Italian Sporting Goods presently has Federal Gold Medal at 8.99/box.

My Tikka T1X and the last Brno I had, loved this stuff, and it was very consistent between lots.

I bought my first brick to see if it would shoot well in the Brno, which it did much better than I had hoped. I used the last of it in the Tikka T1X, and it shoots very well out of it as well. The Tikka isn't as fussy as the Brno was, so I kept it as my last serious rimfire shooter.

There are other loads out there that will shoot marginally better, but not enough for my purposes these days.

davidoff, if you're shooting matches, and winning is important, then spend the extra money, but don't purchase it by the brick if you're serious about consistent accuracy. Buy several bricks or even a 5k case, if it comes that way. Some match ammo maxes out at 2500/case.

Just a suggestion of course but it would be cheaper by a couple of hundred dollars when shipping is involved on several purchases.

Out of curiosity, what match ammo comes in cases of 2500?

I think he meant $2500.00 per case of 5000.

It's been a while, but some of the Eley ammunition I used to buy came in boxes of 2500. 5 x 500

For those buying by the brick, they don't see how the seller gets the ammunition.

Most of it comes in 5k boxes, which contain ten bricks.

I'm testing right now; first day at the range with it; slightly better than TAC 22, Tac-22 is markedly better than CCI STD, which is better than all the Eley stuff I have tried. Time will tell. Rifle is a CZ 455 with a 20.5" Varmint barrel, CZ compensator etc, etc, etc. I too paid 150 but picked it up so no shipping.

Tac 22 has run quite well in most .22s I put it through.

Good luck finding them. My uncle and I are on a permanent search for them across bc and AB. Rarely find a box here and there

I do the same thing lol. I buy some every time I find them. I have a nice little stockpile of them.

I haven't had a problem finding them in the last year or so. Lots of stores showing stock right now. Epps, Prairie gun traders, Tiger arms, Reliable guns. I've been shooting lots of the CCI segmented mini mags also. Hope they put the segmented bullet in a hyper velocity round.

Meroh - Are you running a chrony on those Tac-22s ? The 'box says' 1083, while the CCI-SV 'says' 1070. I tested some CCI-SV thru my Sav-B22-FV and got a High=1069 and Low=1039. And I don't have CCI-SV thru my VMTR, but the SK-RM went H=1099; L=1080. Seems that the 'faster' bullets in Tacs might help, ESP at shorter ranges ?

Rarely will any rimfire ammo produce the velocities printed on the box. Waaay to many variables involved. Its just a generalization but Ive had subsonic ammo break the sound barrier on numerous occassions. Weather plus the gun or barrel or chamber or elevation blah blah blah not to mention the deviation from one round to the next. Pop,pop,pop,pop, BANG. Know what I mean. If its close to the number it can go higher into the supersonic relatively easily. As far as the 2500 round cases, Ive never seen anything but 5000 rounds but the 2500 price tag would be easier to swallow haha.
