What makes an accurate 22LR | Mythbusting Part 2 #DPGunworks

Dude this is a GREAT SERIES !!! Thanks for taking the time to put this all together, it’s obvious there is a ton of time in this video . Super well done Buddy

Good that you touched on lead ( bullet ) hardness. there are so many myths about this subject especially in the handgun side of things. I like the way you approached and presented your analysis of what you find to be the causes for downrange performance. I wish I could afford to have you build a 22 for me ( to old and to broke to really matter) what I like the most about you is your work ethic , attention to detail and how you backup your approach with real life testing - analysis. Keep up the good work. Love your videos.

Man, the wealth of information offered in this video is incredible. Great editing as well, good pace as the video continues.

I'm 74 years old and have been a .22 rimfire nut since I was a kid. Lots of smallbore silhouette shooting, small game and pest hunting, and just pretty much loving being on the shooting end of .22 rifles and pistols. Your series has answered a lot of questions for me and I really appreciate your deep dive into the science and art of .22 rimfire. I also shoot PCP .22 caliber air rifles a lot and find it quite exciting that the trend lately is toward slugs rather than traditional diabolo pellets. In fact, the high end air rifle ballistics are about the same as standard velocity .22 rimfire ammo while maintaining excellent accuracy. Have you looked at any of the air rifle barrel and slug designs? Thanks for the great videos. Jess

Learned a HUGE amount from you man. Glad the entire YouTube world isn’t all just marketing. Thanks for putting this together.

Dude, with this series of videos you've started writing the "Online .22 Rimfire Bible"! Trust me, there are many of us who appreciate you imparting your knowledge to us.

I have nothing to contribute, but I feel like you deserve a comment… Fabulous information based on your real world experience. We need more of this in the world!

Thank you for giving us more answers to questions in terms that relate to actual shooting accuracy results. The time that you have spent researching and doing the leg work is amazing. Keep the videos coming.

Coming from PRS and mil sniper comps, apparently my arrogance thought I would pick up NRL22 right up. Wouldn’t you know .22 is a whole new world. I don’t like to waist my time with processes that BR or F class guys do. I have nothing against them just not my style of shooting. I also need to know the science behind the process backed up with practical use in testing. Thank you for your knowledge and the work you put into this information. Dave

Really enjoyed this episode! Easy to understand ,and follow what you were explaining! Definitely makes me question the wisdom of spending money on cans and muzzle brakes on.22 rimfire rifles!! Whole lot of money,for diminishing returns!!😮 😊 Great information!!

Excellent analysis! First time I have seen the hardness variable addressed in a video on 22LR. Thanks for the educational update.

Great stuff! Your explanation of the cold bore shot phenomenon makes complete sense. I hadn’t realized how many factors there are that determine 22 ammo consistency and accuracy.

You did an awesome job explaining that. Tons of information concisely and directly presented logically. Things that I've never even thought of with 22LR. Super awesome

Thank you, SIR, for very interesting and informative video! I'm a LONG TIME (about 60 year 22lr shooter, I'm 71). The first 2-22lrs, a Remington Nylon 66 and a Ruger Mk I, which started my PASSION with shooting 22lrs. I've not quite gotten to your level of expertise, but I do enjoy shooting ACCURATE weapons. Right now, I'm in a kinda LIMBO area now trying to recover from having a FIRE at my old house that was in my BEDROOM at 3AM!!😮 I'm LUCKY to be ALIVE, actually! I did lose a couple of my TOYS, and just a couple of months ago, I got the REST OF MY TOYS from a friend who was holding them while the insurance company played out which has been a NIGHTMARE to say the least!! They DRAGGED their feet and weren't very helpful, actually! They almost acted as if dealing with the aftermath of a FIRE was something I was very familiar with!! This was the FIRST TIME, and I PERSONALLY haven't known anyone who has had to deal with this CATASTROPHE!!! Getting back to shooting 22lrs, I'm on a older Single shot kick NOW! I was curious how ACCURATE some of the old rifles from before, during, and after the turn of the century rifles and PREWWII German training rifles were!! The quality of material and WORKMANSHIP is very evident since most of my OLD TOYS still function as well as they did when they were NEW more than 100 years ago, which is a testament to the quality of the OLD WORLD CRAFTMANSHIP and best materials at that time!!!😊 I'm in the process of putting them through their paces checking how ACCURATE they are. I've got a couple of really cool pieces: Remington Rolling Block #4 and a 1 1/2 sporter in 22lr (only made less than 5,000 in all the deferent rim-fire calibers). It's quite heavy with a 24" octagon barrel that is .776" across the flats and it's got a SWEET TRIGGER!! I want to try to get a original rear tang sight for it to increase my sight radius, to make more accurate shots. I wouldn't think of putting a SCOPE on it, it would look STUPID even if I got one of the OLD STYLE LONG SCOPES from that time period but they are quite EXPENSIVE and I like the tang sights (I'm sure they were much more common and prevalent back then!!) I like being able to hit small things at a 100 or so yards with old rifles that would make some NEW, MODERN AND EXPENSIVE 22lrs JEALOUS!!!😮😅😅 KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK PROMOTING THE SHOOTING SPORTS!!!😊😊😊

Loving the series, and your sense of humor. Thanks Kenny!

Your practical insight is a wealth of wise counsel. Thank you! The series unfolded at a perfect pace with verification of the facts with your testing gear and observation of the results.

FANTASTIC VIDEO!! There are almost good videos on bullet casting and accuracy. Nicely done!

The most accurate 22lr I own is an Anschutz match 54, 24in barrel. If you swage a bullet through the barrel you'll notice the bore diameter gradually tightens. They hand lap the barrel at the factory with fewer strokes at the muzzle, this probably allows for a more gradual deformation of the bullet

Your understanding of these concepts is amazing. Excellent video.

Wow! This was a LOT of very interesting and educational information! Well done! I will have to watch this video a few more times to fully absorb it all, but that's OK, I enjoyed it! Thanks for putting this together! Definitely "THUMBS UP"!
