I tried CCI SV, 3 different Eley varieties from $10-22 a box, and some S&B Canadian Match, in a fairly recent purchase. CCI SV was probably the worst of what I tried in that rifle, but it's the best in the wife's 22lr. I havent tried the $22 Eley Team in hers, but with a slightly gusting 15-20km 3/4ish value wind, I was 5/8" groups at 50 yards. I havent shot much through it yet.
Lot testing is very important with precision in mind, but CCI SV seems to be the bottom level of competition grade ammo for a lot of people. I'd use it in a pinch for the ORPS series on any target except the KYL racks which are at 25 yards. ORLS only goes out to 100 yards, typically with a 6" round plate out that far.
I'd use them for gophers as well.
NRL22 events, shooting 200+ yards, I'm using Eley Team or better. I can't find any SK locally, but I want to try that as well. Even Long Range Match seems to go for $11-13 a box.
