Engineered for Distance

Long range rimfire has grown fast thanks to NRL22, PRS rimfire and extreme range challenges. At those distances, small differences in velocity turn into large differences in vertical impact. ELEY designed the Ultra line to minimize that spread, so shooters can build reliable dope charts and trust their holds past 100 yards.

ELEY lists a maximum radial standard deviation of about 4.00 mm for this load, placing it close to Tenex in consistency. Velocity stays inside a tight standard window, keeping the bullet below the turbulent transonic zone that can destabilize faster ammunition at longer ranges.

The EP2723 lube is a modern formula that leaves less residue in the chamber and on the bolt face than traditional wax lubes. That makes it a good fit for both bolt action precision rifles and well built semi-autos used in rimfire precision matches.

Field Notes and Long Range Tips

Build your dope with Eley Ultra Extreme Long Range 22LR ammo from the exact lot you plan to shoot in competition. Record your elevation at 50, 100, 150 and 200 yards, and confirm with a chronograph if you have one, since rimfire velocity changes with temperature.

Wind is the biggest challenge at long range with a 22. A 40 grain bullet drifts significantly in even light breezes, so watch flags, mirage and grass movement and practice holding off rather than dialing for quick shots.

Rifles often show a preference for one lot over another. Test a few boxes, then buy a supply from the best lot so your data stays valid all season. Keep the chamber clean and fire a few fouling shots after cleaning before you start recording groups.

Store your ammunition at moderate, stable temperatures and keep it out of direct sun on the firing line to reduce velocity swings during a match.

If you shoot NRL22, rimfire PRS or simply love ringing steel at distance with a 22, Eley Ultra Extreme Long Range 22LR is a proven choice for consistent results. Protect your lot with a quality ammo box and keep your rifle clean with a dedicated rimfire solvent.

A quality scope with repeatable turrets and clear reticle holds makes the most of this ammunition. Many rimfire precision shooters use a 20 MOA canted base or rings so they have enough elevation to reach 200 yards and beyond without running out of adjustment. Confirm that your scope tracks true by shooting a tall target test before you build your data.

Practice from field positions such as barricades, tripods and rear bags, since those are common in NRL22 and similar matches. Consistent ammunition lets you trust that misses come from position or wind reading, which helps you improve faster.
