.22 LR is a good cartridge for training

[Ready&Fire]

Although .22 LR is often seen as a “simple” caliber, it’s one of the best for revealing fundamentals. With minimal recoil, even small inconsistencies in technique are easy to notice.

Key factors that affect accuracy include ammunition consistency, trigger control, barrel condition, and environmental factors like light wind.

For this reason, .22 LR is an excellent caliber for building solid shooting fundamentals.

About a bazillion 10 or 12 year old boys, (and girls) for nearly the last 150 years can't be wrong. jd

The long list of smallbore shooters who have progressed into top highpower shooters proves this out.

Ammo consistency has been the plague for me. I have ammo cans full of 22 ammo that does not shoot worth a crap.

You're right. I need to set up some steel targets and practice my offhand more.
