ANSCHUTZ lr22 MATCH 54

[100m airgun]

100 yard comps are very common with the bull at that distance being around 1 inch. There have been comps held at 200 yards but they are very uncommon, There used to be one held anually on the old 200 yard shorts range at bisley (roughly where the new shotgun layouts for the comonwealth games are now) IIRC. I belive this was shot on the old size NRA fullbore target.

In Holland we started 100m competitions:

The Leslie Williams shoot is 200yards. The wind is a problem at this distance but should still group within 2".

Back in the late fifties at the Powder-mill range,Battle East Sussex,a club member would bring his BSA 12/15 .22 and Eley Club ammo while we were shooting .303 at 200yards.If it was not blowing a gale he would thrash us,being able to group well in the bull.

What's a good group ? this is relative term. I shoot around 150 rounds a week at 100 yards and I'd guess that a match rifle in good condition in the right hands should group ten shots to an inch at 100 yards, and I'd include a match 54 in this category. At 200 yards, what the rifle could do and what the shooter could achieve are two different things, I'd guess that a rifle as above could more or less group within 2 inches, but not many shooters could achieve anything like that unless in very still conditions.
Consistency of velocity could throw these figures out by a large amount as a mean velocity which changes by 20 fps could give rise to an extra drop of 1inch at 100 yards (if my calculations are correct), which makes a 1 inch group sound pretty good to me.
