More shooting updates. Eley Target shot very well in the last outing. I pick up more Target, Club, and Edge. I shot a total of 45 - 5 shot groups, at 50 yds, off of bi-pods and rear bag on a bench. Conditions were foggy, cool, very little wind.
Club shot a 15 group agg. of 0.3171" small group 0.201" large group 0.479"
Target shot a 11 group agg. of 0.3207" small group 0.229" large group 0.440".
Edge shot a 19 group agg. of 0.3437" small group 0.243" large group 0.547"
The Edge was a older lot, it did not have the flat point like the new stuff, maybe the new stuff would shoot better. Edge is nearly twice the cost of Club, so I am going with Club.
Club shot the best, by only having 2 groups over 0.4". Target was next with 3 groups over 0.4". I thought Edge would be the best, but it had 4 groups over 0.5".
A few weeks ago Target shot very well at 220 yds. Too foggy to shoot past 50 yds. today. I will updated when I can shoot at longer rangers.

Try some SK Pistol Match. You might will sell your Eley Club.
I have seen SK Pistol Match out shoot good Eley. Now I ain't no expert measurer. But I do know that Bic ink pen covers easily all 5 shots. So let the peanut gallery take that in before they gripe.
The peanut gallery has arrived.
All I was doing is telling the guy cheaper ammo that shot the best. But thanks for the comments. And what better way to show them so they can see for themself.

I tried some Lapua Pistol King, it shot very well, but it is $13 a box. I want to try some SK ammo, I will get some Pistol match when I get it.

Make sure you buy SK Pistol Match and not SK Pistol Match Special.
SK Standard Plus hasn't shot near as well as the SK Pistol Match. Just throwing that out there.

How well does the SK pistol Match AGG with multi. groups? I shot a total of 45 groups with the Eley ammo. Total agg. was 0.3271 for 45 5-shot groups at 50 yds.

I can't say I have measured 45 5 shot groups in a row with it. But what I can say is I can shoot some groups at 100yds out of my Kidd barrel 10/22 that a dime will cover all 5 shots. At 50yds I can typically shoot .2's or less with SK Pistol Match. I can shoot groups with cheap CCI sv ammo that would rival that Club.

That sounds good about SK pistol Match. My guns love CCI SV. I have shot smaller groups with SV, but the club will out shoot it.

RWS-50 at 109 yards... Savage MK-II (cost me $240 Canadian loonies, new). Eley Match is almost as good as the RWS-50.
The flyer was the last shot (of course). Adjusted my position after the 4th shot
, I don't know why I had to do it.
What I'm trying to say.... I don't mind paying a premium for the better ammo if it shoots like this.
