I like Eley Target and when I can find it on sale it is my baseline ammo used to compare to others when I test ammo. I shoot pistols only so my results might differ from yours. Here is a 10 meter air pistol target set at 25 yards using Eley Target in a Volquartsen Scorpion.

I have never used SK ammo but, if it is indeed the same ammo as Wolf, I can recommend it. Not top grade but very good.

 

I've used a lot of Eley Club and have no complaints at all.

 

Eley Club has performed considerably better for me than Target. I have an unopened 5,000 round case of Target, different lot, so I guess I should try it and see if it shoots better than the previous lot. It is probably just the specifics of my barrel and its preferences. If Target shoots well for you, I can offer a deal on a case.

 

Eley Target is a lower grade of Eley Club.

That said, Eley Target has been my normal silhouette ammunition since it came out in 2008. In those 9 years I have not had any malfunctions with it and have not missed one single silhouette target, regardless of size, that I can blame on the ammo quality.

 

For me Club shoots slightly better than Target. But they don't shoot as good as the SK Rifle Match does. I've haven't tried Standard Plus.

 

Chronograph data

Is there a significant precision difference between Eley Target and Eley Club? Also, is there a significant difference, with respect to precision, between SK Std and SK Match?

I will not address precision, but rather consistency, which is related.

I have tested 50-round boxes of the four ammo types mentioned above through my CZ455 Training Rifle and my CZ455 Varmint (50 rounds per test), with the following results for Muzzle Velocity (MV), Extreme Spread (ES), and Standard Deviation (SD):

Eley Club #3115-30123:
MV: 1039/1095
ES: 47/75
SD: 15.55/10.79

Eley Target #3115-30099:
MV: 1060/1098
ES: 42/34
SD: 7.02/6.37

SK Standard Plus #060 51/1 123 1:
MV: 1019/1082
ES: 42/44
SD: 8.38/8.81

SK Standard Plus #079 50/2 154 4:
MV: 1035/1054
ES: 47/49
SD: 12.20/9.76

SK Rifle Match #029 50/2 042 1:
MV: 1029/1062
ES: 62.7/53
SD: 9.53/9.96

These results are significant to me because the rifles are the ones I shoot. They may not, of course, be significant to others- that's why most of us test our own ammo.

But as one may see from comparing my results, my rifles do better with CERTAIN LOTS of Eley Target than with Eley Club, and they do better with CERTAIN LOTS of SK+ than with my single lot of SK Match.

I have also observed similar results with NormaUSA Tac22 versus NormaUSA Match22. All three lots of my Tac22 perform better than my single lot of Match22 that I have tested.

This has also pointed out to me that variations between lots of mid-grade (~$0.15) ammo are often greater than discrepancies between ammos labeled Target or Match from the same manufacturer.

And it turns out that the four types cited by the Original Poster perform similarly to one another in my rifles.

 

I only tried a single brick of Eley Target but it "seems" that SK does better in my lever action rimfires used for silhouette.

With my (four) Marlins and 1 Uberti it seems that the higher dollar the ammo the better it shoots. Just a generality and not a strictly true rule.

 

Thanks for the input guys. Interesting lack of correlation between ammo price, reported precision and tested MV. I guess "precision is where you find it".

 

In my experience, the differences in the ammos mentioned here is more about lot to lot variation than variation from one brick to another of different ammos.

 

SK Match is my go to mid price ammo..

 

All good

They're all good. Find the lot of which ever shoots best in YOUR gun and buy all of that lot# you can get your hands on. "Yeah that's the ticket".
