for most dudes not familiar with eley mfgr process, read this part again;
"I'm not allowed to tell you how they did everything they did, but even in summary it's one of the most impressive achievements I've seen in my 30 years in this business. Eley engineers identified 50 primary variables--basics like bullet mass, case internal volume, and propellant charge mass.
Then they determined 200 secondary variables--things like the ambient humidity in the assembly facility, the metallurgy of the cases, human competence. Finally, they identified 700 tertiary variables--subtle things the TenEx project manager told me turned out to be the ultimate keys to getting things really up to "the TenEx level." For example: weather conditions in the country where the propellant powder is manufactured on the day that particular lot of powder was mixed. (Yes, Eley actually adjusts the TenEx loading profile for each powder lot based on this and other equally subtle considerations. The same is true of the other end of the process; manufacturing "lots" of TenEx consist of one day's run from a single loading machine because the weather is different each day.)
In other words, their engineers see approximately 950 variables, to making
good 22 ammo. Does anyone here think that remmy or winny or even cci goes to this much trouble? and CCi/ parent company makes proly most, if not all civilian/military rocket/missile/ booster fuels, to include the Shuttle.
To Jimbo, I never thought i would say this; but since that article was written so long ago, and we know back then that some writers not only had prejudices along various lines, but were easily paid a bit of extra money, to say this and that about various other brands or types of rifles and ammo, it was a regular occurence. Just like Rock n roll and all the payola.
30 years ago, a lot of old school writers, especially if they were allready old themselves, did not care for " foreign" stuff being compared favorably to.
Eley, Lapua, Rws/ Diana, and Dynamit Nobel, all make the finest 22 ammo out there, no doubt, and Eley has won more matches and Olypic stuff over the past 100 years, than proly all other ammo makers combined.
I have also used their stuff in the remmy boxes, I have used most of the
Aguila line, and also Golden Eagle, which is american made, when I can find it.
I can honestly say, that all their stuff, never shoots bad, nor even average, but is usually a top 5 performer or the best period, in all my rifles or pistols.
And I shoot a lot of diff 22 rifles and pistols, and am never dissed by an Eley product.
As an added bonus? I enjoy that wonderful sickly sweet Eley smell,
there is no other ammo that smells like it. " smells like.... victory..."
and you know what? It mostly ends up victorious.
Where in Europe are you if I might be so nosy?
