I’ve got a old CZ 452 in .22 mag and it’s one of my favorite rifles.
I have a 452 in .17HMR and its stupid accurate. No scope needed on that one.
among the nicest vids I see on the net.....................................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree, Buff does a good job on these.
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Your rooster was sure letting everyone know important he thinks he is
I do enjoy your videos !!!
I love the no excuses. It is what it is man
Absolutely. Thanks!
👍👍
Thank yee!
Hey WTW
@@waterweirdo9285 hey
Hey Y'all 👍
These CZ rifles are smoking hot right out of box. I love watching your videos, I feel like I'm watching Kentucky Afield😛. This Wolf ammo impressed me A lot. Thanks for this series it's been great
I always appreciate ya swingin by my KY brother!
CZ rifles are usually very accurate, I had one that was not, but it was the exception. It is my understanding that Wolf match >22 L.R ammo is actually produced by Eley, which is some of the most accurate rimfire ammo available.
Good job...That wolf ammo is good.
Good stuff, your technique and marksmanship, excellent.
Thanks for watching and especially for the comment. Much appreciated!
I've been told that Wolf Match was lights out accurate and I am now a believer! Thanks Buffalo and God bless ya brother!🙏✝️👍🇺🇸✌
If I hadn't thrown a couple of those shots this stuff would have had a MUCH higher score than what it had. I was impressed as well.
Man there ain't a jackrabbit safe in Kentucky . excellent shootn buffalo
Haha!~ Thanks Mike!
You have jackrabbit in Kentucky .went to Wyoming and saw my first jack ,could not believe how big they are.
@@danielobriot3116 haha yea , ya wanna go snipe huntn those suckers are hard to catch
I’m just impressed you have ammo to shoot! Nice!
Another great video! My son and I are really enjoying the series. We're hoping the Wolf Match Extra makes the top 3. It's always been our go-to "precision" ammo.
Thanks my friend. I am glad you guys are enjoying this series. The Wolf match extra did make the top three and I don't want to spoil it for ya but it doesn't stay there long.... the Eley Team video is up on Patreon.....
@@buffalosoutdoors Haha! I'll still watch with great anticipation ; -) But you should have a follow-up with the best three under $??
Awesome video!! Love accurate.22 rifles!
Thanks!
Thanks for replying!!
Love the close-up of the target and the chronograph
All squirrels, rabbits, or ground hogs in the stew pot. Every shot. I'd call that a winning combo of gun,ammo, and shooter.👍👍
Thanks Gary!
Great shooting, thanks for taking the time to test out all these different brands of ammo. God bless.
You're very welcome thanks for the comment!
Wow!!!! That ammo is not only accurate but very consistent!
Thank you and thanks for tuning in!
Awesome grouping Buffalo and thanks for showing us with this video.
I've been spending a lot of time with my .22 rifles and pistols. It seems like the biggest factor for my rifles is the velocity. Thanks for the video.
Glad you enjoy the .22 stuff. It's almost the only thing that I can shoot right now! LOL Thanks for the comment.
@@buffalosoutdoors I think that the mental focus with my .22s has helped me improve with the other calibers as well. Even slowing down with other platforms, and being hyper deliberate has done more than just blasting 500 rounds in a day at the range. Thanks again.
@@seanomeirs8362 I absolutely 100% agree!
@Jeff Scuderi My Ruger 10/22 is a tack driver with around 1100 fps, and CCI Quiet. The first time I shot Hyper velocity ammo, I was shocked at how the groups opened up. Every other .22 that I have has a favorite that stands out, even if it is cheap/ bulk. ie Remington Thunderbolt ($18 for 500 rds.)
@Jeff Scuderi I've never shot anything bigger than a rabbit with a .22.
Impressive, I've always thought of Wolf as a cheap low grade plinking ammo
Sounds like less than a minute of squirrel to me!
Glad Dayattherange sent me.
That wolf ammo impressed me!
It done well!~
Really surprised how well that shot. Thanks Buffalo
Thanks Darrell! I appreciate you watchin!
