CCI may not deliver peak performance of match ammos but it does offer quite good consistency across batches, and that's a plus when plinking.

I recently setup my Savage for CCI Standards and was getting 1" groups @ 100m without really trying hard (rifle could undoubtedly do better with a better shooter!). Although if you believe strelok the MV was down around 960fps. Anyhoo took it out on it's first bunny hunt with this ammo, I was happy with the accuracy (hits @ 120m) but the lethality at all ranges was crap - I had a lot of hits but animals with enough life in them to disappear into nearby holes.
