Barrel dry swabbed before each group was shot. Same equipment was used as stated above, again 72 deg F, but it was 47% humidity, 0 wind, sunny. Aguila SV was far superior in the wind.Ī week later, dead calm conditions made the range call my name, and the name of the CCI SV test. I only fired when a sustained wind of 10 MPH was achieved at the firing station. But then I thought which one of these would hold the wind better? So at 50 yards, with the wind varying from 5 to 14 MPH changing from the 2:00 to 4:00 position: Too windy and variable for any objective groups. Unfortunately, my first day out after running the ammo through the chrony, the wind picked up substaintially. Point Of Impact (POI) compared to others - Similiar point of impact to Wolf MT and Aguila GE Match Rifle at 50 and 100 yards, Aguila Super Std Vel had an extremely different POI. Smell - no distinct smell (such as the Eley primed smell of the other three ammos)įailure To Extract(FTE) - none, all 200 rounds extracted perfectly.įailure To Fire (FTF) - none, all 200 rounds extracted perfectly. Residue - somewhat uniform balls in barrel, mostly toward the chamber. NOTES: for FPS above and 50 + 100 yard grouping tests below = 1096 FPS / 42 dev., Agulia Golden Eagle Match Rifle = 1092 FPS / 25 dev. This at least goes to show again that usually the higher the weight lot, the higher the FPS.Ĭompared to 3 other ammos on hand and in present environmental conditions, Wolf MT = 1005 FPS / 20 dev., Aguila Super Std Vel. A 1086 FPS was recorded in the 1 round 51.1 weight lot, but again was excluded as it was only 1 in 200 rounds that this happened. 991 FPS was the lowest (50.6), and 1042 FPS was the highest (50.9). FPS of all rounds (not including the 1 51.1) was 1022 with a 51 dev. 040 / 1.Īs the highest number of rounds weight sorted was 50.9 and the highest number of rim thickness (.038) were also found in the 50.9 weight lot, I can only assume this is the round that CCI intended to make across the board, or at least on average, what CCI produces most in their SV ammo.Īvg. Out of 200 rounds total rim thicknesses were. RT / quantity (rim thickness for each weight lot listed / quantity)ĥ0.9./.105./.1026 avg 27 dev. 1" circles used at 50 yards, 1.5" at 100 yards. The barrel was dry swabbed clean before each weight lot switch. Air temp was 72 deg F, and humidity was 65%. The chrony was set out 10 ft from the muzzle, shot through a 20" 1 in 16 twist heavy barreled Savage MKII, laminated free floated stock, 20 moa base and 6-24X optic (set on 14x), Harris bipod and rear bag from a bench. I've found that at distances past 50 yards, the weight sort tends to be more consistant. NOTE: I didn't run the Rim thickness lots through the chrony. I then shot the weight sorted lots through a chrony to get the most consistant weight lot. There were 4 weight lots and 4 rim thickness lots(technically 4 rim thickness lots, with one lot containing only 1 round, so out of 200 rounds, there were 199 broken into three rim ticknesses). I broke out 200 rounds and did some weight and rim thickness sorting. Compared to other Match or Standard Velocity ammos I had on hand, it appeared to me that the CCI SV had a longer and sleeker nose to it. The ammo had a light to medium waxey lubed coating (not of a greasy type). The CCI SV (Standard Velocity) was priced at $24.99 or $.05 a round which was attractive to me. I've never put CCI Standard Velocity to a true test and since my local Dick's sporting goods had plenty in stock, I thought I'd give them a go as a possible lower cost paper target practice / silhouette ammo and not having to deal with shipping and handling from a catalog store sounded good. I found a decent shooting ammo in Aguila Match Rifle (black box), but also had a few issues with a few bricks that left a bad taste in my mouth. As much as I prefer Wolf Match Target and Extra, if you shoot alot, the price of ammo adds up quickly. So there I was again, ready to make a bulk purchase of ammo.
