I've had my CZ-452 American for almost 2 years and so far have only shot bulk ammo through it...with OK results.
I finally gathered up some decent ammo to compare how they shot through the gun.
*Wolf Match (MidwayUSA $5.19 / 50rds)
*SK Rifle Match (MidwayUSA $7.99 / 50rds)
*Eley Match 50 (MidwayUSA $14.79 / 50rds)
*CCI Mini Mag (WalMart...8 bucks a hundred?, i forget)
I set the targets at 50 yards in a stand about chest-high.
The gun sat on a Caldwell "The Rock" rest with a small bag at the rear.
On Saturday the 7th, I shot this first set of targets.
There was no precip at the time, and winds were very calm.
Temps were about 40F +/-.
These are all 3 shot groups.

Below are the targets from the next day, with the same weather conditions.
The target at 5:00 has some junk shot by mistake. It has 5x of SK and 5x of Eley. Finally 5 rounds of CCI to use up what I had left.

A few take-aways....
*The 1st (11:00) spot on each target is consistently better than the others. Interesting!
*I was mostly impressed with Wolf, but bummed about the fliers.
*I thought CCI would be better than this.
*It was very clear that the CCI bullets were hitting the target much faster than the rest.
*SSK and Eley shot about the same, but SSK is almost half the cost.
The winning ammo for that weekend is SK, IMHO.
I ordered 500rds of SK and look forward to testing it against other ammo.
If you have any good suggestions, please let me know.
