The Rimfire Report: ELEY’s Penultimate 40 gr Match Flat Nose

If you’ve been keeping track of my ongoing ammunition testing series, you know we’ve been dabbling a bit on both ends of the spectrum of cost and reputation. On the higher end of the spectrum, we’ve been slowly going through ELEY’s catalog of 22LR offerings; today we’re finally getting into the territory of the truly expensive offerings with ELEY 40-grain Match Flat Nose . This highly expensive and unique ammunition is said by ELEY themselves to be second in the world only to ELEY’s own Tenex  match ammo.

As is my custom in this series, we’ll be testing a 50-round box of this stuff at 50 yards, out of a precision rifle ( Angstadt RPR ), to see what $0.50 per round gets you out of a match-grade rifle.
