Odd thing about CCI .22s (any of them) but they are always tight to chamber in my cz452? May be its the copper wash?

I was given a box of Thunderbolts and got 20 failures out of 50 and those that did fire were all over the place! Blazers were equally apalling to the point i gave 350x of them away!
Most accurate through my CZ 511 (semi-auto) are RWS subs with Winchester at a close second.

I use RWS R50 in my match rifle, I have found it to be the most consistant from batch to batch.
Many people believe that Eley Tenex is the best thing since sliced bread mainly because its about the dearest @ £195 per 1000, I have been and batch tested there several times over the years and If you see the massive vaiations in group sizes between the batches you never touch it with testing first!

I've been using RWS Target Rifle ammo for the last 1000 rounds or so, and its pretty consistent.
Not sure really if I've been getting flyers... but my first season average of 95.5 is not bad, i wouldn't put it down to the ammo... I did see a vast improvement from going to eley club to eley match when I first started...
Now I'm trying to compromise between price and consistency - RWS Target Rifle fits that bill - I did briefly try center-x too, that was quite good, but again, I'm still new to the sport, so I'm not sure how many are flyers and how many are positional...
In my black rifle I shoot CCI Minimags - finally got it sighted in the other day with a 20x scope on and was knocking spots out of the 10 spot card at 25 yards... seems fairly good...
I wasn't being consistent enough with shooting to see if there were flyers though...
another member in my club claimed his HK416 .22lr didnt like minimags... So far I haven't seen why :./

Have you tried Magtech? - I found they fed and shot really sweet in my 511 (Dirty though!)

I shot some .308 180 Magtech factory loads a few weeks ago, it was interesting and totally unrelated :)

Honestly...I shoot Tenex because it is the most consistent thru my cz452.

Drop a stinger in someones box of subs without telling them and note the reaction!
The anticipation is killing!