Very slick production ! Even the quick banjo 🪕 music was fun !!
Thanks for the detailed videos and using the mtr. I am looking to pick one up and this is very helpful.
Performance of the ammo was impressive.
Love these videos. Thanks for including the chronograph footage, that alone has a lot of value.
Glad you like them!
I love watching this testing, that 4th group 💥 was great! thanks for the video Buffalo
Glad to hear you like them! I got 3 more to go! Thanks!
Great shooting, great ammo, great video! Thanks!
I agree with the remarks about flyers. Nice shootin, Mr. Crouch! I pray all is well with you and yours.
Thanks Bill! This ammo has a lot of potential. I am kinda hoping nothing knocks it off the bubble so I can see how it does in the finals.
@@buffalosoutdoors Even if it fails the cut, I'd give it another look-see even if it doesn't hit the interweb. It looks to be a tack driver. This ammo is flirting with the sound barrier. That makes your 50 yd. target a real world criterion. It's a cryin' shame you can't reload rimfire ammo.
Thanks Buffalo!! 👍
That last groups velocity were all around 1135 to 1145 except for that flyer which was 1117. Super shooting again. Loving this series sir.
That is a good observation that I didn't even notice. That explains why it was more susceptible to the wind as it was in the wind longer. Thanks for the great comment I appreciate it.
Outstanding Brother
Great Video. I just bought the 457 LRP and will test it tomorrow for the first time. I dont't have the Wolf ammo, but a whole bunch of SK and Eley☝🏻😊 I really can't wait to shoot it🤤
Since Buffalo has introduced us (me) to this firearm I have been seeing it from time to time in other videos. I have yet to hear anything negative about it and now I have it on a short list (I have a very long short list) of guns to acquire. I have become very fond of these particular videos. This is the ideal 22 LR rifle test bed to test brands and loadings. It's very impressive how many so-called MOA or "sub"-MOA AR-15's that cost over $1500 would have a very difficult time keeping up with this humble CZ 457. Different animals, I understand, but just sayin'.
Hey buddy thanks for the comment. I am glad to get the credit for introducing this rifle to some folks. I really do like it. I kinda wish I had went with a different scope as the Sightron SII just isn't doing it for me, I don't like the dot in the reticle, I wish it was just a fine cross hair. Great scope otherwise. It's always good to hear from you and I think you would really like this rifle!
Eley is pound for pound the best 22lr ammo money can buy followed closely by CCI
I also had similar results with that ammunition. It was the best load I found in several rifles. Not cheap but not terribly expensive either.
Good to hear. I agree with your statement as well.
Really good batch of ammo. Deviation was really close, accuracy great!
It did do really will and if not for a couple of flyers that were likely my fault it would have scored much higher! I see why a lot of guys throw those flyers out now...LOL
@@buffalosoutdoors Yes, I always throw out at least 2 or 3 flyers from every 5 shot group.... that puts me in Olympic company for group size! 🤣
Awesome series your doing here. Thanks.
Thank you! Glad you are enjoying it!
Nice work!!
Love these videos. Always heard wolf as decent. I’ll have to try it in my 452 varmint. Thanks Buffalo.
Glad you like them! The Wolf stuff seems good to me!
this is so nice. stay safe and see you around!
I have a CZ 455 Full Stock model, and it shoot Eley ammo lights out. It really likes the Eley Force. It's a 42 grain HV, but inside of 50 yards it's a tack driver.
Awesome video, great to see all the different 22lr ammo and how they perform. 👍👍
Thanks! I got 3 more of these to go. I'll be glad to get to the finale!
Impressive for wolf! 👍😃✌️🇺🇸
I agree! Thanks!
Great video!
Thank you and nice shoot!
Thank you!
had some fun with wolf poly 223 yesterday was very good stuff
Nice!
Who knew Eley makes that stuff and it doesnt come in a steel case!? Lol! Great work as usual. I'm envious of you having a range. I had one years ago at my parents house and I miss it daily.
