Took the Vudoo 360 out to test different flavors. Scope is ATACR 5-25 x 56. Used SK Standard Plus, SK Long Range Match, Midas and Center X. Range is 50 yards, with variable 12-15 mph left to right wind. Did 10 shots in a row 3 X with SK Standard Plus ( top row ), 2nd row was SK Long Range Match 10 shots as well. I have two bricks of both flavors, and I could have done 5 shots instead and groups were a little smaller with 5 shots though but wondered how well it could do with 10 shots instead.
I only had 10 rounds of Midas, first shot was off, then clustered into 9 shots. I could have measured those 9 shots instead, but included the foul shot in the measurement. Disregard the next 5 shots to the right of the Midas group, a friend used his .22 and used CCI.
The last group was with Center X, its my go to tournament ammo, so I was not going to waste too much of these, so I made two 5 shot groups instead. First group measured .405 and the 2nd group measured the same as well. I was so excited when i saw the first 3 went into one tiny hole on the 2nd group, and the 4th shot blew it wide open and the 5th shot went back into the little hole. I measured the 4 shots and it came out to .251", not bad. Overall 5 shots of both Center X groups measured .185" after deductions.

It was late in the evening, so I concentrated at 50. Will resume at 100 with the 3 flavors I have left. I'll stick a steel plate at 150 / 200 for giggles. Will keep you posted soon.

Great rimfire shooting was evident.
 
I was wondering what a top end shooter and a top end rifle can do with run of the mill CCI mini mags. I think sub 1/4moa groups are outstanding with a 22, I’ve never owned one that would come close to that. Getting close to 1 inch groups at 50 yards gets me doing a happy dance. I keep ruminating on buying a decent bolt gun just for shooting those kinds of matches you are describing. Looking forward to seeing how the vudoo and you do.
 
I’d love to pick up a voodoo myself. I have been very impressed with how my tikka T1x has done. Clay pigeons at 300+ are a lot of fun. I bought special thin steel for my rimfire to help see movement at 200-300 yards.
