22WMR is a fantastic all around round. Plinking, target, hunting, defense. The variety of available ammunition is also a HUGE benefit depending on what purpose you're using it for.
There are not a lot of 22 Mag comparisons out there. This was especially good to watch. I've never considered 22 Mag as a target round, at least in comparison to 22 LR, but these results show it can be excellent at 50 yards! I have a Ruger Precision in 22 Mag that I don't shoot a lot. I'm going to buy some CCI TNT and give it a try! THAT was an amazing group! Thanks for the great video!
Great video! I always love seeing more .22 content of any kind. One thing I will add is with rimfire especially, companies use different lubricants on their projectile. In my experience you need to fire about 10 shots through a barrel of that specific ammo before shooting for a group to "season" the barrel to that particular lube. This is especially true in non-plated ammo but it absolutely applies to plated/jacketed ammo as well. I completely understand you had a limited amount of ammo on hand and I'm super thankful for the video you produced for us! Just something for ya to roll around in your brain 😁. Thanks again for your work!
Check the empty case on the dynapoint. I have had them rupture with regularity. Way too nice a gun to be shooting dynapoint in. I did not expect to see such a wide variety of ammo shoot as good as it did. Would like to see what it can do at 100 yards. This one made my day. Thanks.
The TNT's work great out of a handgun too! Surprisingly enough that has a Gold Dot bullet. I haven't seen the CCI's in a while but Federal has the TNT's my guess is it's the same thing with a different brand name.
Man! That rifle doesn't care one bit about what you feed it! Groups 'em all good, and every load was within about an inch or less from thecenter of the cross! You can grab any ammo and know you're gonna hit what you're aiming at! THAT SHOOTER IS A KEEPER! 🎯🎯
Never shot a 22 mag. Always figured the weights would have started at 40 and went up. Looks like they all performed pretty good out of that fine rifle!
Thank you Who Tee Who, I’ve got a couple of these brands of ammo for my rough rider and 22mag bing bang. I keep one close by on the farm for rats, coyotes or other pests that come by from time to time, had to put down a sick fox two years ago, two days later my next door neighbor got bitten by a rabid fox on his porch. Farming in the mountains it’s good to keep a boo lot slinger in reach. 💪🏽🎥💯👍🙏🏻
My 22 mag loved federal ammo using 33 grain Sierra bullets. Unfortunately they dropped it for a different bullet. CCI shoots like that for me out of my savage 93 heavy barrel. Excellent video with good selection of ammo. Keep up the good work!
Awesome video! Very thorough. I love those cci's. I have always had good luck with them. They feed in in anything you can put them in, and they're always consistent. My go to rimfire ammo!
Love the test. I have done lots of testing and the CCI A22 loading in 35gr soft point is by far the most accurate and consistent in my guns. Thanks for the testing and great to see a variety of ammo available again.
CCI makes great ammo, I have no complaints with them. My two marlins in 22 magnum seem to like it. Now the round that my Marlin 25MN and 925M seem to like the most is the Hornsby VMAX ammo. I know that round is hard to find right now, but what I do have on hand that one seems to be a great performer when it comes to sighting in, and taking out rabbits.
A lot of airgun pellet manufacturers makes sample boxes, so that You do not have to by 250-500pcs and then experience lackluster accuracy. Wouldn't that be nice if the ammo maker do likewise, for .22lr/.22mag 10 of each loading, the same for handgun ammo, hunting ammo would 5pcs of each be sufficient to checkout accuracy?
That would be an awesome idea for a retailer to do. They could repackage maybe 5 rounds of several loads as a sample to see what shoots best in their specific rifle. 👍
My old marlin lever action shoots the best 50 yard groups with the lead free CCI and the Hornady ftx prints the best at 100 yards. The bulk 40 grain CCI shoots real good too.
Have been considering the CZ ! And, now seeing it performed with a few select mfrs. Rounds, it definitely has me ready to squeeze the trigger ! ( no pun intended ) ! I am considering the magnum rounds for a secondary back-up gun ! If you had to select one of, for both a hunting round, and a self-defense round, which would be your first choice WhoooDeee ? Excellent job out of your CZ !
I have warne rings on most of my rifles. Seem to be very good rings! Haven’t tried the Norma yet but I will! Hard to beat the CCI maxi mags tho! Should try the 100 yard shooting with this .22 mag. Would be interesting! Love that rifle, by the way!
Don’t know how long the barrel had time to cool between ammo change, but it seemed like after the first shot with each change, the second two shots were much tighter. That’s for the good video sir! You never disappoint. 😊
