Anschutz Rifles. Match grade .22 ammo is designed for match grade rifles. What is shot in the olympics is ammunition designed for specific grades of rifle.Maybe somebody should google up what they shoot at the Olympics.
Thanks. Very informative. It looked highly precise when they used to show it on TV.Anschutz Rifles. Match grade .22 ammo is designed for match grade rifles. What is shot in the olympics is ammunition designed for specific grades of rifle.
Should be sent to your Paypal. Hope it helps the young lady out.

Almost all Eley Tenex, which starts at $0.30/round and goes up. Most shooters at that level (well, at least their coaches) can look at the lot number and tell which machine at Eley assembled the ammo and in what year. If you're serious, have money, and are short on time, you send your rifle or pistol to Eley's test facility (in Texas if you're in this hemisphere) and they'll shoot it with all available lots in their test tunnel. They'll advise you which lot is best for your firearm and then ship you a few thousand dollars (minimum) worth of ammo from that lot, only.Maybe somebody should google up what they shoot at the Olympics.
That stuff works well enough in just about everything, doesn't it? There was a well-documented ammo test with a pistol where 10 rounds of all different high-end ammo were shot by an Olympian through a free pistol. There were several grades of Eley (including Tenex), Lapua, some Russian stuff, and some CCI standard. The CCI did not fall outside the main group. It all shot about the same.CCI standard would probably be a great choice though.
tl;dr summary: If you buy her ammo, CCI standard in the 100-round plastic boxes is the reliable choice.

Before laser trainers became available, the biggest volume ammo users at the Olympics were rapid fire pistol shooters. Ralf Schumann, multiple medal winner in that event, used to use 150,000 to 400,000 rounds per year in training, depending on what story he wanted to tell the interviewer. It would be hard to shoot 400K rounds a year but estimates from U.S. coaches (that I believe to be reliable) were that he probably burned 250-300K rounds per year. All of it was Tenex; the German federation gave nothing but the best to their ultimate superstar.
In case you haven't figured it out, Olympic shooting is a whole 'nother world full of flakey people making big bucks for whom national training programs spend big bucks. (Pro-tip - Never sleep in Olympic athlete housing. They're nuts and they'll find ways to drive you crazy right along with 'em. I'll spare you the stories for now.)
Bottom line - Eley Tenex, the very best ammo out there, is a waste of money in the type of rifle she's going to get.
Further down the Eley line, though, is some great stuff. Eley Club might be a good idea. I use it a lot and it's good enough to make a difference. As crazy as it sounds, the Eley packaging is actually so superior it's worth considering for that reason alone. The sturdy inner boxes make it easy to pick out individual rounds and keep track of how many you've fired. No one I know who's a serious shooter bothers with lugging those fancy wooden ammo blocks to the firing line if they are shooting Eley; the separate blocks just aren't necessary. That ammo runs ~$0.12/round.
Of course, as Hoji said:

There were several grades of Eley (including Tenex), Lapua, some Russian stuff, and some CCI standard. The CCI did not fall outside the main group. It all shot about the same.
As an added bonus, in the very practical (almost as good as Eley packaging) 100-round plastic boxes CCI Standard can be had for $0.055/round. You can't really go wrong with that stuff for normal, unsuppressed target shooting.
What is she up to?
I would suggest that everything over the cost of the gun go to ammo.
I remember giving several thousand rounds away to parents with their kids at the range between 2012 and 2016.
Let’s try not to let her run out for a long time.
Stack it deep while it is cheap.
https://ammoseek.com/ammo/22lr/CCI?ikw=standard velocityI will definitely get her some CCI standard velocity.
Aside from the hard plastic box the 100 round packs come in, is there any difference ( besides price) than the 50 round boxes?
I've heard and I wish I could get someone from CCI to confirm that the ammo in the 100 round boxes and the ammo in the 50 round boxes are made in different places by different machines. I'm not good enough to tell the difference but there are highly skilled precision pistol competitors who swear that the ammo in the 100-round plastic boxes is slightly more accurate than the stuff in the 50-round cardboard boxes.Aside from the hard plastic box the 100 round packs come in, is there any difference ( besides price) than the 50 round boxes?
I just ordered myself a case of Eley CMP for $355, and while I haven’t shot any yet, I am rather confident that it will perform very well at the price point.
