22 target ammo

[Johnn Peterson]

It's been more than a few years since I was involved in any serious bullseye shooting. Back then, for the rimfire course of fire I was using a Walther GSP in 22LR. The ammo of choice then that I was using was made by Lapua. What seems to be the #1 choice or preference for quality target ammo today??

Depends how serious you want to be... Lapua is still great ammo, but it's not exactly cheap!

For 'club' match (I also use a GSP), I'm happy with T22 and/or CCI Standard Velocity. I keep the good stuff for the Free Pistol.

I'm not sure about what everyone's using, but Eley is match-grade. CCI is very highly thought of. And you'd be surprised how good Federal rimfire ammo can be.

I have far less failours using Federal 525 rnd compared to Winchester..

my GSP in a ransom, cci std vel , came out ahead of fed gold

For non match grade, CCI SV is as good as it gets IMHO.

I don't like paying match grade prices.

Not at all and it's a keeper. You should've been around to see the look on the face of one of my non-shooting relatives when I answered his question on why I 'need' a cannon like that. I told him I was thinking of starting a homestead up north and I thought it would be just the ticket for clearing land and stump removal. His sence of humour is somewhat limited.

No, the reason I was looking for some decent 22 target ammo is there's a possibility of getting involved in the odd semi-formal shoots at some of the V.I.A.C.A. functions. To that end, I picked up these beauties recently, both mint, from a gentleman in Victoria. Now I'm trying to decide what kind of diet to put them on.

Couldn't resist.

Point of interest, Murray has his 500 up for sale. Same as mine except he has the original Hogue grips on his.

I just won a silver at the issf Canadian national ISSF Championships on aug 23 in calgary in standard pistol,using Lapua sk in my gsp, I buy it by the 5000 lot three at a time (sk magazine)

vastly better then Eley Standard

I also won a gold in Center fire pistol (Marksman class) using lapua 32 cal ammo.

FYI, i am grossly jealous over that medalist and M41.
