An alternative to cci sv - Aguila Ammunition Standard .22 Long Rifle 40 Grain Lead Solid Point Brass Cased Rimfire Ammunition

I'm an accuracy nut, former NRA Master class competitive marksman, and member of the NRA's 1600 Club. I no longer compete, but still enjoy shooting sub MOA groups with all of my rifles at 50 yards. I can no longer justify the cost of actual match ammo, like Eley Tenex or Match, so I use inexpensive options, like Federal Automatch and CCI SV. My Ruger Target model 10/22 will shoot sub MOA with both of these choices all day. The trouble is that the CCI SV has gone from around $3.25 just a couple years ago to over $4.50! All honest reviews of the Aguila Standard Velocity 22LR indicate that it is on par with CCI SV. Optics Planet had it at $2.79, so I bought a case. As I've only recently received it, I haven't had a chance to try it, but plan to. Over 50 years of experience as a precision class shooter has demonstrated to me that negative reviews aren't credible, as most shooter's aren't actually capable of providing a credible review. I will find out for myself if this Aguila ammo is truly on par with CCI SV. My Remington 40X will shoot sub 0.38" 10 shot groups with CCI SV, which is the diameter of the X-ring on an NRA 50 yard target. That's my standard. As an aside, probably half of the ammo and rifle reviewers on YouTube aren't trustworthy or credible, as they either have an agenda, or just aren't as good as they'd like you to believe. They will claim that a product produces, say 1.5" groups, when a credible reviewer will demonstrate sub 0.5" groups with the identical products. It's like this: anyone can fake bad groups, but no one can fake great groups. ALL of my actual experience is consistent with the better reviews. Let me close by adding that I dry-fire often. That's the best way to eliminate shot execution errors, like grip and trigger squeeze. That's why I save my spent brass.