Thanks Joe! I am truly blessed to have a little spot to be able to shoot. Sometimes I wish it was bigger so I could stretch it out a little bit but then I get comments like yours and it makes me thankful to have what I've got.
@@buffalosoutdoors out here people shoot on public land out in the desert. We have Indian reservations around us and since I havent lived here long I dont know exactly where to not go so I dont want to risk it. I'm thinking about getting a pellet gun and building a backyard range for me and my kids.
Loving the MTR video's great shooting. I have not seen any wolf ammo in about 5 years. NICE SHOOTING
Thanks for tuning in! That older Wolf .22 ammo was made by Lapua. I wonder what the difference would be? If you can source some of the older stuff I will be happy to send you a couple boxes of the newer stuff so you can do us a comparison.
@@buffalosoutdoors I have two boxes of the very old made in Germany Wolf Match Extra ammo left. 😲
Hi. Noticed the bullet on the pack at the start had lead shaved off of the projectile. Also good to see you utilizing the Chronograph.
noticed that the third & fourth group that shot best only had a velocity variation of 20/22fps. I have tested all ammo i use & club members to ensure we get something that consistently shoots around these speeds. Eley are always on the lean side with their velocity's. long way out on this batch though. good to see you enjoy your shooting.
You and I agree, Very much so, The SK Jag and Wolf brand ammunition is the best buy. also, the CZ line of rimfires can not be beaten as a quality price point. solid ammunition and a solid rifle. You could spend more, But why?- Dave
Thanks Dave! All good products for sure!
The quotethat was some wolf is some howling good Ammo
Hey I like that! I should have added a wolf howl in the video somewhere!
It shot about the same in my MTR. Accurate except for several flyers. In mine Eley target was more consistent. So far Tenex has been the best. My scope broke so I am on hold. Looking forward to seeing your final test.
That's good info! I didn't have any luck with the Tenex, I know it's good ammo but this rifle didn't like it or maybe I was just having a bad shooting day.
I have a CZ 455 ultra lux. That 28" barrel with iron sights can shoot a quarter size group at 100 yards easily. Def get what you pay for. Too bad Remington didnt have the quality standards that CZ has. Otherwise they wouldn't have went under. They're expensive but worth every cent.
Hello Kentucky Backwoods! I like your avatar pic. I love to turkey hunt and ain't no better place to do it than in the KY woods. You're right CZ has good QC~
Really enjoying this series. Your multi camera views make it very interesting. I always like doing the same sort of thing with my handloads.
Glad to hear that you are enjoying this series. I am anxious to get to the finale but it's hard to find calm days to shoot on this time of year. It seems like all the good shooting days are days that I am stuck at work! LOL
Great video again Buffalo! Just waiting for a little warmer weather to try the Wolf in my RPR. After these 10, the 3 top or so weighted, measured would be nice. Thanks Buffalo!!
I am thinking along those lines as well. I'd like to go all out in the finale! Thanks!
Pretty darn accurate rifle and ammo, I love the way you drifted the chronograph and target to the screen. Awesome editing and good flow to the video brother. Nice work. 👍
Thanks Rick! Always good to here from you man! Glad you liked the editing. It takes a while to get all that just right but I like the results I get on the finished video.
Swear that looks like 100 yards. Still good.
Really appreciate you keeping on with the testing on this gun with ammo so hard to find. I've bought that rifle and saving for quality scope. With ammo so scarce this test will help me find the best top 3-4 to try in mine. Thank you, btw excellent shooting
You're very welcome! I hope the testing does help. I know each rifle is different but you can see with the chronograph which ammos are the most consistent and start there. Glad you are enjoying the series!
I shot a 10 shot group with my Ruger Precision Rimfire using Wolf Match Target that measured 0.458 at 50 yards.
Looks like a few drop below 1120 and those are the fliers.
nice shooting
Thanks!
