Have you noticed a reduction in the quality or consistency of match 22LR ammo?
Seems recently (past 6 -12 months) winning a 22LR match is down to who has the most consistent (quality) brand of ammo. I look at what everyone is shooting. We all are having problems finding ammo, but also the quality of the batches seems degraded.
I miss a shot or two and think I'm going to loose just to find so has the other top scores. I ask their thoughts and the have said don't know why they missed.
I feel the same. I can feel that a shot is going to be on center and when it misses its a WTF moment. Can blame myself or the ammo but when I see all the others who missed I think it's the dam ammo. I don't use a chronograph. Never thought it was needed till this stuff happens.
What are your thoughts? Anyone chrono and can quantify this?
