It's Eley Match. Comes in a black labeled box, so commonly referred to as Eley Black

I will not be using the US Power Points on critters I think.
The pic below is of 3 random from Oz on the left and 3 from US on the right, I don't know what the crusty looking snot on the Yankee ones is, but it's very inconsistent, some hollow point cavities are full of it and some are only half full or empty.
Add this to the wild variations in weight and they're 'king useless.
I'm going to do a "Karen" today and email the results to Winchester.

A big disappointment indeed.
Sellier and Bellot are far superior in HV and subsonic, I'll use up these new ones as fowlers.
A slight digression, how are you going to trim the Aguila telephone poles evenly?

I found the same when looking for the "right" ammo for my new LA101.
One I heard of but can't find was Remington Thunderbolt but after trying their subs, didn't bother.
Most brands were OK, Sellier was very good, Lapua like a laser and every Winchester variety were very poor in accuracy, build and consistency.
Time for ADI to step up.

WINCHESTER SILVERTIP SEGMENTING 22LR 37GR HP
Being Winchester their accuracy is no doubt as pedestrian as all the rest but I like the idea of a segmenting subsonic

It's available in Sydney shops, but Winchester says on it's page that its load is optimised for short barrels and PD.
Thanks for that list, I'm going to try to hunt some down.
The nearest gun shop has a range limited by the customer base so it might be a road trip.

That would be nice, hope you're neighbour's egg beater isn't an R34, fuel might not be the biggest worry.

Perhaps I should send these to Winchester
