Things to get for 50m target rifle challenge?

[xopher]

I just dug out my dad's olympic style target 22 rifle. Im planning on visiting the range next and see how tight i can get the groups to be. So.. i have the rifle... any idea what to get in terms of olympic match ammo?

From a bench-rested position, many ordinary 22LR rifles are able to shoot consistently through the same hole at 50m, using mainstream ammo such as CCI, Federal, and Eley. A dedicated Olympic-style 50m rifle will obviously have no trouble doing the same. The challenge lies in shooting in the standing, kneeling, and prone unsupported positions without telescopic sights.

I would recommend trying out the cheaper 'practice' ammo from Eley and Federal, before moving on to the pricier products from Eley and Lapua.

Eley Red and Black box, Lapua Midas, and a big hello to SK Standard Plus.
I have found Federal Gold Match often "wanting" in the accuracy department compared to the ones I already mentioned.
Not everyone finds this to be so, and rimfire arms can be finicky indeed.
My experience only.......
