No2 mk4 ammo ?

[Father Ted]

What grain count do these 22lr trainers like the best. I may have finally found one to purchase and I wanted to know what to look for. I will only be punching paper. Are certain grain counts better suited for longer distances? How far can these accurately shoot? Any brands or charges to avoid?
Thanks for any input.
Cheers

Mine like standard velocity ammo.

[Fozzybear]

Mine like standard vel ammo to.
I mainly use Winchester T22.

Got on well with both 'Winchester Super X' subsonic and CCI 'Stingers'
Totaly different trajectories but when sighted in both work.

Great fun on the range when have been shooting the No1 Mk3* and then swap over to the No2 Mk4* - apart from the range officer calling cease fire due to my missfire (he was expecting a 303 'bang') you have time to go and get a cup of tea between firing and hitting the target

Mine gives tighter groups with standard velocity ammo. T22 is good.

How far can these accurately shoot?

Very well at 100yds. So-so at 200. Pitiful at 300yd, but I only did it seriously on one occasion. Good shooting conditions, but the target looked like a shotgun pattern and about the same size. 20" or so, IIRC.

I use Wolff Match Target and Fiocchi Super Match, all standard velocity and quite accurate.
