.22 ammunition available

SK-JAGD

For people who missed the discussion last time around - when SK/Lapua makes .22 they basically take the ammo with one set of characteristics and every 50,000 rounds they pull a box and run it through a couple of rifles. Depending on how it does it becomes Wolf Match, or Wolf Match Extra, or various SK products. SK Magazine is the stuff that failed so it gets bulk packed. If you look at their product line and look at the velocities you can figure out they really only make a couple of kinds of ammo, it's just labeled differently.

What that means is it's super reliable (match grade primer), and has a bullet and powder and brass quality that's insanely high for anything bulk packed. And if you compete you can shoot it in practice and then swap over directly to the stuff that passed QA a little higher and have nothing change. If you don't compete... frankly probably you would never know if you were shooting one grade or another grade. Their quality control is very strict (meaning it's still much better than Federal or CCI "match" ammo) and I doubt most .22 rifles are capable of showing a difference, let alone most shooters.

Yes ... this how it works. I can tell you this ... I see a lot of .22 rifles out at the range. I can also tell you that most of them will see no difference between the match grade and the bulk Walmart stuff.

It takes $$$ and a lot of range time to get the match grade stuff to work.

Does not belong on this forum and at .18 maybe not on deals and coupons.

Well could you at least tell which forum it does belong in? I'm kinda curious now
