22RF ELR Ammo?

[243Mendoza]

What brand 22LR ammo do competitor use for 600yd ELR?

That's a fringe question. But here's some info you might find helpful: https://sites.google.com/site/thelongrangerimfireclub/home/longrange-rimfire-ballistics

If I were to attempt this (IMO, ridiculous, novelty) sort of shooting, I would, as always, use the ammunition that was most accurate in my rifle. I would test my ammo for this at 50y and 100y. Then learn the ballistics and the wind.

I realized I never really answered the OP.
I have only shot out to 450yds. I recently have been focusing on 300yds on paper targets working on wind reading.
My best results have come from SK Long Range Match, and SK Pistol Match. Lapua Center-×, and SK Rifle Match very close (and could be lot differences)
Cutting Edge Bullets are (is??) Working on heavier, longer, monometal bullets for .22lr. Specifically for elr
There's been some discussions over on Long Range Only

I’ve been using handloaded ammo with my Badlands Precision bullet. Been having good results in testing to 700

I made up some of these a few years back just to screw with the guys I shoot with. Half of them called BS but the other half, well lets just say they pounded some projectiles out of barrels.

SK Pistol Match! Interesting using pistol ammo!

I just happened to have a bunch of the Pistol Match, and tried it at 50yrds. It shot really tight, consistently.
So as I moved out longer, I gave it a try, and got great results.
One of my shooting buddies uses Lapua Pistol King in his Anschutz

If you want to shoot some .22ELR I would say you may want to contact Scott Taylor and Defense Solutions LLC.

Scott has been working with a solid bullet maker and has a bunch of 1-6 twist Bartleins in stock. He has been shooting them from 3-700 yards, and also has a target he made hits out to 1,064 (can't remember exactly?)

I shot WW SuperSilhouette 45g back in the day. We only shot to 200. I still have a bunch of that ammo.

But he can’t get bullets I can. About to start optimal barrel length testing with a 1-5.75” barrel I got from Jeff J. Start at 27 and lose 1” at a time to find where peak speed is.
