22 LR Target Ammo - 100 yard

Does anyone have a recommendation for 22 LR target ammo that works
well at 100 yards ? I am shooting a 1710 Anschutz. I have tried
Eley Club (orange), Eley Silouette, RWS Match Rifle, Lapua Master and some others. Naturally, the wind factor becomes more prominent than at 50 yards. There is a 48gm product from Lapua I have on order. If you have opinions on ammunition viable at 100 yards... viable meaning very accurate and consistent, your inputs would be appreciated.

Thank you !

    I honestly think that your best bet is to just group every different brand you can get a hold of, and whichever one shoots best, buy in bulk.

    I just wish I had a dollar for every gun I wanted, then I'd be a rich man.

    I would try federal Match Target with 40 grain bullet.


    Good Luck.

    I shoot bulk Remmington 22lr ammo in all of my 22's. I can notch a jack rabits ear at 100 yrds with this ammo in my Winchester Mod 52c.

    You know, I have a little Marlin 795 .22lr, it was $99.99 new at Acadamy Sporting Goods store, and I shoot the cheapest stuff around I could find. Federal Lighting. And I could PROBABLY punch a quarter at 25 paces freehand with that puppy.

    "Eley Tennex"...have used it in my HB Winchester 52B and Volquartsen Sniper 10/22...in fact we were shooting flies at 100 yards out of the 10/22 (w/20X scope). Sprinkled a little Coke on the back of a target, let it dry and the flies will come right for the dried surgar...you know you've made a hit when there is bug blood around the bullet hole...the other option is to use a rim thickness gauge and grade out the fliers in each box of ammo....here is a link. Search for Rim Thickness gauge by Neil Jones GAU-RAG-22

    here is another link to the same thing...
