Ammo for no8 trainer

Hi I have a no8 trainer and was wondering if anyone here has had any experience using different kinds of ammo in one as it effects acuracy. I know that I could probably use some Eley or other target ammo and get exelent results but what cheap ammo works best in one. Thanks Alan Abramson

Hi smlemk111, a warm welcome to you, enjoy the forums

I have been trying different brands of cheaper ammo in my various .22 trainers, here are the results with my no. 8 at 12metres.

These groups were fired without using any benchrests( apart from my elbows) and are not very scientific i know, but i hope they are of interest to you.

Value .22 match. Dont think this is available in USA, but i was told this is repackaged Eley ammo, unless any of the Brits here know different???

Mine really likes the lesser expensive Wolf match target.
