Dean I was actually just on their website when you posted this. Do you find their standard to be any better than the magazine ammo?

I'm putting an order together for my 444 and wouldn't mind picking up some nice .22 ammo while I'm at it.

Rifle Match ,Standard Plus, and Magazine are the same load, but when they test them, the most consistent lots become Rifle Match, the next Standard Plus, and the rest Magazine. I have tested Rifle Match, and Standard Plus, and I don't notice much, if any difference, I didn't buy Magazine, because the container size wasn't as handy. The last time I bought Standard Plus, it was $490 per case, and I bought two cases, and then bought another case from a friend that found it didn't cycle in his semi auto, so it has been several years.
I have purchased SK Long Range lately, and I find that it does significantly better at 100m than Standard Plus.

ELK has more experience with SK and is a good shot so I would go with his info. I has SK Standard Plus and the two lots I have shoot very good in most of my rifles, but Federal Champion HV 40 grain solid lead points is less than half the price and shoots just as good. Old 50 yard Ammo test on a brand new CZ452 I bought, before I bedded it and did the trigger.

The Standard Plus, out of the same CZ after bedding and out of most of my Anschutz rifles, won't really out shoot the cheap Champion. Only reason I bought a batch of SK is I got it REALLY cheap. To me, solid point is good for targets, but any live target gets Xpert, Super-X or Wildcat hollow points. They kill WAY better.

Prophet just posted they got another shipment of SK in, and some different lines. Has anyone checked with Neerlandia? Amazing how much the prices on this latest batch have gone up. Pretty close to double what it was, just like everything else these days.

SK Long Range are $12 box, they were over $10, when I bought them a couple of years ago.
