Dang. Eley for 35 a brick? That stuff is usually high dollar.

Never tried it but it's supposed to be really good.

Eley has a lot of good lines like their target, match, & tenex. Personally, I would be a little weary of this stuff considering its bulk packaging, meaning all the cartridge lube is constiently rubbing on other cartridges and bullets and two the price. In the $0.07/rd range CCI standard is king when it comes to performance vs cost but this is interesting.

If instructors in Texas wanted to go in on a case I would be in for a brick to bench test to for accuracy though.

This was the only thing I could find about it:

The posters were cautious, but seemed to have good results so far.


But, yeah...  Eley already has 73 varieties of .22. Why not make one more?  ;D

I just split a case with several others. I'll get you my non-evidence based opinion of it as soon as I can get out to the backyard range (darn chores and work)  :'(

Ps, the eley smells a little funny when firing. Might be the lube.

Eley does - at least the match ammo I've used.  Kind of a sickly sweet smell - smallbore matches can really reek. ;D

CWC: at what distance were those groups shot?

The funny smell is from the priming compound.

FWIW, Midway is selling Norma Tac-22 for .07/rd currently. It's one of the best I've tried in my 10/22s.

shooting was done at 90' (I have a tree planted there, a lot easier to find a repeatable position than getting the measuring wheel and going to 82' every time)  ;D
