Just got my aviator can yesterday and shot a bunch of 10 round groups today at 25 feet.  The best I did today was 4 1/4" group using Remington Thunderbolt 40 grain.  Then a few 4 1/2" groups using Federal 36 grain.  What kind of groups are you guys getting?

No one has ever shot groups with a P22?  Just wondering if those were ok or if I'm way off.  Any imput would be appreciated.

For a P22 that's pretty good, at least compared to what I'm able to do. But may I suggest you stay away from Thunderbolts? They are the dirtiest ammo I've ever run across, and they'll lead your barrel in no time. Remington Golden Bullets are a lot cleaner, still bulk priced, and cycle most P22s fine.

Yeah, the thunderbolts are dirty.  I had some laying around I just wanted to try out.  My main shooting is done with federal bulk pack, which seems to be pretty clean.

I can shoot some great groups with my P22.  I'd say they are almost as good as with my bull barrel 22/45.  I could put them all within 2" at about 20 feet.  Maybe that isn't a huge distance, but I figure for a small .22, that's pretty good for me.

I have tried to shoot groups with my P22 however it is just not a very accurate weapon. It is somewhat decent with CCI Mini Mags though, but the bulk ammo shoots fairly large groups. Your groups sound about right. But i didn't really buy this gun to be a tack driver so it is good for plinking.
