CDNN is advertising 18" blued bull barrels for $89, and fluted version for $99. looks like they have some stainless left as well. Not sure I need another barrel right now, but was wondering if any of you have experience with or insider knowledge of these barrels. They say "Champion manufacture" and claim Bentz match chambers. I know Champion is just a brand of (cheap) acessories and gun stuff, but who actually makes these barrels? The muzzle design is highly reminiscent of GM, but the finishing work seems a little poorer.

When I search for CCI Standard Velocity I get some different hits. Their #0032 seems to be the ones you are talking about, but I also find #0035 that seem the same, and they don't show up on CCI site?

0032 is the 50 round box and the 0035 is the Brick of the 0032s. Might have this backwards, but you get the idea.

You want these. Best shooting ammo I know of for the price.

Some may disagree. But it shoots great in my Kidd and GM barrels. I get great groups with it quite often every trip to the range.

Well, considering all I have is Federal 40gr HV, copper plated, need to get to walmart.

I just keep buying it since my Walmart has plenty. I have bought about 3 more bricks since I took this.

The next better ammo that cost about double is SK Pistol Match.

Some of this stuff will rival good Eley.

Now I understand the shortage

There is no shortage. Walmarts in my area have more 22 than they ever had. They even went to a no limit.

I'm just jealous yours sells the standards in brick form - mine are all 50 count...which is fine, I just have to buy them individually.

I've noticed that on RFC, many people have consistently good results from SK Standard +/Wolf Match Target and SK Rifle Match/Wolf Match Extra, while conversely some people have really good results from SK Pistol Match, and others have not-so-good results (I haven't seen any folks using SK Pistol Match Special).

For me, Std +/Match Target is pretty consistent and Rifle Match/Match Extra is better. Pistol Match hasn't worked out as well, but maybe that's lot related; but I still have 5 bricks sitting in my ammo cabinet

Why would you poke holes in a seemingly perfect interior wall?

I tried it in my 22" GM stainless fluted sporter. Compared 9 different types with TAC-22 and CCI SV on the low end and Midas + on the top end to see what the barrel liked. The Pistol Match ended up with performance on the lower 25% of the pack, but priced about in the middle of the pack.

I haven't got around to trying it with other barrels yet, so there's a chance it will do better, since every gun is different.

Well I have shot it in Suhl, Benchmark, Douglas, Kidd, and GM barrels and it has yet to not shoot tiny holes at 50yds.

Benchmark barrel on Suhl 150 bottom row are all 10 shots. You might want to get that GM sporter barrel checked out.

That was yrs ago. The new SK Pistol Match is shooting just as good if not better. My Douglas barrel is tearing this new SK Pistol Match up. Loves it. Kidd barrels are real close.

Douglas barrel Joe Chacon built for me.
