This video details a rigorous test comparing CCI Standard Velocity and Federal Auto Match .22 LR ammunition using a Ruger 10/22 Takedown. The presenter, Moondog, adopted a new protocol based on viewer feedback, involving a clean cold barrel, barrel seasoning with 20 rounds of a single ammo type, and thorough cleaning between tests. The results indicated CCI Standard Velocity achieved a better average group size (2.34 MOA overall) compared to Federal Auto Match (2.61 MOA overall) in his specific rifle. The test also highlighted that barrel temperature, rather than seasoning, appeared to have a greater influence on accuracy in his rifle, with optimal groups often occurring earlier in the firing sequence.
