Get out and hit the range!

I know folks have been pretty built up over the recent announcements, sometimes we gotta just put that down for a minute and hit the range!

It's ammo testing day for me!

I've got the a Volquartsen 18.5 inch snake fluted barrel on it; it's been pretty good.

Scope is a 3-15 vortex viper (taken from a safe queen now); some random vortex rings I had kicking around as well.

The best groups were Eley Benchrest semi-auto and Eley Team. Eley Club was pretty close too but I had a few flyers (It's definitely just me pulling it, the rifle is not to blame). CCI SV wasn't bad, I didn't notice a huge change from CCI SV and CCI green tag, I'm convinced green tag is just a marketing scam at this point.

S&B Match was decent but I'm not buying anymore of it for two reasons, it's cheap as hell but also super dirty and I'm not going to support CZ/Colt moving forward.

Next week I'm gonna try some RWS in it.

All of this was shot at 50y, I had similar results at the 100y as well. The Eley Force stops working as well at 100y though from what I've seen.

That’s a sweet rifle ya I was getting good groups out of cci sv in my 10/22 build I can’t bring myself to buy 13$ boxes .22 but could get my groups down to .26” at 50m and was happy with that

Still cheaper then feeding some of my centre-fire options (6.5 CM hurts my wallet).

If your rifle likes the CCI SV, try Eley Club. It's cheap but I find the performance was just a smidge tighter, but that's only off of like, 200ish rounds from each.
