    Has anyone used this ammunition? At ~$0.07 per round it’s pretty competitive on price. But, with a case minimum order, it is a bit tough to “taste test” as is generally recommended for 22lr rifles. So, have you used it? What rifle? What distance? Groups? Fliers? Reliable feeding and extraction? Thanks.

    Wish I had some to test and compare to all my other LR data. Since I haven't used any (yet), can't give any first hand experience.

    If you haven't already read this thread, you might find it of some interest:

    I haven't, but I gotta say, given that Eley is very much what-you-pay-for kinda stuff, I imagine this is not brilliant.

    CMP does get "deal" pricing from manufacturers, but still.

    Without reservation, if it wears the Eley name (yes, even the "Remington" Eley), it is good ammunition...but the idea that this stuff is going to be Match, or even equal to Club, is probably wishful thinking.

    I sincerely hope I have to eat my words because I dearly love their ammo.
