I bought a walmart 22 lr, it says 1200fps with plastic pellets, which I assume are about 10 grains. I dont have it yet. I have been making 223 cast bullets and have my quality at 1-2moa at 1500 fps with a savage 223 22" . I am going to try shooting my 50 grain 223 pellets, lubed with either lee alox or some other combos I am trying.
I weighed my production pellets at 15 grains+/- so I expect 500-600 fps with 50 grain. I dont mind the drop, I want the energy, sized consistency, lube and home casting capability.
With my gamo silent cat I get 5moa with factory pellets, not counting scope mounting issues. With my own quality on pellets, I expect better. I do NOT want to spend $1000 up on a pellet gun at this time.
What can I expect for accuracy from the gun, Iron sights I guess, unless I put a scout scope on it?
