Interesting that 1st & 3rd were well-known BPCR/BPTR competitors that always seem to 'trickle to the top' in those events, as well. 

As a point of reference, Eley Tenex and their black-box Match ammo are two of the top choices for .22BPCR shooting with the turkeys at 150m and rams at 200m. The good shooters routinely clean the rail at both distances with this Eley ammo. One could say that Eley (along with SK, Lapua and a couple of others) all ready have accurate 200yd ammo available. 

I find the new Norma Match ammo shoots well at those distances in the Shilen rachet-rifled barrel on my DZ Hepburn with a match chamber.

Scott, it's always great to see new blood in our sport, and I applaud you for getting the word out to another bunch of shooters who may not be aware of us but may possibly be interested.  Good job and a great article!  Thank you!

Regards, Joe

Great article as Joe Feldman noted and thanks for getting the word out and promoting our sport. Sadly it is not promoted in modern day shooting publications, sports TV or the shooting related manufacturing industries. There is currently probably a multitude of shooting enthusiasts who do not know it even the sport  exists and are missing out on one of the most enjoyable and user friendly matches to shoot thanks to those who currently shoot it.

It works pretty well.  That is why I have been doing matches, both SS and ML, for the last 30 years.  There are a few left, not alone yet    Keep up the good work.

Boats is right.  Pay attention to shooting, not ammo.  Up to a point.  American Eagle really won't cut it at 100, but until you can call your shots, ordinary SV stuff will suffice.

2 years ago, we tried Edge and decided it was overpriced.  Yesterday, at our first 100 yard match of the year, two 25-shot targets, I set a Schuetzen Verein record, a single target 608-12c and a two target total of 1203-18c.  I used the leftover Edge.  Not much wind, plenty of mirage early on.  Clouded up later.

There is a real difference between 100yd & 200yd with SV .22LR ammo. The primary difference that those of us who shoot both distances have discovered is that a 'flyer' (that being defined as anything more than 1/2moa out of the group) at 100yd is still a decent shot while a flyer at 200yd is magnified and kills your score. The less expensive ammo tends to have flyers while the good stuff does not.
