It shoots very well in my Rugers, on par with CCI Standard Velocity, but more expensive. Discontinued now I believe.

I have not used it. It is a lower cost competition ammo, sometimes used in 3P competition.

What are you going to use it for? Do you already have some or want to buy some?

I have about one-brick left but haven't seen much around.
Rebel Gun Works still have more than a case left though.

It's very good stuff in my Rugers, but too expensive when CCI SV equals it in accuracy.

Have a brick that I started using today in my Anschutz 64 single shot. It shot more consistently than CCI Std and Eley Std. I've found the new CCI Std had gone to s**t compared to the older stuff. CCI say it was only a packaging update but a lot of ISSF shooters in the local club are spewing as it seems there had been more than just a packaging change!
I've bought the last two bricks of Edge from the guy at the club, and will just use it for local rimfire benchrest comps.
Nd to chase up some other stuff to trial as well.

Interesting, I'm not into my last case of CCI SV just yet, but getting close enough to be ordering another case very soon (I like to keep an unopened case on hand). I'll have to do some comparison testing.

I like the the box. Much better than the usual Eley box. Other than that it shot well. But a bit expensive for me. I think it was $17 per 50 when I tried a box

Good luck with it, you may not be happy with the results of the new stuff!

Yeah, $22 a box is a bit stiff for discontinued ammo that is pointless to trial in your rifle. Ok if you have been using it and running low, but that's gonna sting.
I paid $100/500 as the club prez sourced this through a different supplier and paid a more realistic wholesale price.

Wow! I was paying $200 a brick two years ago. Great price.

No affiliation and no idea if still current but I've just come across this - Eley Edge clearance - $13.95 a box!
I was excited till I realised this mob is in Brisbane. Pity my annie really likes the stuff.

At that price I would ask them for a shipping quote on a case, Rebels only charge $60 freight on ammo. That only pushes the price from $14 a box up to $14.55 a box.

Funny that the 3gt clearance page shows previous price as $23.95 but their main ammunition section still has it listed at $19.95.

$13.95 is a good price though, and they are a useful benchmark for low prices on ammunition.
