Ruger Precision Rimfire 22lr Ammo Comparison Part 1

I just did a LOT of shooting with my cousin this past weekend to test out the Ruger Precision Rimfire in 22lr and wanted to share a lot of data with everyone. These are 5 shot groups at 50 yards measured in inches center to center. The wind was light. The temp was about 64. A group size with a * means a flyer was observed and counted in the measurement Your results may vary. Enjoy! Eley Club 0.36 Eley Edge 0.387 CCI Standard 0.421 CCI Mini mag 0.457 CCI SGB 0.503* RWS Rifle Match 0.581 SK Pistol Match 0.591 CCI Velocitor 0.598 RWS Target Rifle 0.639 Eley Practice 0.64 Gemtech Silencer 0.677 Federal Gold Medal Match 0.691 CCI Stinger 0.703 * Agulia Pistol Match 0.715 Agulia Super Extra 0.726 Agulia Super Extra 0.735 Fiocchi Performance 0.747 Agulia Target Competition 0.75 Winchester Super Suppressed 0.773 wolf match 0.803 Remington Thunderbolt 0.806 Eley High Velocity 0.833 Federal Hunter Match 0.864 Federal Champion 0.881 * Federal Gold Medal Target 0.882 Federal HV Match 0.928 Eley Target 0.975 * CCI Green Tag 1.056* Agulia Sniper Subsonic 1.182 Magtech Standard 1.191 Federal Auto Match 1.193 Winchester Subsonic 1.202 SK Standard Plus 1.221 Armscor Gold color hollow 1.29 Winchester M22 1.303 CCI Select 1.331 SK Rifle Match 1.347 Geco Rifle 1.454 CCI Mini mag 1.467 Federal Black Pack 1.48 Federal Field & Range 1.487 Remington Viper 1.498 Eley Subsonic 1.507 * CCI copper 1.654 Armscor Copper color hollow 1.727 CCI Segmented 1.842 Winchester Varmint HE 1.864 RWS Subsonic 1.905 Remington Yellow jacket 2.237

Wow dude, you put a lot of work into that for us. Good research, thank you sir!

You keep saying that you wouldn't want to shoot a subsonic beyond 50 yds. Actually, you will find that subsonic is MUCH more accurate at long range in a .22LR. When you shoot a lightweight bullet at 1200fps, it very quickly drops below the speed of sound. It goes trans sonic somewhere from 40-70 yds, usually. As it dips below the speed of sound, the pattern of the shockwaves change, and the bullet is destabilized. Once it is destabilized at 40-70 yards, it has the rest of it's flight time to wander all over the place. This is why you might see great groups at 50 from a supersonic, but crappy groups at 100. If you use a subsonic, it never goes trans sonic. OK, there is more drop, but you get yourself a 20-30MOA scope base, and you are fine out beyond 300. Yes, the bullet lands on the target like a mortar, but it's consistent and predictable.

One of THE BEST 22lr ammo comparison videos I've ever seen. Subbed. Cant understand how you only have 1.4k subs ??? Your dedication to detail & thoroughness is to be applauded. 👏👏

Love your presentation showing the groups after the fact without putting the viewer through every shot! Your summaries are perfect info. To make a decision for the viewer.

Wow, one of the best .22lr ammo videos I have ever seen, thanks! Subbed

Man thanks for such an in-depth look into the world of 22LR ammo accuracy!

Found this 2 years late. It is the best .22lr ammo video I've watched. Love it!

Man, I love your documentation, time and $ you spent on this. Thank you. Seems .22 rifles are notorious for being ammo sensitive. I prefer subsonic and suppressed so no earplugs. My son just went two/ten at a 20 gauge empty shotgun shell at 115 yds. Shooting from prone, Savage MKII, BSA Glass, and CCI standard subsonic. Winds were from 0 to 10 and changing directions. Went 5/5 on 6” gong at 200. Ran out of adjustment and was just using holdover (no dots or lines), so I am proud of it.

I appreciate the time and effort you put into this video.....fantastic job.

I love these videos, the best thing to take away is buy a "buffet" of .22 and see which your rifle loves to eat. Thanks for such a complete reveiw

WOW, you really went all out, you sir are excellent ! I subscribed just because of stumbling across this video. You showed facts not fiction and constantley stated "for your rifle on the day" well done and I can't wait to see more. Personally I shoot 300 win mag long range and 308win beyond what most would. You made me pull my .22 out of the safe and be excited !!

Nice summary. Norma TAC22 shoots very well in my RPR rifles. 8/10" 5 shot group at 100 yds. You have to clean the barrel and shoot a bunch of the Norma to acclimate the barrel to the waxy lube. It's that way with any of the bullets that have the soft lube.

A suggestion for these types of accuracy videos. When you are shooting 10 round groups, I would allow for operator or environmental (wind) error at least once. (I'm a mathemetician, throw out the best and worst, average the rest. I'm willing to live with leaving the best in since it would often be hard to pick out.) Throw out the worst flyer and post the results for a 9 round group. The CCI Standard for example would have been MUCH better. Good Video! I like this kind of information.

Your dedication to comparing several different manufacturers and loads for the 22lr should be commended. It’s time consuming and NOT cheap to this comparison of the results in your rifle. Anyone that has a 22lr would be doing themselves a huge favor by doing this type of comparison for themselves. Every rifle is different and the 22lr specifically is probably more particular to certain ammo. If someone were to just pick up a random ammo for their 22lr and maybe has bad results at the range may think their rifle isn’t any good. Finding the ammo that your rifle likes is crucial to being happy with your ability to hit what you’re aiming at. Thanks for sharing your experience at finding out what YOUR rifle likes. 😊

Man...your video packs a punch...most ammo reviews shows the person load, shoot, reload...pause repeat.... Your style should be the standard...thanks! 👍🏻

When you get right at the point of breaking the sound barrier then you start having group problems. Thats why the PMC at 910 FPS shot a good group, you gun barrel twist rate and the slower FPS works very well together. Once you get to around 1130 fps and above its a different story most of the time.

Love the video and extremely thorough comparison. I’m surprised you didn’t try anything from Eley or the Federal Ultra Match but I understand trying to keep the cost down as low as possible. I tested 7 different ammos in my RPRR and found that it liked the Eley Tenex, Federal Ultra Match and Eley Edge best in that order. The CCI 40 gr standard velocity was a close match as well until I went out to 100 yds. That’s when the Tenex really separates itself from the others. Great video!

Thank you for your sacrifice spending $17.99 on a box of 22 ammo just to inform the masses! Seriously awesome, informative video. Manufacturers of 22lr ammo must really hate YouTube lol. Good shopping and wise purchases have never been so easy thanks to folks doing stuff like this.

One of the best rimfire ammo comparisons on YouTube, I just ordered 15 boxes of auto match today my gun loves them too .... it also hates that thunderbolt garbage