Nice video. I agree with you. The point is to get bullets on target and having all the data will not do this by itself. Data can be a good prediction but you still have to fire the rifle to find out. Keep up the good work!
2 in the same hole with 1 flyer is why you should always do a 5 shot group. I know, as a shooter I hate to do it cause Im afraid it will open up with more shots but the truth of it is........its a better test........also similar barrel temps. Good video. No Hornady in the test?
It's hard finding a good selection on .22 mag these days. I've been trying to stock up on a few different brands to see what my gun likes the best. When I bought the gun brand new it had a big sticker on it that said if I shoot anything less than 40 grain ammo it void the warranty. I can find a alot of 30 and 40 grain rounds but not many 45 or 50 grain. They are always out of stock.
Great video! I have the exact same rifle. Mine prefers the HORNADY 30gr V max and I have shot a lot of different ammo through it. 2nd best on mine is the Federal 30gr HP
Imagine the bull barrel let the higher velocity shoot true. I'd like to see Norma in a variety of calibers tested for actual velocity, the box label always seem a bit high. The powders burn pretty clean, maybe less hot and slow down barrel burn
Good video, mate. My 22 WMR goes well with CCI 30gr poly tip, can shoot 0.3 of an inch at 50m and 1/2 inch at 100. Also tried CCI JHP the group is not as good as the poly tip but still gets decent groups at 100.
I've always found that three or five shots of one brand then going to the next doesn't work very well. When I try different ammo, if I'm tight on range time I'll just rapidly fire off 5 or 6 of one brand, see how well it works then do the same for the next brand. I thought for sure Norma would do the best but that's why you need to try different rounds
Ive always had better luck , the closer to the action and barrel the scope ,I can get it . I've a ruger 77 22mag and a 77 22 lr and a few more in deer hunting calibers , think something is loose on my 22 mag or the scope is bad . When I feel better, ill lock tight all the mounts and diagnose whats happening
Love these ammo comparisons. Gives us some really good info. Thanx sir for your continued efforts. 😁...@8:03....that CCI TNT is a between the eyes of a groundhog at 50 yds.
I prefer CCI. For things like groundhogs I like a HP, for things I plan on eating like squirrels I prefer the total metal jacket as in my experience there is less damage to the meat. I know I can use a 22lr which causes less damage however I have a Savage 24. It is 22 Magnum over 3" 20 gauge. It is nice because I can use the 20ga for aerial targets and the 22 Mag lets me stretch out to distance. I have never tried as as many different rounds as you did in your video.
Beautiful rifle, on my wish list of ‘retirement guns’ to get before too long. Maybe in a .17 HMR though, as they seen to be more inherently accurate than the .22 Mag., and one of those rifles is all about the accuracy. Great video! P.S…. Love Warne rings and bases, have the QR setup on a couple of my rifles. Solid, quality stuff.
These rim fire mags round are what a lot of people out in the country use for vermin control, like what you grab when your chickens are getting attacked.
🇦🇺😎👍Hey brother, happy Friday……that’s a nice Rig👍…..Remington magnum rimfire was my guess….brother you got some great results🏁….great test mate, good science, catch you on the next one
Making me drool over that CZ. My cheap bull barreled Savage 93 with a 3 x 9 works well for me here in rural backyard varmint country, but boy would I love that CZ.
I've also got a cz (457 i think) 22LR that preférs middle of the road stuff iin terms of weight and velocity. I really like the rail on yours but looks like it sets the overall height of the scope a little too high
I’m anxious to see which ammo my CZ 457, 22 WMR Canadian version will like with lighter barrel ..There are no reviews at the range for this model unless I missed some !!
I'm contemplating a KelTec PMR30 22 Magnum pistol, surely one of these will work with that. They say don't use below a 40 grain charge or it will jam (without an upgrade)... so probably the CCI or Norma jacketed hollow points.
That rifle is beautiful, I'm a big 22wmr ...fan boy.... where did the scope come from and what's the price tag on that? And the rifle if you don't mind?
I like the gun, like the scope but the pic rail raises the scope too high, even higher than high rings ! I like the scope mounted closer to the bore of the rifle but that’s just my personal preference.
Thank you for a interesting video. The maxi mag and the norma was the 2 best in my 457 with standard barrel. Have not tried the tnt(not in stock). The federal 40gr fmj was third best. I have it sighted in with the norma cus i want a hollow point bullet. Aguila silver eagle was the only one that it did not like.
My 22 magnum, semiautomatic pistol, don't run much ,40gr or heavier, ive a few more I use in my rifle, wish the pistol would run the fast light grained bullets

