Ammo question ( crossposted on youth as well)

Post by jmlpa »

We normally use CCI sv , but we cannot get a supply for practice.
The following is available locally, I am not sure if it is worth using? WE shoot mostly Anschutz 1903 .
Magtech 22lr 40gr Stand Vel
Fed 22lr Auto Match HV

I also use CCI SV (00032 or 00035) in my college and youth programs. I have had to go with buying it on auction sites to get the amount that I need. If the price gets too high I go with Eley Target, when it is available. Also will use SK Match Target if I can find it. I basically am in continuous buying mode to assure that I have enough. I get very uncomfortable if I don't have at least a 2-3 year supply on hand.

Don't know anything about Magtech.
I won't use HV ammo for anything due to the sonic crack when fired (on our indoor range) and the higher felt recoil.

I picked up some Magtech and found it to be excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to use it myself, but limited supply and my CCI coming in....nah.

One of the programs I work with shoots exclusively at 50 feet outdoors, and we've had very good results with the Federal Gold Medal HV, but we've never tried the AutoMatch. We're outdoors, though, so noise isn't the concern that it can be inside, nor do we have to worry about electronic target function or backstopping issues.

We have used AutoMatch and found it to be every bit as good as the newer CCI SV. If you get lucky you can pick it up at WalMart for less than 20 bucks. A few other LGS have it also.

I am using the Aguila SV and find it very accurate.
I agree that Eley Target is a good practice ammo at a slightly higher price.
Call Champions Choice and speak with Chuck, let him know you are a junior shooting club,
He gets regular deliveries of CCI SV.

Champions Choice is no longer ordering from CCI as they have only filled 2 orders for them in a year. They are offering rws, wolf, SK, Eley

One of the orders was one million rounds.
