It is a lot of work... but when match ammo is not available this could be a option for some folks....there is minimal financial investment... but it is time consuming.... thanks for watching..
A year later I finally found some SV by Aguila. Can't wait to try them. On hold due to weather. I'll know how fast they'll be going thanks to you. Give or take a few fps. Won't be outta a rifle like yours but my 10/22 will do.
@@wowguy3562 really appreciate that...you got me thinking about converting my CZ457 Varmint Pro back to a 22LR if this match ammo shortage continues...
Fascinating video! The results on the 50 yard were awesome for this level ammo even though the time to sort was crazy...but that's a labor of love so ya gotta do what ya gotta do. I'm guessing you could apply this approach to just about any caliber? Or do the variables get crazier on larger cartridges?
Thanks for watching and commenting…. I am not sure if this would transfer over to larger calibers… but I am assuming most folks who are serious about shooting larger calibers for precision are probably buying match ammo or reloading…
Remington 581s - 10/22 "International", "Pathfinder" Revolver. All shoot the Aguila about the best. CCI 40gn RN Mini Mag is what I use for a 25 yard ZERO. Then to change ammo re-zero the scope with that ammo. Shot a lot of FAM. Got tired of the fliers. Weighed a Box. The rounds that weighed exactly, the ones in the middle, print all holes touching. From Lightest to Heaviest there was a 1.1 grain difference. According the the Hornady Manual, .03 of a grain = 50 - 100 fps (+ or -) between rounds. For a 22 RF, That's a lot. Weighing weeds out some of the fliers. Light rounds hits Low and to the Right, the Heavy ones Hit High and to the Left. Golf Balls at 100 yards just great small game running practice. See Ya at the Range.
Interesting findings....my last brick of SK RM I had up to .004 variation. To date, the absolute best I've ever tested was Eley Match, all were within .001 and I just received a brick of Eley Benchrest Precision which was the same.
Yeah… I have settled on rim thickness in the .042 and weight of 51.5gr… when I sort SK RM for matches… I have not tried any ELEY just because they are not readily available to me…
@@socalplinker ...I had surprisingly good results with some low-end Eley recently. After a bit of searching, I found data on Rimfirecentral - SD over 30 rounds from a 10/22 was 7.3...so it made sense! Good video btw!
I have tried this ammo and it leaves a lot to be desired I don't think it is that good I kicked it to the curb and I think that is where it will stay good shooting brother keep it up Beagleman
So, help me understand just what I saw. The first couple of groups at 50 yards averaged 1175 fps or so. The last group, had the same ammo, 100 yards, chrony in the same position and they only averaged 1125 fps or so. What is it that I don't understand? Thanks!
If you looked at the 50yd sorted ammo… the Extreme Spread is just over 50FPS…it just shows the inconsistency in the ammo and so it wouldn’t be an ideal replacement for match grade rimfire ammo which would have a lower ES and SD…thanks for commenting and watching…
@@socalplinkerDoesn't make sense to me. Sme sorted ammo. The only change was the yardage but somehow you lose 50 fps with velocity being taken at the same distance from the muzzle? Can't be right!
No worries… the inconsistency of the ammo could be multiple factors… quality of the projectile that they used or the inconsistent powder volume or even how the primer paste was used… so in summary it is about their QC of there ammo… hence the price difference of match grade ammo and plinking ammo..
I imagine at some point in your research and investigation you have sorted solely by weight. How much more significant is the improvement in the group and performance between sorting both and just sorting by weight?
I actually sort by weight and rim thickness… I never actually compared weight sorted to weight sorted and rim thickness measured rounds… it would probably be an interesting video… thanks for watching…
I've got about 2dx rimfire rifles. A few will shoot with some predictability 1 inch groups at 100 with this ammo. Many will not. What you have discovered here is that ylour riflee does not like that ammo very much.
I just looked on Optics Planet and they want $22 for box of 50 Lapua Center X. Not really fair to compare. The Aguila is what it is and works for some people.
Agree… I am hoping to find cheaper ammo to practice with that would give me “reasonable” accuracy… I wouldn’t be able to afford to keep shooting my Vudoo if all I used was Lapua Center X… thanks for watching and commenting…
@@socalplinker still watching. You make some very interesting videos thanks for taking the time to do these . I know rim thickness and weight sorted does make a difference but man that was night and day . Also can’t wait to get my vudoo it’s a 360 your making it a lot easier for us new guys to not half to go through a lot of the testing to find a good fit for our new rifles
@@michaeledlin9995 That is great…I am starting a new series of videos involving a 10/22… hopefully my likes it also… thanks for watching and commenting
@@michaeledlin9995 have like a OEM Ruger or you change the barrel and other parts? Plan on trying a bolt this fall, just have a titanium firing pin, extended mag release and a muzzle brake on mine. Like to try a barrel but so many to choose from and not many reviews on different kinds of barrels.
@@lawrencehawk5179 my set up KSA bull barrel, Hogue stock, BX2 trigger, Sig Sauer Whiskey 3 3x9x40 scope. Cheap bipod. Standard velocity CCI. Learn the scope. I might change that but I am pretty satisfied with that setup. Accuracy is almost boring.
Yeah… it does kinda prove sorting rimfire makes a difference @ 50yds …. Just wished it held together a little better at 100yds… I think if I did a bigger sample the 100yds Perfomance would improve as long as the shooter does their part..
Great video. I enjoy all your videos.
Thanks for watching.. really appreciate it..
Thanks for taking the time to review that ammo. I'm looking at some for 3 bucks a box and thinking I should grab some.
That’s a great deal…. I find it to be a great plinking round… thanks for watching and commenting…
@@socalplinker Just stocked up. Optics Planet has free shipping with orders over 50
Thank You Sir! It will be good to see the rest of the series. I am glad you had some SK ammo as reference for the variations expected. 👍🇺🇸 #22aday

I used the same ammo last weekend out at 300 yards with my cz 457 mtr. I had really good luck using it, many 5 0f 5 magazines on my 16 inch gong

I can still get this ammo for 5 bucks a box! If I sort it out 50.8 shoots lights out with my cz457. Also good ammo to play games with .
That’s awesome… I like using it as practice/ plinking ammo…

So stick with the CCI Standard Velocity? Or still worth trying?
I am favoring CCI for practicing the NRL22 COF… and use the Aguila for plinking…
CCI standard for my 10 22. Dime size 50yd 10 shot groups consistently.
