Here is the Mossberg 715T fitted with a Nikon Prostaff 3×9 that I tested today. The rifle retails for around $300.00, I got mine new for much less. This was an initial test for High Velocity 22LR Ammo to see if the action can handle a heavy load and tested this ammo for accuracy at 25 yards. Five shots of each High Velocity Brand were shot in slow fire. Temperature was in the 20’s, Sunny, Wind 5 -10mph

Winchester Target                               1 3/4 inch group         1000FPS –

Best Accuracy was obtained by Norma TAC-22 at 3/4 inch followed by CCI Velocitor with a 7/8 inch group.  More cycle tests are coming with 25 rounds loaded. The only thing that I had difficulty with initially was to load more than 10 rounds in the Clip, (25 in clip) it was difficult. Others reported the same issue. A second clip costs 34 dollars. Below is the ammo I tested with it. Some of the ammo has been on my shelf for years but this past summer I found it to be fine. I did have an older CCI Stinger today that fired but the powder only partially ignited and the bullet had to be pushed out of the barrel. During the summer I had no issues with this older ammo, perhaps the colder air affected the ignition? All in all, this high velocity ammo fed well and grouped well. More tests to come…© 2014
