Need some .22 Match Ammo Near Sac.

[hylander]

Anyone got a line on some Match ammo somewhere near Sac or Roseville.
I just need a box or maybe two for testing my new KIDD barrel.
All I have is Win. 555 and CCI Mini-Mags.
They test great @ 25yds. but go to 50yds. and the groups really open up.
Here they are @ 25yd.
However they open to 1" to 1.5" at 50yds.

You need standard velocity ammo at and above 50 yards.

Did you have a particular match brand in mind (Eley, Lapua, RWS, Federal, Wolf, SK, etc)?

Maybe match ammo will help, I don't know because i have never used it. Two other choices would be to measure every round and sort them by rim thickness or buy another gun.

Using walmart 555 hp 36gr junk ammo I can hold sub 3/4" at 100yds in gusting wind.


I have never fired the off the shelf $350 CZ at 25yds but it would shoot a one hole cluster with ANY ammo.

Next time I am going to shoot at 150 - 200yds. I think 25yds groups do not show the potential of the gun.

I picked up some Win SuperX at the Sportsman Warehouse in Rocklin.

Sportsman's Guide has some Eley ammo at a decent price. 50 round box - $9 for the Eley Club, $10 for Eley subsonic, and $16 for Eley Match.

Sportsmans Warehouse *might* have some. Before the Great Ammo Panic of 2013, they carried quite a bit of Eley match. Give 'em a call perhaps.

Not really, just something accurate at 50yds.
I check Sportsmans all the time and have yet to find any

If you ever get down to the Salinas area I have some partial boxes of all kinds of match grade ammo. brands include Eley/Remington, lapua, Wolf, Fiocchi, and CCI Green Tag and I also have 3 kinds of RWS, Eley, Federal Ultra match, Federal 711B, SK, CCI Standard vel.the list goes on, all in full boxes. I have it left from some ammo testing I did on my Savage MKII BV. Price will be what I paid for it depending on brand/type.

I shoulda bought a CZ... I could've saved some time and money!

Have you been checking behind the counter? That's where they keep all of the rimfire ammo (of any caliber) nowadays.

Yep, and I know a few of the guys and ask, but it is always gone before I get there

Sportsmans in Roseville only had Win Super-X and Federal bulk last Thursday. This morning I scored the last three boxes of Federal Match grade 40gr 1200fps at Pleasant Grove Walmart for $18.97/325.

Looks like stuff is coming back bit by bit.
