Dekers Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) I don't actually have any pics of the groups from my WMR's, suffice to say after finding the right ammo I can get sub 1", my HMR can do sub 1/2", the WMR will never be quite as good as the HMR but the difference is hardly worth talking about as it makes a bigger hole and carries more energy. So where it may lack a TINY bit of accuracy on the HMR it makes up for it in other areas! My last WMR... My current WMR..... EDIT The top WMR loved the CCI 40g Maxi-Mag HP, the new one hated them when it was brand new, groups went out to 1.5-1.75 inches, the 30g ammo of all makes brought it back into 1". The latest WMR is about 3 years old now and seems quite happy with the 40g, although the 30g still just seems to have the edge accuracy wise!

I have read up on all the yanks stuff regarding the wmr. They seem to rate it a lot more than we do. I got a 17hmr on because the 22wmr couldn't just quite print groups 'just'as tight as the 17's. However I can't bring myself to get rid/give up on the round. When it connects it certainly is an impressive little hard hitter and as you say 'makes a bigger hole' Interested to see/ hear of other peoples grouping etc. Thanks for help Dekers, Rich (ps. Lovely lookin rifles) Edited January 15, 2012 by rapid rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 No longer have my WMR,but groups were on a par with those mentioned but only with 40grainers.My Ruger simply didn't like the 32grns(?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 A guy I know is selling his WMR as the best groups he can achieve with it are 2" at 100 yards. This is after trying 4 different brands of ammo. He reckons it's the gun but I reckon he can't shoot for buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
