Chaps and chapesses!

Not often someone shivers up a recommendation for ammunition, but honestly, Eley may have come up with the new benchmark in rimfire ammo for the club/recreational shooter!

We are always filling the cabinets at the club with all sorts of rimfire stuff for our gallery section. Invariably, we hold Eley Sport and Eley Match for small bore target shooters and rimfire Benchrest, and use Eley Sport and whatever else for the gallery. CCI standard and mini mag and Blazer HV are the main stays there. One comment has always been to get a good level of accuracy with the reliability for the semis. Basically a cross between the Sport and the Mini Mag...

Then comes along Eley Action. In the guns tested so far, 10/22 Target, Spikes Tactical, Weirauch HW60, CZ 452 and 455 and Marlin m39 and some BSA, Feinwerkbau and Weirauch target rifles, accuracy has been really, really good. But in the semis, reliability has been outstanding!

At around £75 per 1000, it sits right in the middle of the price range of "club" rimfire. Seriously, get a box and try it. It appears very, very promising....

And it's British!

i second that our club use it and i have just supplied them with another 5000 so if your in Essex i have some available

I've been having great results with it. NSRA price is £65.00/1,000.
To think I nearly bought 'Match' when they stopped making 'Edge'. Phew.

Have they stopped Edge then? Its still shown on their web site.

I won a few hundred in some mini-rifles comps last year and its been sitting gathering dust since. I decided to 'get rid' of it in a mini-rifle practice match a week gone Monday and my 15-22 chewed through it without a single stoppage (but it normally does that any to be fair!), no complaints here! I need a round to switch to as mini-mag is getting stupidly expensive to blaze away with. I think i've still got 50-75 left so might take it down the club for some accuracy testing and if it works with my gun make the switch.

I bought 50 Eley Action subsonic ammo to try it out as I usually use CCI Standard, I will be using more of them as they are consistently more accurate than the CCI Standard

That's what they told me in the NSRA shop when I went to buy some in December.

When I went to stock up on Action on Sunday there was also a new product, 'Action Plus' (IIRC), which is apparently a little faster.

I shot the Eley Action back to back with CCI Std and the Eley worked very well and the groups were tighter.

Now if I could find a local supplier...

I'm gonna have to see what price McAvoys have it in for when next down there. I like minimag, however I want to avoid stocking different ammo for my different .22 rifles. If it really is a Jack of all trades, it's worth giving it a bash to replace the 3 different types I currently use.

McAvoys don't have it listed. Kirklees in Huddersfield have it listed for £56/1000. Good price.
