"Affordable" Eley Match for my CZ?

[fmj355]

Over the last few weeks I have tried about a dozen brands of target .22 ammo in my CZ 2-E. I am trying to get my rifle shooting back up to par after years of pistol and shotgun so out came the old CZ.

I was pretty happy about some of the more reasonably priced ammo like some Eley Standard which I picked up in Vancouver for $5.99/50.

I was happy until I tried the Eley match. Damn. I had to shoot a couple more groups because I thought the first one was a fluke. All of the other ammo shoots groups.....some very nice groups, but groups. The Match shot a hole......a hole that just got slightly more ragged. Damn. This stuff is $13.99/50. Damn. That is $0.28 per shot. With a friggin .22! I know it's all relative, but why couldn't it like the cheap stuff a little better?

Anyway, whining aside, it is lovely ammo for this gun, so I guess I need a source. I picked it up at a store I thought was a sight sponsor but I cannot see their banner right now so I won't mention them. It was the only box on the shelf and I didn't see any more at any other store and I think I tried them all.

Any help, anyone?

Don; Google North Sylva. They sell your black box Eley for a bit less than you are paying, and will ship reasonably. If you can find a Lapua match ammo that shoots as well, we have a sponsor on here, Peter Dobson, who can supply that stuff. Regards, Eagley.

Try some of the Lapua from Peter Dobson. I ordered some and tryied it in my Savage Mll and WOW. 50y 10 shot groups cover them with a dime. Did the same as you had to do it a couple more times because I thought it was a fluke.
