Any recommendations for the cheapest ammo that can hold the 10-ring of the NRA 100yd smallbore target? This ammo will be used for practice. Tenex is too expensive for practice and I am not a regular smallbore competitor.

Does the CMP sell this grade of Aguila?TOPPREDATOR said:i've found aguila golden eagle match rifle to be just short of wolf and sk at half the price, about 32.00 a brick
Is the Match EPS, the black box ammo? This stuff is still expensive but not as outrageous as Tenex.rayjay said:Match EPS is cheaper. They brought in some Club EPS but I think they discontinued it.
I'll probably buy a box of the SK/Wolf, and equivalent Eley and RWS from Bruno since he is nearer to me but he no longer sells Aguila.German Salazar said:Steve, yes, that's it - thanks, I couldn't remember the name. It's the same ammo with different labeling, even the price is the same to the penny (at Bruno's) so buy whichever you find with equal confidence.

Joe, I've found the Aguila Super Extra inadequare for 100yd.JoeM57 said:Aguila Super Extra, Aguila Golden Eagle Target, Eley Sport...
I have found all three of these to give very good accuracy for the price range they are in. I like the Eley Sport the best.
Great info. It seems that Aguila Match will work at 100yd.TOPPREDATOR said:i've found aguila golden eagle match rifle to be just short of wolf and sk at half the price, about 32.00 a brick

Joe, what is your average score for 10 shots on the 100yd target? By 'adequate", I meant that 10 shots will go within the 10ring on a no-wind day with an occasional 9.JoeM57 said:steve_podleski said:Joe, I've found the Aguila Super Extra inadequare for 100yd.JoeM57 said:Aguila Super Extra, Aguila Golden Eagle Target, Eley Sport...

Most of the standard velocity ammo works for me where I live as the Speed of Sound is 1117 fps on my average (or typical) shooting days. The Aguila Super Extra goes transonic at 4 - 5 yards from the muzzle according to the Engel Ballistic Calculator. I wonder if this has something to do with why I've had good luck with it?![]()
