I personally think that's sorta a cop-out.


I shot 10m precision air rifle for the NRA when I was a young kid. There is cheap pellets we all know and use. Then there is expensive German mach grade pellets that are held to higher standards. Heck they were even placed individually in styrofoam, like eggs. Sure we measured each pellet to achieve more consistency, but they were far better none the less.
I just cant see why some hunting .22 ammo couldn't be held to the standards of match grade ammo? I would pay the extra buck or two, to know that I'm getting more consistency, with some of my rimfire hunting ammo.

I guess there is no real demand for it. But its not like rimfire ammo could be re-loaded like standard cartridges. I just sometimes think taking game is as important as shooting a high score.

Oh well.. I guess its just my pipe dream. I just gotta get to work on my cleaning/shooting, and work with what I have. Or maybe just buy a better barrel.
