First and best of three 100 yard groups with 18" 3 groove tight rimfire Benchmark .22 barrel on FX Elite single shot rifle. 18.1 gr JSB un-weighed or rolled, 920 fps (probably too high).
Conditions were very good..

CTC = 0.75 inches 0.72 MOA.

Sorted and batched pellets at lower velocity may do better, but it's a start.
This barrel was previously owned and used and profiled for his FX Independence receiver by Dan Brown.
