[QUOTE="mike243, post: 5844501, member: 3237"] 40g lead is all I want if I am trying to shoot groups, shooting close 30y or less almost ammo will shoot really good, move to 50y and over and you weed it out quickly, the powder load will cause a lot of ugly shots, same thing for high power rifles, lead is easier for me to clean than copper fouling and is more accurate for the most part in my Marlins. Back years ago when I would shoot 500+ rounds a week I could hear the difference in the rounds and knew before I looked at the target that that shot was going to be a flyer. Hyper velocity won't ever be as accurate at a standard velocity ammo. When you pay the big $$ for 22 ammo you are paying for consistency, that's what it takes to get good groups. You won't hear low or louder shots, I shot Federal 40g and think they were #411, all the numbers changed at some point when I blinked, also ammo went over $20 for 500r. the fed auto match was very disappointing when I ran out of ammo and had to restock, was shocked at the prices also. then the ammo hoarding started, I have s couple thousand rounds of various flavors due to hoarding and not mine lol.