When I had my CZ American I shot Wolf Match Extra exclusively, due to cost. When I moved up to My 1710 Anchutz I continued shooting It. I never tried a .22 competition target with my CZ but I did with my Anshutz. It never fell under 245 and has shot one target that was a true 249 and some at our range said if was 250, 250 being a perfect score? Both my CZ and My Annie were sporter qualified as well. The bottom line is Wolf Match Extra is good ammunition if they haven;'t changed it like federal did their Gold Metal Match ammunitition.
Great video. Good shootin. I love this series.
Nice shooting!
Excellent shooting and very thorough test. My MTR prefers high velocity ammo for some reason and shoots CCI Blazer (shocking, I know) the best. Out of the premium ammo I have tried it prefers Eley Hi velocity Hollow to the others.
That is interesting. It is funny how each rifle prefers a certain ammo over the others.
my 452s 2nd favorite ammo !!
IT's good stuff!
Really appreciate this video, just bought 10,000 rounds. One suggestion you have a lot of position changes from your right hand placement to your left hand placement. Some times during the shot I see your thumb on top and others your left hand moves......meaning the different pressures on the stock of the rifle will change impact on the .22 and change the speed of that round. Would love to shoot with you.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
that stuff is running at half a minute of squirrel. Great video as always Buffalo! the next series you do should be blindfolded so you don't make all of us feel so inadequate in our group sizes...lol
GOD BLESS SAINTS AND PATRIOTS
As always, great video!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great testing and results....Good stuff....
Thanks Scott, you the man!
@@buffalosoutdoors I wish I was....LOL...Thanks....
Watching your accurate 22 videos gave me the bug, it looked like so much fun. Late last year I went and bought a Ruger Precision 22. I had a lot of fun with it until it got to cold in northern Ohio to shoot. Luckily I had some 22 ammunition because the sales guy laughed when I asked him where he kept the ammo. They have a small amount in stock now, but at ridiculous prices.
Man you don't know how close I came to getting the Ruger .22 Precision when I was looking for a .22 that I could shoot some good groups with. I ended up with this CZ 457 by chance. I had it narrowed down to those 2 rifles and the shop sold out of the Ruger the day before I bought the CZ! Yeah ammo is crazy. I am seeing 500 round bricks going for nearly 200 dollars locally. I can't pay that.
@@buffalosoutdoors They didn’t have a CZ when I was looking, it’s a nice looking rifle I really like wood stocks. I look at the price of 22 ammo today and just shake my head and walk away. Hopefully things will come back to normal soon.
I believe in all your testing the difference is small for all the ammo tested so far. It looks bad for those $25 dollar a box twenty two shells. There might be more than one winner if you count the cost into the final results. This series of videos is more fun to watch than the Super Bowl. It is for me anyhow.
Glad you tuned in. I didn't even know the Superbowl was today until I got some comments about it. I am not much of a team sports guy. I like watching boxing or MMA from time to time but even then I am just a casual fan. Thanks for the comment you know I always appreciate ya man. You're one of the ones that I always look forward to reading the comment.
Love the hat!!!!!! keep up the great content.
Not sure if you can get that here in the uk , but eley are going through a bad patch here due to the inconsistancy in the subsonic 38g ammo as it is now , my local rfd / gunshop have stopped getting it in until they sort it out as have a few more that i know of , they seem to have had problems with it since altering it from the original 40g ammo which was fantastic , but that wolf ammo is looking good , just checked not available in the uk at present time
Great. Are you cleaning the barrel between tests and do you think the cold was responsible for the increased speed from their 1050fps?
I learned two things today here, first is that this Wolf ammo. is made by Eley, ( I was lead to believe that Wolf was a Russian made ammunition. )
And second that this is more accurate than SK , that is pretty good shooting.
Nice shooting Buffalo. That one flier on the 5th target was probably due to ammo...I noticed the velocity of that shot was only 1117 but the other 4 were 1136 to 1140. Also, I had no idea the Wolf .22 ammo was made by Ely, good to know.
Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate it. I didn't realize the velocity was off that much on that last flyer until you and a few others on here pointed it out. That makes me feel better about it...LOL Yeah it is made by Eley now, it used to be made by Lapua in Germany.
