Don't knock it till you try it.last month's 1st place finisher said:Monthly Rimfire Match? I'm going to have to check that out!

I disagree, didn't you use a .22LR, whereas I had somewhat of an advantage (@ 100yds. anyway) with my .17HMR.In fact, that should be your win Maverick!
I had all month to produce a decent target.
You did it in a few days with your 93!
It is very good ammo, certainly worth a shot. I must admit that I like Remington CBees (which are not made by Eley), but they still aren't the most accurate. Fair hunting accuracy, but darn if they don't open up beautifully for a subsonic .22LR (in fact I know of no other .22LR, be it CB, subsonic, standard vel., high vel., or hyper V, that expands better, reliably, and with good weight retention).I've got a box of Eley that I'm going to try sometime soon.
Heard it shoots very well in some rifles.
If that's the case, I hope that doesn't mean you won't be competing with it.I has somewhat of an advantage (@ 100yds. anyway) with my .17HMR
I'm looking forward to trying that stuff!Wolf Match is good target ammo that is affordable
I don't know if I will in the extended 50/100yd. matches (which will give me the opportunity to crack out the 10/22 amongst others), but I definitely plan to use it in the 25/50yd standard range matches (where it affords no discernible advantage over competing rimfires).If that's the case, I hope that doesn't mean you won't be competing with it.
Just buy SK instead (which is available most of the time), they make Wolf match (SK Standard Plus = Wolf Match & SK Rifle Match = Wolf Match Extra). It tends to be a little cheaper to boot!I'm looking forward to trying that stuff!
It always seems to be sold out.
Maybe there's a reason for that?
Most likely! I've heard those hillbilly's shoot pretty good!Who was that? Some ignorant hillbilly I'm sure

I believe the "standard" value for mach I (at least in the shooting community) is 1080fps, but honestly that value can change quite a bit due to temperature, humidity, and density altitude. Most SV .22LR falls above 1100fps IME.Maybe I'm missing something on the SV ammo speed. CCI SV is slightly below supersonic at 1070 FPS. Winchester goes 1150 FPS and the speed of sound at sea level is 1140 depending on the temperature and humidity. The way I understand it some SV is supersonic and some of it isn't. That's the bottom line AFAIK. It varies from brand to brand and according to conditions.
That's interesting; haven't heard anything about them producing any ammo for SK...perhaps they are the importer. Just looked at mine and it says Lapua too.I've got a box of SK Pistol Match ammo.
It says Lapua on the box.
Untrue. Since most .22LR loads, particularly target loads, reach peak velocity in 12-14", burn rate is irrelevant. Barrel length alone has no bearing on raw accuracy. Unless you are a top level benchrest competitor who is picky about at what point in the bullet's rotation it exits the muzzle.Barrel length has an effect on bullet performance as well
Actually some have found a .22LR bullet to slow after about 16in. of bbl or so. I don't remember all the details (I wish the folks at Ballistics By the Inch would start testing rimfire cartridges and clear this up), but I imagine that the ammo was standard velocity ammunition, even then a barrel over 20-22in. isn't likely necessary for complete burn on hyper velocity fodder. That said, I wouldn't trade the 24in. tube on my Stevens 87D for anything...may not be efficient, but for me it's just right.So you believe a bullet fired from a 14" barrel would have the same velocity and trajectory as another bullet from the same lot fired from a 28" inch barrel.

I'll have to check that out, sounds like it may be a worthwhile addition to the collection.There's a book by Mark White, 'The Ultimate Ruger 10/22 Manual and User's Guide'.
Yep, it may look a bit funny, but the Tac. Sol. bbl on my 10/22 is only 16.5in (and less than an oz. for each inch!).I've seen lots of their rifles that weren't any longer than 16".
