Does anybody stock Lapua or Eley locally near Charlotte?
 
If you make it out my way I have eley
 
I'm hoping to buy just one box each of a variety to see what my rifle likes. Then I want to go buy the shelf clear of the good one.
Buying from SGammo or Outdoor Limited irritate me with shipping charges on small quantities, and they prevent me from verifying the same lot is being purchased in bulk.
My first time out it looked like CCI SV was good to go, but now I'm getting greedy and want to see if there's something that will group even better. I need all the help I can get. LOL.
 
I did order some SK Rifle Match recently through Optics Planet (don’t laugh 😂) for $13.99 per box and free shipping on orders over $49. Had it in about 9-10 days.

It shoots about the same as Center X out of my CZ Pro Varmint

Silver Dollar in Ramsuer has Eley. 10 or so boxes of it the same lot number. I can get some and get it to you through CFF express if you want.

Hold that thought. I'm not opposed, but I'm still checking options.

I can do the same with anything you want from Outdoor Limited (assuming the CFF underground railroad will cooperate).
 
Buy Wolf Match Target or if flush, Match Extra. Unless your gun is very different than most, it will group as well with either as it will with anything made by Eley, other than Tenex.
SK+ is Wolf MT, just under another name.
No flies on either brand. My Pardini SP-22 groups one ragged hole the size of a dime with either. At 50 yards.
Blue Collar Reloading has SK+, may still have Eley. Stay away from the high velocity stuff if groups are what you want.
 
I'm going to agree with member Amanda4461, I've found the Wolf brand to be comparable to the Eley and Lapua brands and usually easier to find. This has been my experience competing in 50 yard bench rest matches using my factory Savage or the CZ.
 
As it happens I have old Wolf Match Target. It strings vertically. I call it old because it's the stuff that was SK+. That was loaded by Lapua. The contract with Wolf ran out a few years back. The new Wolf Match Target is Eley loaded...not sure which variety.
 
Wolf match target and match extra is now made by Eley. It used to be made by Lapua.
My rifle prefers the old stuff. Your results may vary.
