SK Rimfire Ammo Rivals Popular Wolf Ammo
Wolf Match Target and Wolf Match Extra ammunition is justifiably popular with competitive 22 LR shooters. Wolf Match Target, at $4.90-$6.20 per box, shoots as well as many types of 22 LR ammo costing much more. (Price varies with quantity purchased.) We recently chronographed Wolf Match Extra ammo (using multiple chronographs), and it showed lower ES and SD than some lots of much more expensive Eley ammo. But Wolf rimfire ammo is often in short supply.
SK Ammo — Made by the Folks Who Make Wolf
What to do? Here’s a tip — if you like Wolf Match, try the SK match ammo. SK Jagd Munitions actually manufactures Wolf Match ammo. The gold-box, SK-brand ammo is made in the same German plant as Wolf , and testing shows SK can deliver the same accuracy and reliability as Wolf. The SK Standard Plus is the equivalent of Wolf Match Target, while the SK Rifle Match is the equivalent of Wolf Match Extra. SK offers a wide range of rimfire match ammo at affordable prices. Here are current offerings at Champion Shooters Supply:
SK Rifle Match: $7.90 (50-rd box)
SK Pistol Match: $6.00 (50-rd box)
SK Standard Plus: $5.00 (50-rd box)
SK HiVelocity: $6.50 (50-rd box)
SK HiVelocity SPC: $6.50 (50-rd box)
SK Subsonic: $6.50 (50-rd box)
USER REVIEWS from MidwayUSA:
SK Rifle Match:
“I’ve tried over 20 different brands of match .22LR in my Anschutz 1907 including the various Wolf, RWS, Aquila, Lapua, and Eley loadings and the SK Match was one of the best. It was VERY consistent. 10 shot groups of 0.25″ to 0.3″ are the norm at 50 yards. Unlike most of the other less expensive ‘match’ ammo, the SK has yet to throw a bad flyer in 500 rounds. The Eley Tenex Ultimate EPS and Match EPS gave similar results. I consider the SK Match to be the best value for my rifle.” — D. Fletcher, TN
SK Standard Plus::
“I bought this because the Wolf MT is getting hard to find. This is the same ammo as the Wolf. I tried it in all my rifles and get about the same groups as the Wolf. Had no problems with this ammo and recommend it highly.” — H. Disharoon, VA
“Oh No — The secret’s out! For an exceptional price, this is absolutely the best .22 target ammo. I use it mainly in my Custom Ruger 10/22. CZ 452s just love this stuff. A majority of the silhouette shooters at my club use ‘SK Std Plus’ during matches and practice. I have shot cases of this stuff and can only count very few fliers.” — J. Batterton, AR
More or less SK belongs, since 1992, to LAPUA (wich is part ot the Nammo Group).
The SK subsonic is very accurate in my Suhl 150.
I have used this ammo for IR 50/50 rimfire benchrest and also in .22 rifire tactical matches. very accurate ammo.
I’ve tested both the SK Standard and the Wold MT together with 4 different rifles and I can’t tell the difference in the accuracy. I whichever one is available. Good Stuff!
Where can one purchase the SK Standard 22LR ammunition in the USA?
Just got a brick from E. Arthur Brown paid less than $5.00 a box.
I am the 4H 22 gun club leader and we are having trouble finding ammunition for the 22 LR Rim Fire any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Dr. Denise Easterling D.V.M.
I bought a brick (500) at Cabela’s today of the , well the color of the box is gold with a black and white target, the center is green. It is pricey at $92.99 plus 5% sales tax in this state so near a hundred bucks for the brick. I have not shot any but will if it ever stops snowing here. I just happened to drop in to see if they had any regular 22 LR ammo. Whenever they do it is gone almost instantly. Where is all of the 22 stuff going, h-m-m-m-m?? Gov’t??
I use the SK standard plus for nearly everything. Shoots a single hole at 50 yards consistently through an Anschutz 1416 as well as a 40 year old Savage/Anschutz 164 I bought while in the Marine Corps. Groups nearly as well through a 1965 Marlin 39-A. You should definitely try some. By the way, standard plus and Wolf Match target are the same thing
I am glad everyone is having good luck with this. but not me. put a new target barrel on my 10-22. very good groups with bulk ammo but this stuff was a 18 inch group at 50 yards. thought it was the barrel. but inch and a half groups with rem golden bullet and thunderbolt.
bOUGHT 1000 ROUNDS OF THIS STUFF FROM GRAF AND SONS. SHOOTS LOWER THAN MY USUAL FEDERAL , BUT ONCE ZEROED IN , DID A GREAT JOB. THE ROUNDS ARE GREASY, LIKE NORMA. THEY COME IN SEALED CANS AND SHOULD LAST A LONG TIME. !00 YDS , TAKE THE CENTER OUT OF THE TARGET.
GIVE IT A TRY,
JOE QUIS.
