Finally got to the range to try out my new to me 222. I bought brass and reloaded some 40grn v-max bullets in Remington brass and Benchmark powder. The gun shot beautifully and I was fairly impressed with the group at 100 considering the shitty Bushnell glass I put on it for the time being.
I did bring it out to 200 but the crosshairs made it difficult to be accurate. But I digress.
An MOA group at 100 was great considering everything, first time behind the gun, and my first hand loads. I looked at data from my Garmin afterwards and was disappointed in the es and sd.
To be fair, this will really only be a target or varmint gun I may shoot some local competitions at the gun clubs, but it won’t be anything that I will necessarily be competing with.
I have an idea or thought that it could be the brass itself or potentially a powder charge that caused the vast variation in data points. Either way it look great on paper and just wanted to get some opinions.
