Vudoo 22LR V22 Ammo Shootout!

I’ll be interested in your tuner video. I’ve watch some others tune a .22. Problem is the tuner looks like it’s helping, but if you start the process a 2nd time, it doesn’t tune at the same numbers. .22 ammo seems to have to much variation from shell to shell for a tuner to work well. Reloaders of center fire cartridges are much much more exact in building a cartridge and tuners work well for that. Bullets are weighed exactly, brass is trimmed exactly, primers are consistent, and powder charge is exactly the same. Tuners are also helpful if you have had your barrel cut, because the metal removed from the end is detrimental to accuracy. So adding back a tuner/break does help.

Thanks for a very informative video, I'm glad I've not spent the money on a Voodoo. My Tikka T1x and Bergara b14r shoot .25 to .35 groups consistently at 50 yards with several different loads. And both shoot moa or better at 100 yards. I do have Nightforce and Trijicon scopes on my rifles with upgraded triggers. Again Thank you for your information.

I have been waiting somewhat patiently for a new video, lol. I REALLY enjoy your analysis of things! The spreadsheets and charts that you include on many of your videos are golden, keep them coming.

What I learn from this is how hard it is to get reliable data. Strictly speaking you should be shooting at least 5 groups of 5 at 50, 100, and 200 and ideally focus on one distance and shoot 10x. But of course, the time and effort required then become enormous. Unless one is a top competitor, it sounds like you live with limited info and make some compromises or else pay Lapua to test for you and then retest at home with a tuner. And probably still test your top 3 with at least half a dozen groups each.

One of the best video clips I've seen so far. 5 of us did some 100m group shooting about 2 weeks ago. The following rifles took part, Anschutz Mod 54, Anschutz 1712, CZ MTR and Tikka T1X. Ammo used was Eley Match, Center X, and SK Rifle Match. 5 shot groupings ran from 0.906 - 1.712 inches. The 4 shot groupings ran from 0.545 - 1.712 inches. All the ammo and groups had a flyer. Good rifles with good shooters using relatively top ammo. There was even a weight and rim sorted shooter in the group. 4 of the 5 guys had groupings of less than 1inch.

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to document this for us!

Thanks for the excellent details and data. Thank you for your hard work !

I have the V22..testing ammo. Mine likes center x and Ely black box match. I also shot some Geco Match and Geco semi auto that did well. Tenex didn't do too well. All my shots are at 50 yards. I have a tuner ordered, so I will see what that does. Great video. Thanks.

just started shooting 22 good data to think about

Thank you for doing this. I really appreciate it. I got my new kss tuner I stalled

Great video! Thanks for the info. I’m mainly using SK long range right now and it’s winning matches, but I did buy some SK rifle match, this gives me hope on the rifle match!

...the only issue I found with SK Match @100 yards was vertical spread after 6+ rounds, the first shots 5-6 were .75" - almost all touching - but then they would start shooting high. I repeated it a few times from a cold bore. Could be heat retention characteristics of my heavy barrel but I've found a brand of Eley that isn't affected, so I use those with great results!

I’m getting great results with x-act and my KSS tuner. - about .6 MOA vertical .4 MOA horizontal at 100 yards - I think I can tweak the tune.. Great vid as always - looking forward to what you do with the tuner. I have a boat ton of X-Act and its shooting well but clearly will have to try the Center-X in the future.

I did approximately the same experiment last month with my recently purchased Bergara B14-R with a 5-25X56 Vortex Strike Eagle scope. I used four ammo flavors on a dead calm day, 79 degrees, 99% humidity (gotta love Florida in July) and pressure of 30.2 inches Hg. The chrono results are from a Chrony Beta Master. Of course, I'm different shooter with a different rifle and ammo lots on a different day in different weather conditions than you had so this is just another set of data. The SD's and ES's are for all rounds shot. The groups are an average for the best 4 of 5 shots over five groups except for the Tenex which was only two groups. The groups were shot with a bi-pod and rear bag off a bench. Ammo # of rounds SD (fps) ES (fps) 100 yards (inches) 200 yards (inches) SK Rifle Match 50 8.65 47 0.82 1.37 SK Long Range 30 7.30 40 1.10 1.65 CCI Std. Veloc 50 9.30 58 1.05 1.17 Eley Tenex 40 7.00 32 1.05 1.02

Awesome video, thanks for sharing.

I get 1 hole groups at 50 yds with Center X out of my Vudoo but it's lot-tested by Capstone in Mesa

Vertical dispersion is what counts... not horizontal. Air movement.

So how are your thoughts now on ammo for the vudoo. I still haven’t found any center x here in alaska

Thanks for taking the time to provide this analysis. Interesting results especially for the SK Match beyond 50 yards. What happened to Center-X beyond 50 yards? I believe you reported that you are using SK Match for competition now and it is performing well. Is there any reason to spend more money on ammo if the SK Match is performing to your satisfaction?

Give me a 54:18 Anschutz. Center x @ 100 with the voodo looked Great!!!!
