'Remington' Eley-made .22 ammo

Indeed!
Lot # of my ammo: 3113-30039
My rifle will be the 'Synthetic' model with a stock patterned after the CZ 557. I couldn't hack the Euro stock designs and the 'American' models were long gone.
It will have a tapered/threaded 'pencil' barrel but I have 20" 'Varmint' barrel coming for it. We'll see which barrel performs .....
I will be doing position shooting and using a bipod. The only time I'll bench it will be for initial sighting in.

I bought four bricks of Remington Eley Match ammo last year. It was well-priced, but the lot I received was some of the worst-shooting match ammo that I've ever tried. I have no desire to shoot what I have remaining.
Of course there are different lots of ammo and you might get some really good stuff. Not all lots shoot with the same results.

Cheers guys! My custom CZ is the most accurate rifle I've ever shot, similar results with most quality ammo.A whole lot of vertical there, Grau, tighten that up and most of those groups would be pretty good based on the horizontal. Classic symptom of your rifle not "liking" the ammo. Might be worth revisiting once you get yourself sorted out for using a tuner. Too bad you're so far away, it'd be interesting to see what my CZ does with it.
I bought a case of that ELEY/Remington ammo, and it shoots "lights out" in my 40x and my Suhl 150
My M37 Remington does not like it quite as well, but still is not shooting as badly as Grauhanens lot.

Perhaps a tuner could tame to some degree the results my Remington Eley Match ammo produces. I found it to shoot similarly in all the Anschutz rifles I used last year. A different lot could well have better results.
Two examples below show the results typical with other rifles, first a 2013 and next a 1907.

Yeah, see, much tighter on the vertical in your other rifles, but you're right, there is a horizontal component that's not great. A tuner on your 1913 would realistically produce similar results as you've just shown above, maybe just a tad tighter on the vertical. Unfortunately, nothing can really be done about out-of-spec rounds that just want to wing off on their own trajectory

I bought the last 5 bricks at Tesro after trying some from lot #04068. Fantastic ammo! Groups tight at all distances in my Sako Quad Range.
There are certain lots of ammos that just won't shoot well, no matter the rifle. Some rifles may shoot it a little better or worse, but lousy ammo is still lousy ammo, and it's worse when it costs what this ammo did. It's hard to imagine a rifle that would shoot my particular lot of ammo well. When I saw how it shot, I chalked it up to being too good a price to be true and that there was a reason the dealer (not Tesro) promoted it to me when I asked about other ammo availability.
Remington contracted for three varieties of Eley that I am aware of . . . Club Extra ($866.80) Match ($1,758.90) and Target Rifle ($746.90).
The prices are indicative of quality.
All are pretty well branded to coincide to the Eley line. Match is the only one that shows the velocity and the lot numbers use the same Eley identifiers.
MATCH uses the EPS bullet design and the other two a typical round nose design.
The three lots that I tested with a velocity of 1062 fps all performed differently. The lot that performed best had one 10-shot group over 1" at 100 yards.
Another never met the 1" standard and testing was abandoned after three groups. I currently have over 5000 rounds of this lot number.
On a competition day at a local club, 6 ten-shot groups averaged .77 and the largest group was .91.
Until we know exactly which variety the OP bought . . . the jury is still out. BTW "eagleye" bought the MATCH with a velocity of 1059.

It's worth noting that Eley made many different lots of this Match ammo. Since the majority of lots will have an average MV in the 1050 fps - 1080 fps range, more than one lot might have 1059 fps printed on the box as the average Eley obtained in their test rifles. Not all lots with the same average MV can be expected to shoot the same.
Well Im not Einstein and never said I was, but ,as of late the quality of rimfire ammo sucks the big one LARGE. The worst part is that it doesn't matter if its $300 a brick or $125 or anywhere in between. It all seems to suck.When I can shoot consistently tighter groups with SK Standard plus than Lapua Center X or Exact or any of the other high end crap it starts to make a guy wonder. Im getting to the point of just selling all my rimfires other than my Dlask Kidd which will now outshoot my really expensive bolt guns until I can find another lot of whos to guess. Sad when $75 a brick ammo outshoots what is suppose to be match!!! Before someone responds, I buy ammo in cases not bricks which really sucks when you spend many thousands and its JUNK to put it mildly. Why is it we could get better ammo on a regular basis twenty or thirty years ago and yet the equiptment is so much more advanced than it is today. Maybe we should see if CHINA can do better F--K
Thirty years ago the front and back sights and the target's bullseye were all in perfect focus and even cheap ammo could find its way there. Nowadays targets seem to have fake fur or something on them making them look fuzzy, and we have to demand the ammo be that much better to make up for it.

I thought it was my reticle but you say it's the targets , okay .
With irons id concur as im prehistoric but im lookin thru optics in the 4K range so its not my eyes. The ammo today is mostly junk and anybody that's serious about accuracy knows what im talking about. Prices go skyward and quality goes satanically downward in a large way. Its not my gun cuz theyre all giving me the same results even with skilled shooting friends shooting them to prevent my belief of being a legend in my own mind. We are all paying large for JUNK
