Eley & SK Semi Auto -- Are They The Same? 

great video - thanks for taking the time to chrono and explain what you're doing. some nice groups with those eley rounds!

Without looking at any other posts (!) just looking at the targets and chrono data, the “winner” is the Eley.......no question in this scenario, even in the semi posh rifle the Eley was the more consistent ammunition. Having said that both makes had serious flyers! When I was growing up in the 60’s I belonged to my village 22 rifle club with 3 teams, two of which shot nationally, the ammunition we shot then was Winchester super X subs and as far as I can remember never had flyers. The average score for the A team was 98/99-100 at 25yds, I still have that rifle a BSA Martini action! Thank you for your time putting up these excellent videos, much appreciated. Kind regards from across the pond Clive.

12:55 to 13:05 is the useful chronograph info. Thanks for the videos!

Good presentation and a fine series. Keep on shooting! mwagon

Trees are blowing in the backround, thinking some of those "fliers" were a weather report. Good video's btw, thanks.

Awesome video brother keep it up

Thank you for the video. My information has Ely as a UK product; SK is a German product. Ely has a wax lubricant; SK has an oil lubricant. I have SK Long Range 22lr and Lapua Center X 22lr with the same markings on the brass of each: I understand from others that Wolf 22lr brass is also marked the same. To my point: I have found only one process on 22lr that shrinks target MOA at 50-100 yards (no wind helps). That process is ensuring that the 22lr driving ring(s) are as close to perfectly round as can be obtained via a resizing die. I use a Neil Waltz die that reshapes the 22lr driving ring(s) to 0.225 inches. Consider: You mentioned how you clean a rifle to avoid damaging the crown which would affect MOA negatively. Now using the same logic, if the bullet is not as close to round as it can be made to be, AND the diameter is not sufficient to positively engage the rifling, what do you think the effect will be on MOA?

Really enjoy your videos sir! Keep up the good work. From the chrono info id go for the Eley. IF my rifle likes it.

ELIJAH .. !!!! JUST FOR PLAYING ... THE CHEAPER THE BETTER ...!!!!!!! ON THE OTHER HAND ...!!!!! ELEY ...!!!!!! GREAT VIDEO , - - - """""" NEED TO CALL JOE OUT """"""""" ! ! ! ! ..... LOVE TO SEE Y'ALL GO AT IT ...!!!!!!! DOUBLE G. HERE ...!!!!!!! REMEMBER :: STILL PRAYING FOR THE FAMILY ...!!!!! YES YOU TO ELIJAH ....!!!!!!!!!! ✝✝✝

Nice surprise to bring out the cz. The Eley out of the cz shot decent groups. My concern is the point of impact change (if you didn’t adjust scope). What do you attribute that to? Bedding issue?

Wolf 22 target is made by SK in Germany. Eley has partnered with Remington for high quality 22lr ammunition. some of the various 22lr match uses powder that smells like burning anti-freeze, indicating that the powder is a petroleum based powder.

I recently also got some of the sk semi auto. So far in my 10/22 it shoots great ,one jagged hole at 30 . From sk standard that I used to shoot the semi auto is a bit faster. So far I'm impressed bit still need to get more rounds down the tube to get a real good feel for it .

Nice video. Beautiful 10/22. Good lookin CZ. Looks like Eley for the win but SK not bad. I think SK and Lapua are manufactured at the same place.

I think you're absolutely right they are totally different

As always, great video. My Kidd heavy barrel shoots the Eley SA Benchrest absolutely lights out. CenterX is the only thing that comes close, but the Eley Benchrest is always better. The Eley shoots fantastic at 50 AND 100 yds. what's with those VQ rifles? I haven't seen a vid where they shoot very well.

Its an entertaining comparison. The SK Auto shoots well in the 1022 clone. The Eley Benchrest Match is probably not worth it for that gun at that range. But the Chrono reveals they are not the same ammunition. The Eley Benchrest Match has much more consistent velocity. There are some important unmeasured variables like rim thickness, overall cartridge length, projectile mass, bullet concentricity. If those are equally consistent, then in a bench rest gun, and especially at longer ranges, the Eley Benchrest Match might very well hold together when the SK Auto starts to open up.

You da man!

Easy choice. From bolt action Eley semi auto bench rest. Two really tight groups.

Try checking the rim thickness and weight of each round. I have been doing this and found that it does make a big difference in group size

One day will have to add a 22 plinking gun to the Arsenal!

Great video!! What is the chronograph that you are using with your phone?

Always enjoy your input, sometimes the intro and details are a bit long winded. Is it not possible to put the ammo specs etc as a footnote .

I realize this was 3 years ago, so hopefully SK has "fixed" this issue. It seems to me that their velocities are hovering right around the transonic range, which confuses me as to what this ammo is actually for. Maybe dinner plates at 25 yards?

Sk if I’m not mistaken is made by Lapua. So it’s not the same as Eley. You should try some RWS R-50 in the CZ. My 452 loves it.

I like SK ammo, but I'd have to go with Eley on this one. I would be shooting them to 300+ yards, and I've got to have that lower extreme spread.

I noticed that the Wolf Match Extra ammo has an Eley stamp on it. So I guess it’s made by Eley, but is it the same as ELEY?

ES and SD was much, much better with the Eley. Easy choice!

54 degrees isn't a good temperature to test 22lr ammunition, best accuracy will come 10-15 degree's warmer.

SK = Lapua. Wolf = Eley.

Eley has a unique smell that I have only found in one other brand and that is Aquila. Both have very waxy bullets and I wonder if they are made by the same company. Of course I do not have your experience with that many premium brands.

What's the distance please??

Could you share a link for the paper target you are using? Thanks.

Something to be said about a bolt action

Wind is getting you. 5mph cross wind or head can move projectile up to 1". Try again with wind flags or on a calm day. Thanks for the review.

Very good info. SK much less consistent

Remove the swivel stud to eliminate that vertical, its hitting the bag. every time you shot the rifle would lift

Ruger American and Savage A22 shoot better 👍 … just saying. Great channel 👍

One's made in Germany the other in England.

Go get an Anshitz match rifle and some Tenex and then tell me that those groups are good.

Nice shotgun 👍

Don't want the sling stud on the front bag.

Lmao, different factorys.
