[QUOTE="docohm, post: 2948126, member: 40838"] I recently read an article that compared several brands of 22LR and I wanted to compare my two 22 pistols so I decided to test them all at once! First, I bought several types of 22LR ammo, mostly match grade. Then I setup some targets at 50 ft and recorded the results. With each type of ammo and each gun I shot 5 rounds to foul the barrel and acclimate it to that particular brand of ammo, then I fired 5 shots into another target for scoring. All these were shot from a rest. I used my Ruger 22/45 MkIII which has several mods on it, Volquartsen trigger, gamechanger compensator, and Williams fiber optic sights. I compared it against my much newer S&W SW22 Victory which is factory stock. See the attached PDF file for the results, I put them all in a spreadsheet and a pdf file is the easiest way to see them. OR would you like the bottom line? Ok... Pistol________________Best Group___Ammo_________ Average Group Size Ruger22/45 w/ several mods_0.75 Winchester HV __________2.19 S&W SW22 Victory (stock)___1.25 CCI Pistol, Armscor, Win HV 1.88 The Ruger had the best group (0.75") but I think that was a fluke, the S&W had the best average group size (1.88") using all the different ammo. I'm planning to buy some more Armscor Precision 36gr HV ammo, my SW22 liked it the best and the price is right. [/QUOTE]
