Eley Ammo which is the best value? - CZ 457 LRP - Team vs. Match vs. Tenex at 50 yards
In this video I will put the top 3 Eley match 22LR flavours up against each other to see where the best bang for the buck is in the higher end Eley line up. My local shop sells both Team and Match for $16.99 and Tenex will cost me $28.99. Will the extra $12.00 make the rifle shoot 1/3 better than the Team and Match??? Watch this video and find out how they performed in my CZ 457 LRP!
My rifle has a few after market parts on it. The list of parts I added are a 22" Internation Barrels Inc. Olympic contour 1:16 right twist barrel, a Timney flat blade trigger (TT-CZ457-SB), a custom Arca Swiss rail and diy bipod mount. The bipod I use is a bipod factory carbon 6-9" swivel model. the optic used is a Vortex Razor HD Gen I 5-20 x 50 Mil/Mil with Vortex Precision rings and bubble level. Apart from this the action hasn't been touched as well as the stock.
Although this rifle shoots very well in my opinion for the price, I want to find an ammo that is good and consistent that also doesn't break the bank in the process. There are definitely less expensive alternatives out there and I have a feeling I already know what the winner will be!

Tenex and match are literally the same ammunition from the same machine, when they batch test the batches with better results for in tenex boxes and the rest goes into match. I was told this from a British team member who goes to the factory to batch test to choose his competition ammunition. Save your money and stick with match

Thanks for sharing your testing. I usually shoot 5 5-shot groups of 5 different lots of Eley Match and have found much variation. It gets expensive but the results are worth it. My CZ 457 is accurate with selected lots. I also understand that results will probably vary between different rifles. As well, I usually ask 3-4 good shooters to share in the testing. Blessings

@flyerh 9 ай бұрын

As previously stated Eley do a run of what they hope is all Tenex but in reality the batches vary.What they do now is batch test their Tenex and if if falls below a certain level it is sold as Match.If it falls below a standard for Match,it is sold as Team. I got this information from Eley .However they are not unique in this practice as other manufacturers do the same because they can’t recycle rimfire.

Here is a tip for testing ELEY Ammo on every different rifle/barrel. You need to test 3 or 4 lots of each type (e.g. Tenex, Match) with different speeds (the last number of the lot label). So if testing Tenex, choose a box of 1044, 1053, 1076 and maybe a 1080. Each box will shoot a bit different. From the 3 or 4 speeds, you should find one that works best and then you can order a few bricks of it. When first choosing, make sure you choose from lots that the supplier has much of. You hate to find the perfect lot and go back to find it's all sold out. Hope this helps.

@BROTUNED Ай бұрын

Ya thanks for this tip it’s just hard to get even two different lots where I live the shop will get a skid of ammo and it’s this is your option basically I have ent seen 2 different lots of the same ammo ever. I wish I know where to find this stuff in different lots. If anyone in Canada 🇨🇦 can point in in the right direction I’d love to try a few different lots someday

Most of my CZs are 452s bought 15 or 20 years ago. I think I have one of every model they made back then. I do have a recently acquired 457 MTR that only has a couple hundred rounds through it. It is not particularly fond of Eley but time will tell what it does like. My B14R is approaching 1K rounds and it likes Team and Match. Shot my first match with it a couple weeks ago and finished in the middle of the pack shooting Team. Very happy with the Bergara. It isn't nearly as ammo picky as the CZs. I'm sure the MTR will do great once I get it sorted.
