Try here grab a few boxes of a few different ones and try them out, what my rifle likes might not be what yours likes. I started with sk std+ and wolf, mine liked the std + better and then stepped up to lapua center x and eley black box and mine liked the center x better, but gonna try some more for sure.

Good luck finding some and if you can come up for the monthlt match on the 25th, its a blast and should be a big turnout.

Order some SK or Wolf and get started. Either will not embarrass you.

I shoot a Kimber and it likes the Lapua Center X the best, when I do my part.

Yes start here for good match ammo for some trigger time and to get used to the rifle. Then move up.

To get a lot of the good ammo u gonna have to order online...links above are good ...your normal local gun shop...Wal-Mart etc aint gonna carry the good stuff because the great unwashed public is not will to spend $ for quality as a general rule. Buy 2 boxes of what every you wanna try and shoot groups....dial in with some cheaper stuff first

You'll be amazed how much better a gun can shoot with something besides bulk Rem yellow jackets...

who knows maybe you'll get lucky and your gun will like cheaper ammo...

Its gonna take some time and shootn to figure it out...don't think you gonna get it "done" in a range session or two

Good Luck

Order a brick of SK today from champion shooters supply (link above). You'll have it this week. Great ammo to begin your journey with, and a good value. I like the "rifle match", but most folks shoot the Standard + with equal results.

I would not order bricks till I had a good idea how it shot...Order several 50 rd boxes of a brand to try...more than one kind...

7 or 8 kinds...it will be pricey...so what...after you cull some...start thinking brick

Save the Eley Black! You're not going to want to shoot anything else!
