Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between match-grade and plinking ammunition?

Match-grade ammunition, like Eley Edge, is manufactured with tighter physical and weight tolerances for greater accuracy and consistency. Plinking ammunition, such as Aguila Super Extra, is designed for general use and is typically less expensive due to less stringent manufacturing controls.

How did Eley Edge perform against Aguila Super Extra in the 10/22 test?

In a test conducted on a stock Ruger 10/22 Takedown at 50 yards, Eley Edge consistently produced tighter groups. On average, the match-grade ammunition performed approximately 30% better than the bulk pack Aguila Super Extra.

What factors influence ammunition performance in a rifle?

Ammunition performance is influenced by the ammunition's manufacturing tolerances, bullet type, and the specific rifle it's fired from. Each rifle can have unique preferences for certain ammunition types, meaning results may vary from one firearm to another.

Is more expensive match-grade ammunition always worth the cost?

While match-grade ammunition like Eley Edge offers improved accuracy, its significantly higher cost means the value proposition depends on the shooter's needs. For competitive shooting, a 30% improvement might be crucial, but for casual plinking, the cost difference may not be justified.
