I used to shoot a lot of SK standard plus but the Tac had shot just as well for me and is easier to get at good prices so I've been switching over

Also have a new Contender barrel that apparently likes it. But then it seems to like CCI SV as well, which I find totally bizarre. I am..........disturbed.

Norma match, shoots well, occasional flyer. I have several bricks from a past Midway sale. SK Standard Plus, much the best for this price range. Most important, find out what your rifle likes the best. Ride well, shoot straight, and speak the truth.

Originally Posted by JimHnSTL Originally Posted by ned Most important, find out what your rifle likes the best. THIS! in spades! I agree. My Cooper nor my Rem 504 like either of the Norma rounds, the CZ loves both with a slight preference to the TAC. Those who are always shooting off at the mouth usually aren't shooting straight.

My 452 shoots SK standard a tich better than the Tac but you'd have to be shooting in a match for that tich to be worth measuring.

Went home, threw these waxy bastards in the 40+ year old Marlin bolt and got average MV of 968, with ES of 63. This is the only time I put a rimfire on the speedo, but why the hell not. Hopefully this helps you guys. Last edited by OrangeDiablo; 10/13/17. I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery - Thomas Jefferson

I find that the Annie standard barrels are less picky than the heavies about ammo. I sincerely do not know why. Gun Shows are almost as comical as boat ramps in the Spring.
