ELEY Semi-Auto Benchrest Precision Ammunition: 22 LR, 40 gr, RN, Model 01180

The benchmark in semi-auto benchrest shooting.

ELEY semi-auto benchrest precision ammunition has been developed using the same world-renowned engineering expertise that drives the performance of ELEY tenex, the benchmark in .22LR target rounds. A new standard for semi-automatic benchrest competition.

The round-nose design enhances smooth chambering and consistent ballistics, while ELEY’s uncompromising approach to quality control guarantees the tightest tolerances. Each round is manufactured to perform identically to the last, providing shooters with the confidence and repeatability required to excel in precision shooting disciplines. ELEY understands accuracy, consistency, and reliability are not optional, they are essential.

Strike depth

• The diagram below displays a cartridge case that has been shot. The indent, where the firing pin has hit the cartridge, is called a strike.
• It is important to measure the strike depth on the cartridge because this is the point where the primer is activated.
• A minimum strike depth is necessary to transmit sufficient energy to the primer to cause its ignition and ensure that the cartridge does not misfire.
• The ideal strike depth for an ELEY cartridge is between 0.012–0.015 in. This depth can be measured using a strike depth gauge.

Batch numbers

Every box of ELEY ammunition has a specific number code printed on the end panel of the box.

The code relates to the grade of the product, manufacturing year, the loader on which it was produced, the batch number, and the average velocity of the ammunition across four barrels during the proofing process.

• 10 = Loaded product
• 26 = Year of manufacture
• 04 = Loader number
• 244 = Batch number for loader
• 1045 = Mean velocity across four barrels
