Ray the only problem with your comment- more money does not equal more accurate ammo. As Slick Willy said all the more expensive ammo does is guarantee you there will be some left if your into testing lots.
I've shot about 10-15 of $45 a brick SK Standard Plus last year with an extreme spread of about 20 FPS. I cronyed so much- over half- I got tired of setting up the chrony. It would shoot easy .150- .225 five shot groups @ 50 yards with several of my rimfires- Turbo bench- Rem 37- 40X W52C.The SK shot great in all of them. I shot a lot of sub .150 5 shot groups. Yes sometimes I did get the occasional flier- but I knew it was the ammo, maybe 3 or 4 fliers out of a box of 50.
The occasional flier for me, did not justify me buying the $12- $17 box Eley. Yes I bought some blue, black and red box stuff and it shot no better than the SK. I only bought about 15 different lots of Eley over time and just couldn't afford to find that Magic Lot.
When i figured out rimfire is not about the shooters skill or about the metal- rimfire only proves the great shooters have the ability to spend till they do find the magic ammo, nothing else.
It does seem most in rimfire want the new person to believe the sport of rimfire is more complicated than the space shuttle- it is not..... joe

I've been having problems with SK ammo recently. It's started to give me a lot of flyers. I can see it take off after it gets about 40 yards and I'll miss by a whole inch or so. I've had more luck with CCI SV lately and it's half the price of SK. But today I shot 8 100 point shots in a row and my CCI SV started taking off on me. I did clean the bore the night before on my CZ 453 and apparently it made my consistency go down. Usually I can shoot a consistent group of about .25" with that ammo. I've shot some groups under .11". I've had some groups where 4 shots were under .1" by a good bit but I got a flyer that pushed the group size out to about .3". Consistency is always the battle with .22's especially with quality control going out the window because of the shortages. My Savage is still my best shooting .22 but not by much. The CZ does almost as well and is more consistent or at least it was before today. Hopefully it will settle back down after I get the bore fouled enough. But I've shot a 2200 with my Savage on an ARA target. I can't do that often. Actually I have only done it once so a lot of that was just luck. I always get better results with a dirty bore though. Maybe that's just me.
