At the risk of sounding LIKE that cranky old guy, I'd agree^ with that sentiment exactly. I suspect like most companies, they feel they're measured more by new offerings than ensuring what they already make is available. Eley understands marketing, and the growing desire among rimfire shooters/competitors to use 22LR @ distances, and in applications it was never designed for.
I can pretty much guarantee I'll buy one box if I ever see it, but as soon as 22LR ammo creeps above about $13/50, it really needs to do something special to be taken seriously. At least for me.
Thanks for posting btw, I wasn't familiar with this offering!

I’m not sure if I just got called old or not but this made me chuckle. Honestly I’m just waiting for Eley Match to come back in stock locally I’m tired of shipping.
Picked up some federal target just for giggles the other day so I would have something to shoot.

Oh, it'll be June for Canada, it just probably won't be THIS June.
Lol my buddies doctor said something similar when he needed an MRI on his knee.
Watching bullets fly with rimfire match ammo is relatively easy. Most precise match shooters or even the higher class prs shooters can routinely see their own bullets in flight. When I first started competing i routinely called impacts before the sound was heard and many questioned how I was doing it. When I replied I watched the bullet in flight to the target, I think a lot of shooters thought I was on something until I asked if I had ever made a wrong call. Its not that hard and im in my 60s so my eyesight is nothing like the younger competitors. There are things that make it easy to see the flight but the weather and lighting conditions are the big factor. Optics placement relative to shooter position is paramount for viewing. Centerfire is so much easier with the trail compared to rimfire. Placing the target in the bottom of the optic helps greatly cuz the bullets in rimfire have such a parabolic arc at distance that it helps pick up bullet flight. I routinely watch my bullets when testing match rimfire ammo at 50 yards. Im guessing im picking them up about 25-30 yards as they are usually starting to drop into the target when im able to see them. Good technique is also paramount. Next time at the range try shooting your usual method but dryfire. If when the firing pin drops your guns moving off the aiming point your probably not going to watch bullets fly. Dont look for them at ur point of aim but above.
