In your experience does it test well against the target ammunition?

I shot it some years ago when I first got my current 22LR and it didn't shoot as accurately in that rifle when put up against the target ammunition.

CCI is wonderful ammo for its price. I churn though bricks and bricks of it. However, it still has that annoying aspect though of popping shots out of the group. Have been doing a lot of 100yd grouping lately and that sorts out the seriously good ammo (and gear). Have been using an old BSA target rifle with diopter sights and a Walther Silo rifle. The BSA groups around 1.5-3 MOA with CCI std, again with the odd miscreant shot ruining the game. Using Fiocchi V320 (match ammo no longer available here I believe) I am getting groups down around .65 MOA. Not every group obviously but reasonably consistant. Not bad given my shite eyesight and metallic sights. Much depends upon the wind conditions on the day though. With the Walther my best results are with SK and strangely Fiocchi M320 which is a cheaper match ammo than their V320. @Gillie haven't tried as large a range of ammo as you but have run various RWS, SK, Fiocchi (already mentioned, the Italian stuff not the Mex), Geco, Lapua Club (tinned stuff) Winchester (mmm why did I try that). One of the worst was Federal Gold Medal which was quite expensive. When I got it home I noticed over 1/2 of the contents of the box were badly tarnished and the lube was a strange colour. Did the Yanks unload a pile of their down graded ammo on us?

CCI SV works well for me but has the occasional flyer which is frustrating when shooting silhouettes. For comp it's Lapua, but I'm almost out, then RWS which I'm def out (and Shooting Stuff aren't getting any more in until June) then CCI SV, which is cheap :-) and I blame the flyers when I miss lol.
