22 WMR Ammo

skoutfitter, Got my new Handi Sportster in .22 Mag last week. Shoots Winchester Supremes (Black Box) best, $7.95 a box, 45  grains. Next best and only a breaths difference is the CCI Maxi Mags at $5.95 a box, 45 grains. Almost the exact same POI!! Great shooters. The $5.95 HP's for fun and small stuff and the $7.95 jacketed for larger varmits and serious competition. The CCI Maxi-Mags+V's at $5.95 (unknown Grain weight) look promising but shot to such a different POI I did not even get them on the paper at 50 yards the first time out. I will try again but the gun is sighted in now for 2" high at 50 yards and dead on at 100 yards with the Maxi-Mags and Supremes (Black Box). I love the gun and caliber so far, It's fun to shoot and I am sure you will like it also....<><.... :grin:

I just picked up a Sportster 22WMR too, but mine is not the Ultra with the heavy barrel.  I replaced the synthetic stocks with a set of walnut stocks from a handi rifle.  I also put an O ring (9/16"O.D. x 3/8"I.D. x 3/32" thick) on the barrel stud to float the barrel.  I'm using a Swift Premier 4-12x40ao scope mounted with Burris (high) rings.  

I took it to a 25 yard indoor range this week and shot it for the first time using Winchester Supreme® 34 gr. Jacketed Hollow Points after I bore sighted it with my laser bore sighter.  Here's a picture of an 8-10 shot group (I didn't keep track, and now I can't tell for sure).  When I can get to a 50 or 100 yard randge I'm going to try the Remington Premier® 33-grain Hornady V-Max™ bullets and maybe the Federal Premiums.
