Went to the range last night with some of the target ammo I bought for my new Hammerli pistol and decided to run it through the 10/22 Target Tac (VLEH) and see what groups I got.

50 yards, factory bipod, some padded block of wood as a rear rest.

And the Champ:

Factory besides the Millet TRS-1 and a Volq auto bolt release, approx. ~6.4k rounds through it.

LOTS of rushed shots and shooter error, but I think the highlighted groups show what the ammo can do in this rifle.
 
Every 22lr that I own except one prefers SK Standard Plus over the RWS Championship Edition. The one exception is my Volquartsen that shoots the Standard Plus decently, but absolutely loves the RWS. A friends 10/22 target shoots the SK loads like yours, but hates the RWS.

RWS Championship Edition 10 shot groups at 50 yards with my Volquartsen.

I'm not at all surprized that SK took the high ground here.
That's what I also feed my Hammerli pistol. An older Model 150 single shot here.

I just got an X-ESSE after a 5 month wait, put 1150 rounds through it, but haven't run any of the target grade ammo through it yet.

The lapua is IMPRESSIVE almost 1/2 MOA from a stock 10/22 is amazing in my eyes.

Yes, my sporter stainless steel 10/22 with a few mod's to the trigger group only, it also prefers the SK with the factory barrel. About as good as your results I think.
But a close friend has one of the newer Ruger 10/22 Deluxe models made in short production runs. His shoots it kind of poorly under the same conditions. You never know what is best in your pistol/rifle, until to try them at the range.

Cheers!
