Most folks are having very good results with Center X, SK match, multiple varieties of Eley.
Here's some in depth info that this forum lifted from another forum.

Highly recommend sending it to the Lapua
test site. Or, going to the Colorado Springs Olympic center for Eley. It was money well spent. Plus, you'll be guaranteed ammo to purchase. Depends on your goal, It'll all shoot minute of squirrel at 50.

Has Eley opened another ammo testing center in Colorado Springs?

The only U.S. Eley testing center I know of is in Winters Tx. This is good news?

 

[moondog]

Coupe times a year I think in the Springs.
I know a couple of guys that have done it.

What do you plan on using the rifle for? General plinking, non-competitive bench shooting, hunting? Your choice of ammo should be dependent on the intended use of it.

Non-competitive bench - shooting start with CCI std vel and if it doesn't shoot well enough then move up to a mid-grade European brand, the rifle will let you know what it likes.

General plinking - it doesn't matter much about any ammo will break a dirt clod or roll a can.

Hunting - if it is for vamint a high-velocity hollow point, if it is for eating a high-velocity round or flat nose.

I shot my smallest five shot fifty yard group ever in a semi auto using a Keystone barrel that I purchased off EBay for under 150 bucks! Using Lapua Ceter X In fact I have that very rifle listed for sale on this site. I’ll most likely regret it....trust me “ Micro Groove” barrels shoot! Match barrel makers should give this some thought....

Not the same Keystone. Easy mistake to make. I think they are a pretty large seller of 10/22 barrels. I don't do anything with 10/22 barrels, but I have heard they do a good job.

I used a lot of sk standard in mine and it was very impressive. I have also tried federal high velocity match and rws and both have shot great too. Try out a few different ammunition types and find out for yourself, but you may not need to spend big bucks for it to shoot well.

 

[flatlander]

I've used several Krieger 22RF blanks on converted 40XB & V-22 repeaters, all chambered with a PTG EPS reamer. All of them are very good shooters with good lots of SK Std+ & Rifle Match or Lapua Center-X.

I was going to test a few lots of Eley Match, but feeding with the flatnose EPS bullets wasn't good, and I had the same problem with SK Flatnose. I didn't want to mess around with these barrels by putting a radius on the lower edge of the chamber, since I was getting such good accuracy results with SK & Lapua round nose ammo, so don't know how much work it'd take to get the flatnose bullets to feed, or even if it's possible to get reliable feeding with them.

Would love to see some targets shot with this barrel, please share!

Ok here is a shot group, I think 9, wind was in my face maybe 7 mph, shot at 50 yards

 

[jscandale]

Oh, come on now....that can't be my barrel that costs a whole lot less than $800+ for.....

Are you really bragging about a 3/4" group at 50 yards? Not being cynical but trying to understand your post.

Hardly, but 9 shots with a flier is not bad at all for the first group with the cheapest CCI ammo you can buy. Without the flier, it's 8 shots in a 1/2 moa, where groups are normally presented in a 5 shot group. I'm quite sure your cheerleader Moondog, who is too afraid to state his real name, will make some crap up to disparage as best he can again..... Why the antagonistic content, and so soon?

Not sure how you know that group was shot with the cheapest CCI ammo. As for the cheerleader comment, you sir are the one with the antagonistic content. I asked a simple question to which you seemed to take exception. The reason I posted so soon is that I was paying attention to the results because I was thinking about purchasing one of your barrels. Pretty sure the OP shot more than one 9 shot group and to post that one as a cherry and you to pat yourself on the back speaks volumes. Appreciate you taking the time out of your day to play the troll but I am no longer interested in dealing with you nor your company.

 

[jscandale]

The shooter of that group told me it was shot with that ammo just after he posted this.
