Up until I started shooting long range, I never realized the difference ammunition can make.
Not only will ammunition choices shoot more or less accurate than eachother they will also shoot up, down, left or right. Shown in the target photo is a series of groups fired from my Marlin 880SQ .22LR rifle with an assortment of ammunition. I think everyone should test their weapons with different ammo, not only does this give you good practice but lets you know what you are capable of doing AND what your rifle/ammunition combination is capable of doing. This knowledge is invaluable in emergency situations! Think about if you were low on ammunition, or you only have the chance to take one single shot at a bird or other animal for food. Can you make that shot at various distances with the ammo in it now?
