I expect that they will be at least half the group size of bulk ammo. That is the results I got with Federal Hunter Match. I will redo the tests of the Federal too now that I have a chrono. These and the Federal will be ammo I reserve for hunting small game.

Yeah, ELEY Contact is what groups tightest in my Ruger 10-22 with a Kidd Barrel.

Tested 7 different brands. It surprised me that Federal was the worst.

Selling a few boxes of ELEY Contact over on the Classifieds if anyone is interested.

BUT, Only a *Few* boxes

I wanted match grade hunting ammo. For target shooting bulk ammo is adequate for me.

Interesting you guys get supposedly such better groups with eley. I heard they were great so I've tried tenex, match and team in my Ruger precision and while good, all three produced groups no better than the others and interestingly, did just as well with (IIRC) bulk federal hollow points. I almost felt let down and am still searching for that "wow" load.

Did you happen to find that ammo online or a brick and mortar? Would love to try some sub sonics

 

[The Heretic]

Well, I don't have a precision .22 rimfire rifle, all mine are on the level of a 10/22 - I don't even have a scope on any of them (needed for my eyes). I have a red dot on one of my 10/22s and that is what I used when I tested the Federal match against Remington bulk. I am going to get a scope mount for my Ruger Compact and do some testing with that.

Good to know I bought a case of Ely subs and have not tried them yet they should be great in the Tx1 with the can .

For hunting purposes I am really impressed by Browning BPR (Browning Performance Rimfire) Hollow points. In my testing this round came in second only to Eley Contact in accuracy, and yet its 1435 fps. Wish I could find some more.

I will have to give a try. I did want subsonic too though as I am thinking that my first suppressor will be an integral suppressor for a takedown 10/22.
