I started by opening a box of Winchester 22 Long CB-Match ammunition I'd gotten my hands on several months ago. I've wondered how this stuff might shoot through my Savage, and I had already decided I was not concerned about putting it through my rifle, chambered in 22 LR. Shooting prone, I sent six rounds at my 50 yard target, but I couldn't see where I was grouping. Upon inspecting the target up close, I discovered what looked more like a shotgun pattern than a "group." Obviously my rifle doesn't like this ammo. As a comparison, I followed up with 5 rounds of CCI SV, and you can see the difference. (click on images to blow them up)
I spent a few more minutes putting groups on paper with the CCI Standard Velocity ammunition. Brad and I have found this to be our go-to cartridge for accuracy - our Savages love it! Below you will see a picture of my best 50-yard, 5-shot group. By measuring edge to edge, and subtracting .22, I came away with a .47" group! Frankly, it's difficult to shoot poorly with this stuff.
On to the Wolf ammo, and what follows is the honest truth: Brad just got in a shipment of Wofd Target Match ammunition that he ordered months ago. We have been very excited to try this stuff out, and we anxiously awaited its arrival. Storm clouds were moving toward us, and suddenly the wind picked up, bringing with it a light, steady sprinkle of rain. Sensing the weather was about to kill our shooting session, I quickly turned from the 50 yard target to the 100, came up 22 clicks, and loaded the magazine with 5 rounds of Wolf Target Match ammunition. Now, with a rifle/scope glistening wet, and wind blowing directly toward me, I focused on the 100 yard target and squeezed off all five rounds at about a 90% effort, hoping to get a few rounds on paper. With only a 3-9X scope, and bad conditions, I couldn't see my point of impact. I ran out to the target, and stared in disbelief. Then I started laughing and hollering at Brad. I was, and still am, extremely pleased with the ONLY group I put on paper that day, at 100 yards. It measures 1.09". The weather chased us off, soon after. Needless to say, we are pumped to get out again and do some real testing with this Wolf ammunition.
