Here's a nine shot group I pulled off at 22 yards. Getting a little better at this shooting thing. Matador R5M .25 and JSB 25.39 gr at about 900 fps. Think it's just over 1/2". Wish I could shoot further distances.

wish you had more distance also
Have had my FX Impact M3 700mm in 22 cal. for just over a year now with an Athlon Ares 2.5-16X. Started at 50’ indoors, then 50 yards, & now 100 yards. This rifle has been a revelation and joy to work on and with in my pursuit of precision and accuracy.
Anyway, here are five MOA groups at 100 yards from this week with Zan 25 grain slugs traveling at about 995 FPS. Standard STX barrel and the only mods being a carbon sleeve & bore polish.
Not all my groups are MOA but I’m going to do my best to make them more frequent.

By the way, I find it's easier to get MOA at 50 & 75 yards than 100 yards. Going to start thinking about stretching out farther.

.Very nice. You’ll be deadly at 50 yards in the first magazine!
Hopefully you can find a longer range soon.

Great groups OP! If you notice the groups don't stay consistent over distance, you might consider dropping to 880 fps. IIRC, that's the sweet spot that a lot of .25 bench guys use.

Nice groups. 22 yards is not too small of a distance to shoot in. Keep the targets small. Aim small, miss small.

50 yards has become child’s play for the Impact 22 with JSB Monster Redesigned. Obliterated point of aim makes grouping a challenge so I usually adjust scope up to shoot a group. Checking zero this time, outdoors, with a little breeze.

I wish I could stretch stuff out to 50 yards but until a range opens in socal I'm stuck. I can't imagine shooting at 100 with a 4-16 scope but it would be cool to try. Here's another more recent group post barrel cleaning.

At the range, I'm usually shooting at 100 yards with my 2.5-15x. This time it was 197 yards.
In the past I’ve hit a couple of golf balls at 200 yards, but certainly not on every try. Here are my first attempts to put groups on paper over 100 yards. I'm happy, but always looking to improve. Rifle was doing well at 100 and wind was light so I went for it.
The group in the circle target measures 1.75” CTC-just under 1 MOA and is the best. The squares in the other targets are one inch. Wind is always an issue. 27.5 grain Nielsen .2165 slug at 950 FPS.
