The SK High Velocity 22LR Match Ammunition has a stated velocity of 1,263 fps at the muzzle with the speed being reduced to 922 fps at a distance of 200 yards. For rimfire shooters, this means that your optic will have a lot more usefulness out to greater distances but at the same time this would end up being a moot point if your high-velocity ammunition also nets you less precision and predictability. The obvious advantage of having a supersonic round at the muzzle is that it will reduce the bullet drop over a given distance compared to subsonic ammo of the same grain weight. The general advice I’ve heard from most precision rifle shooters is that if the bullet is going to be subsonic at the target then it is often better to have the bullet be subsonic at the muzzle as well or vice versa. Many of you will know that the main issue with supersonic or high-velocity 22LR ammunition is that it tends to interfere with its own transonic wake as it bleeds off speed which induces a reduction in the accuracy department. The idea of match grade 22LR ammunition also being subsonic is quite curious to me. The Rimfire Report: Testing SK High Velocity 22LR Match Ammo The precision rimfire shooters in the crowd will no doubt know the disadvantages that high-velocity rimfire ammunition has when it comes to long-distance engagements, however, today on the rimfire report I sought out to test if this more budget-friendly ammunition could compete with some of what I consider to be the best ammunition for precision rimfire that are already on the market. The new SK High Velocity Match 22LR ammunition claims to be able to help those competing in Rimfire Precision Series or NRL22 matches to reach out to farther targets with more confidence. Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This week we are continuing this ongoing series by going over a type of ammunition I recently discovered from SK Ammunition.
