A short ammo test

In this case, noticed these at work the other day
40-grain bullet at 1050 feet per second.  Price wasn't bad, so got a box to try.  Which led today to this at 25 yards on the bottom bullseye, 30 at the top


Which is not bad for a iron-sighted rifle and resting my forearm on the bench.  And on top, that one to the left was a called flyer.

I shot two more groups and they were comparable.  I'm going to get more of this stuff and try it out with a better rest, and if the weather is good at longer distance.  And from the sound, I suspect it would work very well with a suppressor.
