I am a bit surprised. I have used SK Standard Plus as practice ammunition in all of my 22 LR rifles ever since I discovered it 10 or more years ago. Now that I am no longer interested in competition shooting, the difference I get with SK Standard Plus, as compared to Eley Match or other expensive brands is minor enough to have me buy a case of SK Standard Plus.One of the more interesting rifles I happened into over the years is a Stevens 417 that was rebarreled in 22 LR. The barrel has MS Risley marked on it. Turned out that Mr. Risley worked with Donaldson and Lovell to develop the R2 Lovell Cartridge - the "R" standing for Risley. Risley made the chambering reamers for the 22 R2 Lovell. It seems he made his own barrels as well. The rifle appears to have been done in the 1930s give or take and it still shoots. It did well with CCI Std Vel and RWS Target but not with SK Std Plus which surprised me enough I tried it twice. I do want to take it out sometime and try Eley Match and RWS R50 to see what it does but in any case, the old girl still shoots.

No problem. They always wear it or put it on after they get their rifles set up on the bench. Pretty sure they just don’t have it on yet. A lot of times they like to set up and do a few dry fires with snap caps. Pretty sure that’s what they were doing. Thanks for your concern.
