Range Report on the LCRx 22 Mag 3" ?

[Hunter6657]

Does anyone have a range report on this revolver with accuracy testing out to 25 yards or less and possibly some chronographed velocities?

I have the LCRx 3" 22LR and it shoots good but high and I plan to put a taller front sight on it. I was wondering if the 22 mag version shot high as well and just what kind of accuracy it has with a measured/estimated group size.

Well, I have an Earl revolver coming and will test it once it comes in.
Hopefully someone will chime in on how their LCRx 22 Mag shot with the usual 40gr bullet loads or the Federal 50gr load.

There are a couple of reviews on the Lcrx 22 mag 3 inch, one on realguns.com and another on chuckhawks.com. As I recall realguns chrono results were near 1250 fps from CCI 40 grain and 1300 to 1400 fps using a couple different 30 grain 22 mag rounds. I have one and like it a lot as a kit gun.

Thanks for the info, that is what I was looking for. Does yours shoot high?

Mine shoots just about point of aim at 10 yards with 40 grain CCI gamepoints. I'm going to try some other loads/longer distances and adjust the sights as needed.

I finally broke down and got one after musing over it for 2 months. I have the LCRx 3" 22LR also.
Mine shoots great and is on at 12-15 yards with CCI Maximag 40gr. Shoots a little higher with the Winchester 40gr JHP. It really likes the Maximags and shoots those more accurate than the 22LR. My 22LR shoots high at close range and higher at longer range. I'm going to put the higher front sight on it. The 22 mag model has the white front sight and it may be the model they put on the 357 revolvers.
I think it's a really great trail gun and lightweight to carry. I also have a Kel Tec PMR 30 that shoots very well and trumps the revolver on capacity with a 30rd mag but I do like my revolvers.
I'll have to dig out the chronograph and get some data off the loads.
