what ammo do you shoot?

The bullets may be smaller but not the challenge.

I also use SK Standard in all my Smallbore guns. I did do some testing at 100 yards with Eley Edge in an attempt to gain an advantage over SK for my Fifth Scale efforts. The Eley did give very slightly better groups and did allow me to reach my goal of International class in Fifth Scale last year. But my ammo budget doesn't justify the added cost of the Eley over SK for the bulk of my shooting. Before my switch to SK I was using CCI Standard but I was getting some costly fliers. So for me it's SK Std.

Presently I am using Eley Target(yellow box). Started with Eley Brown Box back in the 80's when they came out with that. Used it for years...switched to Eley Silhouette when Brown Box was discontinued...and now use Eley Target. Tried the more expensive Club ammo...couldn't see any difference. SK shoots very well in my guns, but I've always gone back to the Eley brand. I would like to try Laupua Center X. Jim Fields told me that is what he and most of the Oklahoma guys are running
