    Haven't been able to score any Eley 10x, Club or anything else worth shooting tried Target Nz, apparently waiting for a shipment from Germany and as I'm not a member, they are sitting on their stocks, I know they batched and stashed the best of stuff, all fair enough. Been trying different stuff with not great results, anyway a shooter from way back, checked out his stash and for nostalgia value, here they are.

    I well remember that ICI from way back - like 50-60 years ago when I was a wee fellow. We popped plenty with that ammo on the farm.

    I have an unoponed brick of 500 of the red ICI and a few loose boxes of 50. It is ~55 years old.
    I fired off a few several years ago. About 1 in 5 ruptured thru just above the rim.
    Ammo looks in good condition though. Won't fire any more, too unnerving!

    It was the ammo of the day.

    If it helps, I can vouch for these guys: https://www.printonline.co.nz/

    I used their services to print some of these targets and a bunch of others before I was allowed back into the office to access a printer myself.

    So far we have 6 members that have handed in targets
    Some Multiple for multiple categories

    Im only posting the top 3 for each Category but i am keeping a Excel spread sheet of everyone and a full set of placeings will be posted at the end of the Challenge
    So don’t be afraid to hand in those targets you may not be in the top 3 that’s fine you will see how your rifle and your ability to shoot 5 groups on the same peace of paper it’s not easy just ask anyone who has done it
    A very fun but Potentially frustrating Challenge

    Great fun, been giving the centre fires a rest (lack of components) and getting back to enjoying the humble 22. I know a hand full of guys, from the range that could take this to another level, not forum members but have tried to get them involved. Some extremely clever guys from engineering backgrounds that have turned somewhat ordinary rifles to exceptional rifles.

    Man, I forgot about this, I might try and get out to do it this weekend with a bit of luck.
    Great training for your trigger control that's for sure!

    Ahg F*?k ----This was today---- I know this rifle can do it, it's the nut behind the gun, 5 consecutive targets is a tough challenge. I don't know why any magnification over 10X and my groups suffer with 6 -8 being optimum, can freehold 6X that's my limit before the shakes destroy accuracy. Nice warm day with a light North eastly, had the range to myself, no distractions. Ammo used was some old army issue that was resold threw Gun City 100round packets, got the E stamp on the back.

    Interesting how that Ex Army ammo shot as I acquired some to shoot in my No 8 cadet rifle.
    As for that European 22 ammo with the large P on the box I bought 10000 rounds at 99c a box off Wellington Sporting Arms and found it reasonably accurate in the 10/22 and my Girls when younger would fire off a box quick smart.I still have not used it up 40 years later
