A few years ago a member at my range walked over and handed me a box of CCI-SV and said "try this stuff, I swear by it". It's the one ammo that almost every gun loves to eat and produce decent to phenomenal groupings. For the money, it can't be beat.
I agree 100% I’m still looking and test ammo looking for the unicorn 🦄 ammo for my rifle but when plinking with my kids and just out having fun it’s by far my go to ammo. I have a vid coming this week where between lapua Center -x and rws rifle match the Cci sv had the best sd of 8! It didn’t group as well as the rws but single digit sd’s from $3.50 a box ammo is awesome. I still need to try eley tenx but until then very impressed!
Excellent video. Shooting the first ten to foul the barrel before shooting the final group gives a better representation of what the rifle will do with that ammo. Also using good quality ammo makes for a nice video. Hopefully it will have viewers interested in trying good ammo in their guns. Subscibed.
I have shot it but not in this rifle and I have none in the ammo safe. I’ll definitely look for some to try out though! Thanks for the recommendation I’ll definitely test it as soon as I get more.
After 5/7 years of going back-and-forth to buy a 22- caliber bolt action, I settled on a cheap RAR that cost $400, and a cheap box of CCI/SV cost $4.65. Range day, I did not think too much about the cheap rifle, but, boy, was I given a surprise with five rounds @50 yards .55. I need to get some more, the cheap stuff from Wally World.
That’s great! My inexpensive xt22 still prints nice tight groups also which goes to show you don’t need the best rifle or the most expensive ammunition
I was out shooting today and at 50 yrds I hit 4 of 5 spent 22 rounds that was the end of them stuck through a 22 hole in the target try that with cci or cheap
Great vid. I have just purchased this gun and am new to the sport so know very little. Have you done a similar test at 100 yards and further? Which ammo wins at those distances?
I used to test them at further distances but there was no real interest. Everyone wants 50 yard small groups but from the testing I have done what happens at 50 doesn’t directly translate to 100 or 200. I had ammo that printed .2” at 50 that was 1.5” at 100. Past 50 you really need to look at the sd , and es numbers they really start to matter once the range is 100 or more
I also noticed you have a pic rail cover under the stock. I am worried that pic rail will be sharp and dig into my sand bag. Can you recommend what you put on? Thanks
I just went on Amazon and got a random rail cover (rubber) and cut it down to fit the bottom rail for that exact reason. That rail is just ridiculously sharp and will cause a leak in your hand or whatever else it hits so I recommend some sort of rail cover for it.
I find that CCI SV quality fluctuates depending on the batch. Some is good, some is bad. Not seen that with SK. Also found that semi auto's that are picky run way better on SK tandard plus than on CCI. Once you start shooting with Anschutz match rifles the difference between CCI and SK becomes pretty noticeable.
@@BROTUNED : overhere 1000 rounds of SK Standard is about 141 euros, CCI standard is about 110 euros.... So it's quite a bit more expensive but lucky for us not yet 2x. Nothing wrong with CCI Standard though, I still use it very regularly.
Yes for sure! I also have CZ 457 MTR and most ammo is 1 MOA or better at 50 yards. CCI-SV is 2 MOA at 100. Most German made ammo is 1 MOA at 100 yds. I have gotten a few 1/2 MOA at 100 if no wind.
No cleaning between different ammo but i do shoot a 5 or 10 foulers. I probably clean every 400 rounds and always amazed how long it takes to get perfectly clean patch …. Like 15 patches. First cold bore shot on my rifle is off 3” at 100 yds.
Same from a 16.5 royal. Tried rws rifle match, cci std, sk fn, sk s+, sk hv match, eley club, aguila super x target, norma tac, lapua center x….Sk fn, sk pms out shot the rest at 50
You don't have a rifle reasonably "fixed" in a stand. You were moving the butt around, so the comparison is not all that valid. You were a large part of the spread, and you were GOOD. But you're still a fluctuating variable in this experiment.

Hello. My favorite for rifle (Anschütz) 22 lr is RWS R50 and for pistol (Ruger Mark IV. Target) is CCI Minimag 40 gr.

Yes I agree with you, good ammo is good it’s just hard to come by where I live. Thanks so much for the subscription
Now I see why the CCI standard are so popular!
Ya and at 1/3 the price also. It’s a bit different at 100 yards and beyond but can’t be beat for the $
Have you ever shot the 325 round bulk federal auto match? My CZ 457 shoots it surprisingly well.
I have shot it but not in this rifle and I have none in the ammo safe. I’ll definitely look for some to try out though! Thanks for the recommendation I’ll definitely test it as soon as I get more.
Thanks for sharing great groups Yea lately /Winter been stamping a staple in middle of the 1”paster Cant really see it and keeps it on.

Thanks for this video especially the CCI SV. Looks real good for the price. Blessings
I did a dedicated test with cci sv if you check my video library
Cci sv is really good stuff👍👍👍.
That’s what all the fuss is about
I was out shooting today and at 50 yrds I hit 4 of 5 spent 22 rounds that was the end of them stuck through a 22 hole in the target try that with cci or cheap
Pistol match is the best for me to in my 457 but the Yellow in my ruger mark 2😎

great vid! sure hard to make a call which SK is best… gotta love cci sv! i just need to find the SK that’s the most consistent!?! cheers
I just started using better ammo spent my life shooting bulk ammo and had no idea that 22’s could be so accurate and fun
i’m heading that way. thinking i’ll order some RWS. nobody has SK or Eley at the moment. that stuff impresses me and, price isn’t outrageous!
Ya still reasonably priced basically double the price of Cci sv
I find that CCI SV quality fluctuates depending on the batch. Some is good, some is bad. Not seen that with SK.

Oh yes 100% but the price is also 2x more expensive I just use cci to plink around and use the higher end ammunition for target shooting
@@BROTUNED : overhere 1000 rounds of SK Standard is about 141 euros, CCI standard is about 110 euros.... So it's quite a bit more expensive but lucky for us not yet 2x. Nothing wrong with CCI Standard though, I still use it very regularly.
Here cci sv is about $6.50 a box and Sk standard is $11.99
have t=you tried cci standered velocity at 200 and 3000 yards?
I have at 200 yard but not 3000 yet the video will be coming within a week or two.
@@BROTUNED lol that was a written mistake 300 i want to say
Ya I know ha ha just messing with you! Cheers
Video is live today
I’m assuming 50 yards to target
Yes sir this was 50 yards. It’s amazing how different the results are at 100 and beyond
Yes for sure! I also have CZ 457 MTR and most ammo is 1 MOA or better at 50 yards. CCI-SV is 2 MOA at 100. Most German made ammo is 1 MOA at 100 yds. I have gotten a few 1/2 MOA at 100 if no wind.
That’s very good! Do you clean the bore before you use different ammunition?

Ok because on my Center fire rifles I clean after about 600
Semi auto seems great
Ya it definitely shoots
I have a Belgian rifle and can't find its name. Anyone who knows that tell me. Thank you
The video is on my channel
Pistol match.......my 457 loves it
Yes mine as well. Almost all sk shoots fairly well
Same from a 16.5 royal. Tried rws rifle match, cci std, sk fn, sk s+, sk hv match, eley club, aguila super x target, norma tac, lapua center x….Sk fn, sk pms out shot the rest at 50
That’s the stuff I’ll stock up on also
It's cold out side
Yes it sure is ha ha cheers

I'm your 89th thumbs up. From Florida!

I agree
Or I ment to say cheap bulk ammo it won't happen I don't think.

I’ll have to try
