First up was the lower target. The cluster of holes in the center is using the old Steven's Favorite and Remington 22 Subsonic ammo. Ballistics from the box: MV 1049 fps, ME 93 ft-lbs, "ballistics developed in rifle-length test barrels." Just because I like including these kinds of details. Fires a 38 grain hollowpoint. I adjusted the sights twice until I started getting them in the 10 ring. I guess my dad likes to use a different sight picture. The top target is 5 or 6 shots after I finished adjusting the sights. Looks pretty good except for that one flier. This is from a distance of roughly 20 yards, because I was shooting out of my back door and that's the first dense clump of oak trees in the line of sight from the door.
The lower cluster of shots in the lower target are those Super Colibri "no powder" .22's in the Single Six. I wasn't too worried about pin-point accuracy because I'm not convinced this ammo hits to the same point of aim as "real" ammo.
All shots were fired from a bench. I didn't feel up to free hand today, and I plan on doing my squirrel hunting from carefully pre-planned sniper positions, anyway.
I'll have to take the Single Six to the range next time and test fire several different kinds of ammo from the bench to see if they all hit the same. But today I think I'll just try to get some rest and see if the pounding in my head will stop.
I need to see about getting a pressure cooker, too. Squirrels are best when pressure-cooked.
