Beware the ammo with "long" cases. Longer than run of the mill 22 ammo, that is. In one of my rifles the rifling at the leade, actually engraves the case :shock:

Depending on the purpose of the rifle I would also try some of the mid-tier Eley - Match, Edge, Club, Sport, etc for precision.
After trying those I would just try everything else you can find.
Even the cheap bulk stuff, sometimes it can be surprising.

I use CCI-SV for RMS (a bit cheaper but still accurate), my mate uses SK-SP (better quality but a little more pricey) Eley club is also good in em.
At what point does lack of maintenance become patina?

This is my lithgow at 25 yards. Using the CCI mini mags.Was testing a few different brands. By far the best on the day.

These guns are tact drivers. .

For target my lithgow likes SK match or any of the eley types, sport/ club etc.

For hunting i pretty much just use minimags

Try the SK Magazine as well - it's the low end of the line, but honestly, that low end can outshoot some of the more respected lines easily ... just my $0.02