22WMR is a fantastic all around round. Plinking, target, hunting, defense. The variety of available ammunition is also a HUGE benefit depending on what purpose you're using it for.
I'd use pretty much all of these. It's hard to beat CCI. They are my go to for rimfire.

Next time try a 100 yard test pretty cool.
Agreed. Also 22 mag has a lot of inconsistencies, so when I did this test with my rifle, I did 10 shot groups.
@@ballisticlt7452 should at least do 5 shot groups.
Never shot a 22 mag. Always figured the weights would have started at 40 and went up. Looks like they all performed pretty good out of that fine rifle!
I have a CZ 22mag just like that and really like it

Thos fox are crazy. Had one after my dog the other night
I absolutely love the stock on that rifle. Nice vid. Thank you for taking the time to entertain and inform us. I really appreciate the effort.
I got really tight groups with Hornay VMax 30gr with my CZ 457. Nice rifle!
My best load for my 22 mag rifle is Speer gold dot, even though it claims to be for pistols.
👍👍
Gold dots are made as good as a factory load I know. Kinda overlooked with all the marketing competitors. My experience with other calibers
My 22 mag loved federal ammo using 33 grain Sierra bullets. Unfortunately they dropped it for a different bullet. CCI shoots like that for me out of my savage 93 heavy barrel. Excellent video with good selection of ammo. Keep up the good work!
Yep..I do wish that federal would bring that load back..great round, great performance.
+1 on the federal premium with the sierra. Was the ultimate 22 mag round. Awesome on All types of game and verry accurate.
I love Warne rails and rings but I especially like having Warne just across town. I can go get custom fitted. Gotta love that!
Awesome
Now thats a fun video, my pick at the start was the Norma, so I was wrong. That CZ is a fine looking rifle 👍
Awesome video! Very thorough. I love those cci's. I have always had good luck with them. They feed in in anything you can put them in, and they're always consistent. My go to rimfire ammo!
Hopefully you saved enough for the 100 yard test to separate the good from the bad...nice shooting!
I doubt any of these are truly 'bad', just not quite as good....
those cci tnt is what i use in my ruger american love that gun
Love the test. I have done lots of testing and the CCI A22 loading in 35gr soft point is by far the most accurate and consistent in my guns. Thanks for the testing and great to see a variety of ammo available again.

The faster it travels usually equates to a flatter tragectory.
Flat =fast.

And, now seeing it performed with a few select mfrs. Rounds, it definitely has me ready to squeeze the trigger !

That is a crazy tight group. Great combination of ammo, rifle and rifleman.
The CCI TNT in my 17hmr are the most accurate out of all the bullets I have tried in both my 17hmr rifles.
Always good to end the day with WTW and crew 👍
🙏🙏🙏
I love your tests.
You are one of us, so we respect your opinion.

Another great video, thanks. Nothing shoddy in the bunch but those TNT's were an eye-opener! Love 'em all but favor the smaller calibers.
Great video! I have the exact same rifle. Mine prefers the HORNADY 30gr V max and I have shot a lot of different ammo through it. 2nd best on mine is the Federal 30gr HP
Awesome groups! I was curious about the CCI tmj, my rifle groups those better than the other 40gr and looks like yours does as well
Good shooting I would have never thought those TNTs would have shot that good. I've always had good luck with the CCI Maxi mag 40 grains

I have the 457 American in 22mag. Mine likes the Hornady 30gr vmax. I think it may be something to that bullet weight and these CZ’s.

Great shooting man !!!! Beautiful gun too. Thanks for the video
Yes mate did you clean the barrel between each test . I have a 17 HMR and boy does it hate CCI , it just loves Remington
I've only seen good things with CZ's rifles !
Someone (Paul?) was talking as you fired that flyer with the Winchester.
I’d discount it and go with the first two shots.
NORMA is my choice, works even in cold weather 👍🏻
I got some of that TNT, they got big ol deep hollow points , I'm surprised how well they did. Good deal. 👍
Just got some dynapoints today, I like it actually, nothing like the 40gr maxi mag hp

Thanks for this. I recently just bought a 22mag and was wondering what ammo to use
What we’re doing with the barrel? Cold bore? Cleaning between?
I think it’s nuts how much you have to adjust your scope even at 50 yards going from the 30 grainers to the 40
Shooting the CCI Maxi Mag TNT fodder from my Taurus 72 rimfire carbine is sweet. Makes a helluva fireball for a .22, fuhgeddaboudit.
Good test , nice shooting , thanks
CCI rules! Well done Who Tee Who.
That tnt ammo is on the money! I just bought some of that a couple weeks ago.
love 22mag. dude the third shoot on the Rem. 40 gr. looks like you hit a fly and his guts are on the paper.
You forgot one Federal came out with the 22 mag punch lol. You might want to see if you can find any anywhere. They haven't been out too long
I love the .22 mag. Thanks for the info.
Very cool test. Loved it. Thank you
Thanks for watching
I'm contemplating a KelTec PMR30 22 Magnum pistol, surely one of these will work with that. They say don't use below a 40 grain charge or it will jam (without an upgrade)... so probably the CCI or Norma jacketed hollow points.
not only jam but could fire out of battery, just run 40s. There is no upgrade
I found some Critical defense, they are supposed to be 1500 from a 1 1/2 " barrel.
That rifle is beautiful, I'm a big 22wmr ...fan boy.... where did the scope come from and what's the price tag on that? And the rifle if you don't mind?

The maxi mag and the norma was the 2 best in my 457 with standard barrel. Have not tried the tnt(not in stock).
The federal 40gr fmj was third best.
I have it sighted in with the norma cus i want a hollow point bullet.
Aguila silver eagle was the only one that it did not like.
Same rifle and it loves the hornady vmax
My 22 magnum, semiautomatic pistol, don't run much ,40gr or heavier, ive a few more I use in my rifle, wish the pistol would run the fast light grained bullets
Actually not s'prised the CCI did well... I like their primers too!!
Thanks!!
22 magnum 30gr V-max bullets don't open or expand in gel block tests. I need expansion and will stay with Remington 33gr Premiers or TNT's!
My experience with the Winchester dynapoints was awful. Total garbage. I’m posting this before the test, can’t wait to see what you find with them.
