Re: CZ 452 .22LR - most accurate ammunition?
Ds, I've had good results with Magtech standard velocity, which was strange to me, since it was one of the cheapest brands.
*Edit: I have a Brno Model 2, I believe it's pretty much the same?

Re: CZ 452 .22LR - most accurate ammunition?
Best is to do a test. My 10/22 target is most accurate with norma match and my 452 with lapua center X. Buy a few brands/grains/velocities and go test accuracy at 25, 50, 75 and 100m. Great way to get to know the 22s also at distance.

Re: CZ 452 .22LR - most accurate ammunition?
455 evolution sx match red pack ..
50m 5 shots grouping 10mm
100m 5 shots +-90mm ... 80mm swingers no prop
150m 5 shots +- 140 - 150mm
This was when ammo first hit the market but find the quality has dropped as consistency of groupings on 50m has increased and measurements of neck seating has now increased with a variance from 0.55 to 0.98.
Yes I measure and batch according
Best is try out as much ammo untill you get best accuracy as per gman

Re: CZ 452 .22LR - most accurate ammunition?
I am well aware of the need to test. Time is just limited, and a general guideline is what I hoped for. It seems that std velocity does better than HV's and subs.

What's the furthest distance you'll get out of a .22lr?

Re: CZ 452 .22LR - most accurate ammunition?
Depends on your definition of precision. I once got around 6 MOA at 300m with 6 of the 10 shots within 2 MOA. At that range, even a slight change in wind conditions made a large difference in p.o.i. Had to set the sight 42 MOA up from my 50m zero. Few smallbore scopes can do that.
At 200m 2 MOA is very possible with good ammunition provided wind conditions are easy to adjust for.

Re: CZ 452 .22LR - most accurate ammunition?
As I said on phone, take ammo and go shoot it under perfect conditions at distance you intend to use rifle.
I buy bulk ammo every time I find a special, I have a tag on each rifle - hand gun, listed on that tag is the ammo that that weapon likes.
Shoot it six targets on a page, 6 ammo types test note and file targets.
Buy 5/6 000 when you find a cheapie thats good for that rifle.
Find a better quality ammo and buy bulk of that as you can afford.
I have a 1000 really good for me stuff and 6/7 000 plinking rounds.

Re: CZ 452 .22LR - most accurate ammunition?
Best is Eley match. Bit difficult to obtain, but unbeatable for accuracy. Too expensive for plinking though.
Will also depend on how the barrel is cleaned after the last firing of different brands of ammo.
