Eley Semi-Auto Benchrest Precision 22LR Ammo is engineered for shooters who demand consistent performance from their semi-automatic rifles. This 40-grain round nose load bridges the gap between standard velocity and match-grade, offering the reliability needed for semi-auto function with the accuracy required for serious target work. Since we started stocking it in spring 2025, it has become a steady seller, and we now maintain a minimum of 20 boxes in our Cape Girardeau warehouse to prevent backorders.

Your Questions Answered
Is this ammo suitable for bolt-action or lever-action rifles?
Yes. While it is specifically engineered for reliable cycling in semi-autos, its consistent performance makes it an excellent choice for any precision .22 LR application, including bolt-actions.
Why does this ammo cost more than standard velocity .22 LR?
The price reflects the higher level of manufacturing control, component quality, and testing required to achieve the consistency and reliability that defines Eley’s Benchrest Precision line. It is a purpose-built product, not bulk plinking ammo.
How does it perform in suppressed firearms?
Its subsonic velocity from a rifle-length barrel makes it very effective with suppressors. The clean-burning powder also helps minimize gas and residue blowback, which is a common concern in suppressed semi-autos.
