So I don't have to call every gun store on the island.
Don't want to buy a case, but a few boxes for a friendly competition.
Post by: Inspector on September 01, 2018, 10:02:31 AM
Does anyone know where they sell these at? My rifle likes them and the friend who gave me some rounds did a bulk order.I assume you mean SK Rifle Match? If so, the last place I saw it (sorry but a long time ago) was Prime Sports.

This is probably some of the best ammo I have tried in all my rifles so far. As good as the Eley Tenex I have tried. And Eley Target is almost as good.
LMK if you find some for sale. Same friendly competition? :thumbsup:

You see how friendly competitions can help boost sales to our supporting LGSs? :shaka: :shaka: :shaka: Enjoy and spread the word!!Good point. Also, friendly competitions are supposed to be just that, friendly. This is what is going to keep this competition going over the long haul.
I won’t be able to compete in the first one, but I’ll be in for the second one. Good luck all. And above all have fun.

I didn't do as well as I hoped. Fat goose egg for me (0).
But it was weird, the 1st 25rds of the SK shot like how it did before. But after that, it started to open up a lot. So I figured, maybe dirty barrel. So I ran my CCI SV through her and it shot like how it's supposed to. I did forget about the wind, so maybe rounds 25-50 it was windier than normal? So I used my CCI for the challenge.

As you shoot that target with the same gun you will get a feel for when you should stop. Believe me, you probably did better than you think. I intend to print a bunch of the targets to get a feel for how far I can get with my equipment. My equipment is well used and not that great so I suspect I can get only so far on that target.

As far as the SK shooting differently, i could be the wind. When you are in the zone you can block out other things. It could be the ammo. I have one rifle that is very picky about how I hold it even on the bench. I can change the POI just by applying different pressures in different directions on the stock. So consistency is the key.
My suggestion is to practice a lot with the CCI SV and shoot the match with the SK after verifying POI.

Bushido's been saying that the SK purple box flat-nose regular and match is good.
Trying to get some of this also.
Post by: changemyoil66 on January 02, 2019, 10:20:59 AM
My rifle likes GECO Match (red box) runs good and is slightly cheaper. But overall doesn't shoot that much better than CCI SV considering the price difference.
The wife is planning her build as we speak. She was looking at a cheap 10/22 in Vegas, but I told her it's not a tac driver. She's now looking into KIDD parts, but doesn't like the Magpul stock it comes with. She might also go with a Brownells receiver to save a few bucks.
Post by: Bushido on January 02, 2019, 07:00:29 PM
still debating if I want to jump down the rabbit hole.
You're already in the rabbit hole...you just haven't realized it yet.
Mrs. Change should take a look at the Kidd Barreled Actions and use the stock/chassis of her choice. Of course in Lavender. :shaka: :shaka: :shaka: Brownells receivers are way better than the new Ruger receivers being put out so I've heard. QC is apparently not what it was BITD.
There is a saying "There is nothing cheap about precision shooting". Everybody learns it sooner or later. Some sooner than others. esk808 will give you a tour of his collection that will may your financial adviser commit suicide.

I’ve always had really good results with the SK pistol match green box. Have 3 10/22s 18inch(Green mountain) bull barrels and one KIDD barrel and for me they all shoot fairly close. Z
I've had really good results shooting Eley Pistol out of my rifles. I could never get more than what I had.

Might take a seat on the 22 to the back. The wife found that Midstate firearms now offers "oil slick" AR parts. Upper, lower, barrel, handguard, buffer tube. She currently has the oil slick BCG in her AR. So she might want to build another. I knew about the new products, but kept my mouth shut because I knew what would happen if she saw them.
But if she builds another AR, I'm gonna need another one also . Can't be having the wife has more AR's than the husband. =P

Seems purely cosmetic. If it keeps the wifey interested, then :thumbsup: But seems like a lot of $$$ for a cosmetic finish. I don't see many of those parts being really noticeable. But again, if happy wife = more guns for husband, then right on!

Spend around $1800 on her current AR with the Stingrey Guncandy Cerakote. It's not even a Noveske or DD.
But like you said happy wife=more guns for husband.
And maybe since she will have 2 AR's now she can pay for ammo.

$1800 is about 4-5 cases of ammo, so she can look forward to a new "oil slick" barrel for her first AR when she shoots the barrel out. ;D

Kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Build a dedicated rimfire AR rifle with all those bling parts. I can hook you up with the right guy to get the low down on conversions.
That was a thought,but she's looking for more of a tac drier so she can shoot with us. And she would want to take the classes with her oil slick.

I've heard Wolf Match Target is the same thing as SK Match. Seems to shoot the same in my rifle, which is very very good...
Wolf was produced by Lapua as is SK. Wolf in now produced by Eley. In my small testing, it is just as good.

Being that both SK and Wolf were made at Lapua's factory, it has been said the Wolf Match Target was the same as SK Standard Plus (Yellow). Wolf Match Extra was supposedly the same as SK Rifle Match (Red). I can not confirm that but it has been reported by some very reputable people. Although they both were produced at Lapua, they were not produced on the same line/machines that the Lapua brands were on. Lapua's lot numbers show the exact velocity of the lot in meters per second as well as other information such as the line/machine that it was produced on. I'm not certain if the same can be said about the Wolf and/or SK line.

Let me know when you can shoot. I will tell my friend and you can see what a properly built AR 22lr dedicated upper can do. His recent build will blow your mind. He has at least 2 others. Warning: it is not cheap by any stretch of the word. YOLO

It bothers me to have so much variety. I'm trying to only keep CCI SV and GECO Match in my 22 stash.
But the RWS shot good to (thanks Bushido), just a little to expensive.
