Whereas the Wolf logo typically denotes a steel cased thing from the heart of Mother Russia, Wolf Match Target ammunition is manufactured by ELEY in the United Kingdom. They have been in business since the brothers Eley founded the operation in the 1820s, and have since become true blue 22 LR specialists. In 1951 ELEY introduced their Tenex technology that enables them to craft rimfire ammunition with the utmost consistency -- it is part of the reason why their team dominated at the British Championship and the Grand Aggregate shooting events that very year.

This extremely accurate 22 LR cartridge sports a 40 grain projectile, the weight that any rimfire aficionado is already greatly familiar with. The lead round nose bullet is an affordable one, as it eschews any copper from its design, and its aerodynamic meplat and uniformly distributed weight leave it able to keep a very consistent trajectory.

If you've heard of Wolf Performance Ammunition before, then you probably associate it with budget-priced, steel-cased pistol and rifle ammo from Russia. While that's usually the case, the Wolf label also includes some premium rimfire ammo, like this 22 long rifle target match load.

Unlike the Wolf center fire offerings, this 22 ammo is brass-cased and made in Germany. It features a plain lead round-nose bullet. And comes packaged in small boxes of 50 rounds each. The bulk pack contains 10 of these smaller boxes, for a total of 500 cartridges.

Most rimfire ammo uses some kind of protective lubricant on the bullet, usually a type of wax. Wolf Target Match, on the other hand, has a thin coat of some kind of oil on the bullet. This makes the ammo a little slippery and can make it slightly more difficult to load magazines, depending on how stiff the magazine's springs are.

But aside from this minor complaint, this ammo performed well above expectations. We fired a few hundred rounds through six different firearms, three pistols and three rifles. Reliability was exceptional, with no misfires, light primer strikes, or feeding and ejection failures in any of the test guns.

As impressive as the reliability was, the place this ammo really shines is in the accuracy department. We shot a 10-round group at 50 yards, using a Ruger 10/22 target rifle, on a bipod, with a fixed four power scope. With very little effort, we were able to get a group that measured just a hair over one inch.

For comparison, this is even better than the group we shot with the same rifle, using the respected CCI Mini-Mag ammo. There are plenty of less expensive .22 loads out there. But if accuracy is what you're going for, then this Wolf Target Match is one of the best factory rimfire loads available.
