What's the Best 22 Ammo you've ever shot?

bshedwick · Feb 17, 2015

I've shot a lot of different types of 22LR through my various 22s, but I think that this SK Standard Plus ammo is the most accurate I've ever shot:

Each round has lube on it.

That's good stuff. For about the same price Wolf Match is a good choice.

From there it gets pretty specific to the gun. Various flavors of Eley. I like Eley Club a lot and it does not break the bank.

Those are my favorites but I also shoot whatever I can get. I prefer to stay away from Remington. But that's just me. Of course I have more Remington in my stash than anything else. :envy:

I like Fiocchi HV RN a lot, maybe better than MiniMags, which used to be my favorite. CCI Select is also very good, but very hard to find.

I've shot some of the fiocchi before out of my Ruger American Rimfire, and its quite good.

However, with the SK stuff, I was pretty much able to put 10 rds through almost the same hole at 25 yds.

Wolf extra match shoots well in my savage

lsw · Feb 17, 2015

I get good results with Wolf match too. Nowadays the question should be more like "What's the most accurate ammo you've NEVER shot?

kenpo333 · Feb 17, 2015

i used to like Lapua Match .22lr.Seem pretty accurate to me.

Any experience with the SK Magazine ammo?

Each round has lube on it.

Every .22 round in existence has lube on it. SK Standard is about middle of the pack when it comes to .22 LR accuracy. And what I mean it it is more accurate than most of the regular .22 LR ammo you find around here, but in fact testing shows that SK High Velocity groups better than SK Standard but neither are as tight as CCI Standard and none of these are close to the various Eley and Lapua match ammo. While most rimfires will shoot some ammo better than others in general most of the data from the following tests still tends to apply the majority of the time.

Lapua/Wolf TM. Its a little low on the fps but gets me the smallest groups.

Well put. Mirrors everything I've read on rimfirecentral. For everyday reliability I like CCI Mini Mags but for accuracy that won't break the bank SK Standard Plus, Rifle Match and Pistol Match work for me. Also SV ammo will almost, if not always, be more accurate than HV.

Pinecone · Feb 18, 2015

It depends on the particular firearm.

I have a Mitchell High Standard clone. I tested about 10 - 12 different rounds in it.

THE most accurate was Federal American Eagle High Speed. CHEAP stuff, at the time, $99 a CASE.

I saw CCI Select on Gunbot for the first time the other day.

My internet research and experience over just the last year had me settle on two brands: a Wolf Match Target and CCI Mini Mag.

Sundazes · Feb 18, 2015

Rem Thunderbolts.
J/K

I like WMT, CCI SV and Mini Mags.
I tell you what, the Gemtec subsonic shoots really well too.

dist1646 · Feb 18, 2015

Federal gold medal ultra match.

Jed195 · Feb 18, 2015

CCI stingers, CCI velocitors.

Mark75H · Feb 18, 2015

Photoracer said all that needs to be said.

CCI SV shoots best in the widest variety of.22's I own, but it can't cloverleaf at 100 yards like real match ammo. Eley Subsonic HP does that in my Walther KKM, but the ESSHP is no better than CCI SV in others. My Buck Mark target pistol likes something else and my 1940 Remington 510 Target Master shoots cheap Federal Match as if it was 20¢ a round.

CCI Standard Velocity in my Ruger 10/22 w/ Hammer Forged Barrel

http://www.midwayusa.com/product/84...ox-of-500-10-boxes-of-50?cm_vc=ProductFinding

I am using a price for performance ratio that I imagined all on my own in my head to come to the conclusion it was about the most accurate ammo for the money. Sure I could spend more and get more accurate, but that wasn't my goal

That said, I made that decision when CCI STD Vel was $2.59/box of 50 and readily available (some time ago)

If I were to kick it up a notch in price, the Aguila Rifle Match would be my next pick

http://www.midwayusa.com/product/59...ain-lead-round-nose-box-of-500-10-boxes-of-50

I never tried SK, tried Wolf match and was not impressed.

quickdraw17 · Feb 18, 2015

Wolf match shoots extremely well in my Savage, I have gotten consistent sub moa groups with it. Aguila Match is a pretty close second.

I've also tried the Federal Gold Medal Match. Seems to work for a lot of people, but my gun didn't like it at all.