Hook up a barrel tuner on your MTR and maximize the ammo-rifle potential. I guess that could be another whole new series of videos
Yeah that would change the results and I'd have to start all over...lol not necessarily a bad thing though. Maybe that is something I will do later on after I get through with this series. Thanks for the suggestion!
I wish I could find some target ammo right now... I have three fairly precise .22’s and the best ammo I have is CCI Standard Velocity, and I may have just shot my last box yesterday :(
Times are tough that's for sure. All my sources have dried up as well. Either that or they have it priced out of my budget.
@@buffalosoutdoors I luckily found that I have about 1400 rounds of Federal Auto Match- that’s probably the best “target” ammo I have left. I keep looking but haven’t seen any target ammo from my sources for a couple months.
Hello buddy have a great day...
Thanks my friend! Hope you do as well!
@@buffalosoutdoors who you rooting for today...super owl...
Nice ...
Thanks!
If your a very cheap bastard like I am and like to shoot entirely too much, I have a couple of tools for you to look at.
1. The Neal Waltz rimfire resizing die. Expensive but suitable for reforming a lot of 22lr in a hurry.
2. Pacotools rimfire resizing die. A little cheaper but more adaptable than the Neal Waltz, it is much slower though.
Both will make the bullets more uniform in diameter, with the Pacotools giving a selection of finished sizes. They can also produce hollow point and wadcutter bullet styles.
I've had really good luck with wolf match extra. In fact I would go so far as to say that if your rifle won't shoot that ammo your rifles garbage. I've always got my best groups with wolf match extra. If you stop cleaning your bore and only shoot that ammo those satellites will go away.
..mv was higher than stated and was around sub- to supersonic which might be responsible for the fliers? Good shooting and video!
Would your first three groups have been better if you had fired a few rounds beforehand to season the barrel to this ammo?
Hmmm perhaps not for youtube but If I was you I would try that ammo some more. Really consistent in speed and some of those groups are really good. I think it has potential. I have never seen that ammo, and we get Eley here. Good shootin Sir!
Yeah I agree, this ammo showed potential in this rifle. Those flyers could have been just me and probably were. Thanks for the comment!
I got some of that a couple weeks ago, and it was nice looking ammo. I had some serious flyers out of my MTR at 50 yards. Made me want to try again, because wasn't sure if I was just having an off day.
I had some flyers too. I think it's pretty decent ammo though.
@@buffalosoutdoors Yeah, but mine were in the 2" range for a couple of them, and they felt/seemed like good shots.
@@jamieweirdworld Oh I see. That does make a difference.
That's really good for slightly higher velocity ammo.
Thanks! I thought it done pretty good.
Wolf was the best in my testing, in it’s price range. Some of the Lapua I tested was slightly better in my rifle, but not enough to justify 2x the price
Good point about price range. So far the I've gotten the best 5 shot 5 group average from SK Standard Plus which was the 2nd least expensive ammo I have tested.
I've shot a lot of Wolf Match Target & SK Standard Plus (Both are the exact same round) in my Marlin model 60 and it is also a very accurate round that is if your barrel likes it.
The new wolf stuff is made by Eley. The old stuff could have been the same as the SK since it was made along side it in the Lapua plant.
Like the way you shot. One at a time let the barrel cool a little. Then You have to try to shoot the same spot.
Thanks! I am glad you enjoyed the video!
Good info. I wondered how that one would do. I had heard good things about it. May be time to build a 50 yard pole barn to get out of the wind. LOL. Just kidding. Good stuff!
Great videos! T.Y.
Wud luv to see a Marlin 60 or 795 vs CZ. I hav old, old, old marlin81-DL bolt that my brothers said was most accurate they ever shot! I'll giv that Wolf a try, as your channel as well as others video's prove it . (Did I mention it was old? (Laffing :-D )
In general you can assume that ammo will shoot the same at a later date. Different lots of the same ammo can and do differ in performance from time to time in my experience.
Absolutely!
In better conditions I bet the farm that's good ammo for that rifle.
