I like what Don says here ... even this little stuff counts
.And Kurt is right-on with that .22!
RE: .22 ammo - Don McDowell - 03-10-2015
I honestly think doing a lot of the 22bpcr shooting helps when I get to the big gun stuff. A lot of the ballistic calculations are really close, and then you have to do the follow thru, don't fat finger the trigger etc.. shooting the 22's can only help.

That is why I made the .22 with the same profile and weight as the .44. What kills me at these matches is the usual tiebreaking off hand shots. I have been working with the off hand using the .22 and I can see that it's starting to shrink my groups shooting off hand. I do better with the tang sights then I do with the scope.

That is some fine shooting Kurt. I need to hit the stores and see whats on the self around here. Shooting 22's sure do alot to keep your skills improving.
