In my quest to find out what is good ammo and what is bad I've added a few others to the good list.
Federal's AutoMatch bulk pack shoots respectably, but is by no means significantly superior to standard bulk ammos. This is about on par with most of the other bulk offerings from CCI and Federal, and in my experience, better than Remington's.
Wolf Match, aka SK Standard Plus, was a strong performer. I got alot of consistent groupings out of this ammo and is probably one of the most cost effective ammunition choices on the market. To most .22 shooters this isn't a big surprise, but gives a benchmark for the other choices, and really makes paying $10+ for Eley a bit tough.
This is another German .22 product that we just happened to have on the shelf. It's RWS Target Rifle and is by no means cheap at $8 a box, but WOW ... it outshot Eley! When I shot this group I was beginning to think I got a flier and wasn't too sure where the others were going. For what it's worth ... the group is less than half the size of a dime, and it's 5 shots.
CCI's GreenTag has always intrigued me and I was pretty happy to try it out. I've seen Bulls-eye shooters shoot a fair amount of it as practice ammo so I figured it was worth trying. At around the same price as Wolf Match and the RWS I was pretty pleased with the results. It's holding it's own with the moderately priced ammos. I did notice alot of verticle stringing with this ammo though.
