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.
