DadSmith,
Help me understand the math.
Average fps would be the fps of each shot added together and divided by 10?
Extreme Spread: Highest fps - lowest feet per second? If so, Eley contact and Eley subsonic do not compute.
Explain Standard Deviation. How it is figured and what it means in the evaluation process.
From what I am seeing from this evaluation, Eley force is producing the best groups and has the lowest standard deviation.

I put down the wrong fps for the Lowest fps on those two. I just double checked the chrony and caught it. I edited the op. Thanks for questioning it. Otherwise it would have been left stating the wrong fps.


Eley force was excellent for my rifle. I plan on grabbing a brick or two asap.

By my recent experience Eley force did shoot the best of 8 different options. Didn't chrono them though so thanks for the info. My trial was in a new Fedderson barreled 10/22.

Hopefully more people will post their results. I'd like to know if Eley force is producing good results in the majority of firearms. It was very consistent compared to the other types/brands shot.
My biggest surprise was the $2.99 Agulia Super Extra 40gr. For the price it shot Extremely well and even out shot many higher priced ammunition.

That Aguila is some good stuff! I get consistent sub 1 MOA groups with it in my T1x. I've made it my cheap ammo choice for stockpiling.

I went to my lgs to grab more Eley force, and Agulia Super Extra 40gr. They were out of Agulia Super Extra. But was able to grab 8 boxes of Eley force. 2 days ago they had several bricks of each. Ammo getting bought up fast.

What barrel length? What profile barrel? Barrel band or not? Twist rate? Any chamber work done? This is all helpful data to those looking to wring the most accuracy out of a given platform.

Didn't know they made that many different 10/22. Always thought those were aftermarket add on rifles.
Mine is 27 years old.

Hopefully the picture answers the questions you desire.

When my lgs is out of the Eley Force I order from Champions Choice. They have a very good rimfire selection and great CS. They have pretty quick shipping also. Glad to hear someone else is having good results with the Force, it helps validate my results and it wasnt all luck I was experiencing. Thanks DadSmith

I'm happy to hear from you as well. Eley force might be a hidden gem. I'm glad I decided to test several different ammo types out. I plan on grabbing different brands, types, and testing them. I did have my lgs order in another brick of Eley force for me. Its good ammunition.

 

[DadSmith]

Just updated OP with 2 more rounds.

Federal Range Training Practice 40gr

Federal Auto Match 40gr

 

[johntheplinker]

Surprising the automatch was that consistent in velocity. Accuracy is about what I'd expect from it, tho.

 

[DadSmith]

Just updated OP added 3 more rounds to it.

Federal Champion 40gr

CCI Segmented HP 32gr

CCI MINI MAG HP 36gr

 

[DadSmith]

Add two new rds to the OP

RWS Target Rifle 40gr

CCI SV 40gr

 

[DadSmith]

Sorry guys I've not tested any new rounds. It's been rough finding 22lr ammunition and something different than I've already tested. I did run across a few different rounds and plan on getting it added asap.

Also unable to edit original post so I'll have to just post them here or start a new thread and move everything over to it.

I hear ya. Prices are so nuts now it's hard to get excited about finding something new only to see it costs $20 a box.

I have a chrono on order and plenty ammo to test.
