More about the Eley Semi-Auto Benchrest Precision .22 LR 40 Grain Round Nose Ammo

Engineered for the shooter who demands the absolute pinnacle of consistency from their semi-automatic rifle, the Eley Semi-Auto Benchrest Precision .22LR Ammo represents a dedicated solution for a specific challenge. This 40-grain round nose cartridge is not your standard bulk-pack .22LR. It is a purpose-built match round, designed from the ground up to deliver exceptional accuracy and flawless function in semi-automatic actions. It is the ideal choice for competitive benchrest shooters, serious rimfire enthusiasts, and anyone whose semi-auto rifle is used for precision tasks where a failure to feed or eject is as costly as a flyer. By focusing on the unique dynamics of semi-auto cycling, Eley has created a round that bridges the gap between ultimate precision and absolute reliability.

Key Features

• Optimized for Semi-Auto Actions: The powder burn rate, pressure curve, and case coating are specifically tuned to ensure consistent cycling and reliable ejection in semi-automatic rifles, without sacrificing the clean-burning characteristics demanded for accuracy.
• Benchrest-Grade Consistency: Built on the legacy of ELEY tenex, this cartridge undergoes stringent manufacturing controls for minimal variation in weight, dimensions, and propellant charge, resulting in exceptionally tight velocity spreads and superior shot-to-shot consistency.
• 40-Grain Round Nose Profile: The 40-grain projectile provides a stable ballistic coefficient for consistent flight, while the round nose design promotes reliable feeding from the magazine into the chamber—a critical factor for semi-auto function.
• Enhanced Case Engineering: Features specialized priming and case construction for uniform ignition, coupled with a proprietary lubrication that reduces fouling and ensures smooth operation through the action cycle.
• Precision-Tuned Ballistics: Every element, from the bullet seating depth to the crimp, is calibrated to produce a harmonious ballistic profile that maximizes accuracy potential in a semi-automatic platform.
• Dedicated R&D Focus: This is not a repurposed bolt-action round. It is the product of continuous research and development specifically into the science of semi-automatic target shooting.
