So we keep a little custom 17 Mach 2 rifle at the patio door specifically for shooting red pine squirrels in the front yard… Mrs is probably a better shooter than I am, and has been complaining lately that she can’t hit squirrels anymore ( that scope must be bad ) well the scope is not bad… but I used up a brick of Eley 17 Mach 2 ammo, so I brought up a box of CCI V Max 17 Mach 2 ammo… the CCI is fine ammo, it just shoots to enough of a different point of impact, that the squirrels have been getting away
The other day I opened a new brick of the Eley ammo… this afternoon there were 3 of the “crack rats” in the big walnut tree, so I loaded up 5 rounds of Eley into the rifle… got a good shot, where 2 overlapped in my sight picture, and dropped 2 with one shot… racked the bolt quickly, and dropped the 3rd squirrel with the 2nd shot… thinking Mrs will be happy I brought up some more ammo the scope was sighted in with
I wouldn’t have expected a 6” difference in point of impact at 60 ft with the same weight and type of bullets… but must be pretty close to that
