When I became interested in rimfire benchrest, I bought about 20 different brand/weight/velocity packs to test and was surprised
by the variation in group size and POI between the tests.All done off the bench,in weather as close to ideal as possible.Some of
the big names shot terribly,and I arrived at Fed Premium Gold #719 and SK Rifle Match,both will shoot minute of angle if I do my bit.
I did not try the more exotic match ammo,simply because It is too costly. The rifle is a '67 Brno M2
Rimfires are peculiar beasts and finicky about what shoots well in individual rifles,these tests stopped my usual process of buying a
box of whatever for a trip to the bush,if you want to hit what you aim at,test and find the best for YOUR rimfire.
Be safe, BB
