Looking to get into rimfire benchrest, and I have questions.

Wow, that is a deep rabbit hole.
I have never been so excited to get ammo delivered to the house. I used to order from 2 or 3 different sites. Now I am scouring the web trying to find ammo I had never heard of a month ago.

Fun huh?

Anything in particular you're looking for? I've got a good handful of ammo mine didn't just love

Heck yeah! Do you have any experience with RWS ammo? It's hard to locate.

I am trying to find any RWS that I can get my hands on.

Don't thinkni have anything else RWS. If I have some, I'll message you

No, never heard of it before. I've been thinking about trying the match just for fun.

The first pic is what I've tried so far. The second pic is the stuff I won't be using.

And we've been waiting for you to show up!!

and here I was thinking that everybody weighs their loads and sorts them accordingly. I guess I could weight them to the .00 and check rim thickness

Now that Savage finally sent me a gun that shoots straight I'll probably be at the match on the 22nd. Still getting used to it and trying to find the ammo it really likes but so far the best I've used is SK pistol match special. I've been having a hard time finding other match grade ammo too.

Here is the best target I've done so far with it. The few that are not inside or touching the center circle were my fault. Hope I can do that good at a match, but I'll most likely never do it again!

Nice shooting. That "my fault" is the one that will get you every time.

Alot of times I'm doing 3 shot groups on x gun. Sometimes I stop at 2..... lol (350L @100) A man has to know his limitations...

I had forgot about weighing them, lol. Weigh and sort by rim thickness within lot numbers. It gets crazy.

Academy does have the Norma Tac 22. I've used it and it's not bad but in mine but is not as good as the SK.
I recently got an email from Norma saying they now have a Match grade of ammo I want to try. The only place I can find it is at Norma's website. Since I'm only "trying" I just want a few boxes and Norma wants $20 shipping so it's not worth it for 2 or 3 boxes. I'll wait until I see it in a store or somewhere else online while I'm ordering other things too.

I don't know how you are mounting your rifle...trigger hand with thumb over the top of the stock or running down the edge under the bolt lift. You might try putting your thumb behind the trigger guard and pinch the trigger like that. You can also use your thumb to check and make sure your stock is on the stop if you are using a higher end front rest. Assuming you have rear support of course.

 

[Fanner50]

Do you avoid caffeine the morning of the match? Not me, personally I'm going to drink my coffee, but some do. Interestingly, you can do everything right as all have said above, and one little puff of wind half way down range to the target just as you're pulling the trigger can screw it all up, lol.
