    RickReno told me about the Aguilla 22 match in his Pardini working well. It is Eley primed but not Eley consistant but is a good value. On my Pardini it shoots either Eley (exceptionally well) or (of all things) PMC blue box not as well as the Eley but almost as well as the Aguilla. In this gun when you shoot Federal it might as wel be a shotgun but the Federal shoots very well out of the Anschutz.

    my vote goes for eley or fiochi, both are very accurate. also consider there are different classes of each brand.

    The only ammo I have found that fires consistantly in my Ruger 10/22, Ruger 2245, and browning .22 LR, is the CCI Mini mag.

    None of the above will feed with Federal or PMC or etc...

    My vote goes for the CCI mini mag ammo. All my .22's are at their best shooting those bad boys.

    CCI STINGERS are very good

    I've got acceptable prices on CCI.

    I favour CCI Mini-Mag because it will make 1/4" 10-shot groups at 50 metres and do it consistently.

    CCI Mini-Mag can hold 1/4" groups in my Ansh?tz and CCI Stinger will open up to hold 3/4"-1" groups at the very same distance.
    So as I prefer solid ammunition, I'd vote for CCI Mini-Mag.

    Have tried American Eagle, Winchester and Remington - They are not nearly consistent in my rifle.

    Have an old old pack of Eley, those blue packs where the 50 shots were packed upside-down next to eachoder.
    Smaller packs that doesn't fill up your pocket too fast.
    They're great, still good consistency, eventhough the pack is from '68.

    Don't do anything that I've allready done - That'd be just plain STOOOOOOPID.

    All of my rifles shoot CCI mini-mag very well; however, my 10/22 absolutely loves Remington Green Tag Match Target.

    CCI Mini-mag.... for me in the CZ. Wife uses Winchester Super X in her Ruger 10/22.[8D]

    It must be right, or we wouldn't do it this way!

    In 22 target pistol like the Pardini SP or the SW41 I use cci standard velocity for practice and eley for competition.


    The cci leaves a lot of wax in the mag and makes me clean the mag too often.

    I need to get a case of Aquila because the guys in the bullseye league are raving about it.

    Ideally, Eley Tenex for my Pardini SP and Toz-35M. More realistically, I've heard the Wolf Match ammo is pretty good. I'm trying the Remington/Eley stuff. Federal 711B is pretty good, but apparently has had several failure to fires in some batches.

    Whoever said CCI stingers is on drugs.

    In my opinion you must try different ammo and evaluate for yourself. I have found what shoots well in one gun may shoot poorly in another gun.
