Standard Velocity Match .22LR Ammunition

[imschur]

have any of you guys tried any CCI Green Tag, RWS or Eley standard velocity competition match ammo in your tactical .22's? Im curious about function and accuracy.

Funny you should ask.... I was wondering how std velocity would stack up to HV ammo. Attached target was shot from a bench @50 yds, steady wind from left to right.

I think your weapon prefers the two Federal offerings  :thumb:

Drew, you got me thinking. (dangerous at best) I just got 4 boxes of Fiocchi Biathlon sm 340 super match .22lr from CTD. Will try it next trip to the range and report back.

Cool I look forward to hearing your results  :thumb:

Went to the range today. The results were exactly the opposite from expectations. Shot at 50 yds, on a bench with a bi-pod thru my Colt M-4, with my new Leatherwood scope. Bulls on the left were Federal Bulk Pack, on the right is the Fiocchi super match.

Go figure!

do you have any others to try?

No - Bought 200 rounds of the Fiocchi on a whim. Have never seen the advantage of buying high priced .22 ammo for gp use. And if the Federal will preform like this.....(after I got thru that one bad value pack)

Try the Lapua X-act, Lapua Center-X, Lapua Midas rounds.

Most of the match shooters, including olympic shooters use these.

Its pricey though...expect to pay around $20 per 50 rounds.

I put 550 rounds of Federal bulk thru the Colt OPS and the M&P 15/22P. 3 failures to fire, lite strikes. Two with the Colt, one with the Smith. I had smoke coming off my trigger finger I was dumping rounds so fast. I'll bet the neighbors are still pissed.... :grin:
