Wolf Target .22 ammo is pretty good as well.

This used to be made by Lapua. I have a case of their ammo that is stamped Lapua.

I've got a book here somewhere " How to shoot smallbore for less than 50,000$$ "If you don't like the current trend in powder and primer prices for reloading, you're sure not going to like hearing about "good" match ammo for a bench .22. There's a reason I'm broke right now.
ETA- Norma TAC is some of the best "affordable" ammo I've shot from my .22 bolt gun.
I've always known CCI Standard as a very accurate cheap ammo and have never had luck with Mini Mags. CCI standard and Norma TAC both shoot extremely well in my 22's and are pretty inexpensive. I am making about 75% hits on a 5 inch plate at 300 yards with the Norma TAC stuff.
Maybe I'll need to get some Lapua Midas + and a carton of eggs. 
Good looking set-up.

In several of my 22's my experience has been that the CCI standard velocity rounds shoot better than nearly all the rest. I can get better groups with CCI Green Tag and other similar, more expensive ammo.
For the price- the CCI SV is very accurate, leaps and bounds ahead of the Mini-mags in my rifles.

"The rest" is generally what folks haven't tried yet tho. I was flabbergasted at the high end ammo that was used in actual competition matches when I first got started, even tho I was competitive with Federal Auto-Match at one time, there was still a great learning curve to go thru to find much better accuracy from my particular rifle.

This is why I'm broke now! But I can shoot pretty good now tho lol

I have 452 and 457 Luxes, I've mainly shot mini mags out of them with an occasional velocitor for pigs and Remington viper for squirrels. I guess this explains why the accuracy has been ok but, slightly underwhelming. Gonna start buying some standard velocity CCI, what grain bullet do y'all recommend?
The
CCI SV. is only offered in 40gr rn
This is why the rimfire benchrest world goes wild when certain lots of Eley Tenex are found to be exceptional. Those guys get goofy.

I have an old Marlin Glenfield, No. 35, i think, that puts CCI sv in the same hole all day,literally.
I bought 8 or 10 bricks of the same lot number of it back in the 2 boxes per person, per day era.
It was cheaper than Mini Mags at the time if memory serves me right. That was a long week, but I got all he had!!! Seems like it was 8 cents a shot, and silly me was thinking it prolly wouldn't get cheaper!!
