The Eley Sport STD Velocity .22 LR 40 gr (50) is a target-grade rimfire cartridge delivering consistent performance at a good value. Key specs include:

• Bullet weight: 40 grains (2.59 g)

• Bullet profile: Round nose

• Cartridge length: 25.4 mm (1″)

• Lubricant: Beeswax‑tallow (helps with smooth feeding and chambering)

• Packaging: Boxes of 50 rounds (some vendors offer bricks of 500 or cases of 5000 as well)

• Rimfire ammo performance can vary significantly by rifle; always test different brands/lots to see what your rifle “likes.”

  “The biggest factor for accuracy I’ve found is the ammo you put in it.

• Changing brands often requires “re-lubing” the barrel with the new ammo’s lubricant—usually after 10–20 rounds—to achieve optimal accuracy.

  “It can take quite a few rounds to shoot out the previous brand’s lube and recoat the bore with the current brand’s lube.

• Eley’s waxy lubricant can leave residue in magazines, but it generally doesn’t impact performance unless in very cold conditions. Occasional cleaning is all that’s needed.

  “Lubricant applied to .22LR ammunition is to ease chambering… Without the wax, the bullet can lose velocity and accuracy.

• Many shooters praise standard-velocity elite-brand ammo for reliability and accuracy compared to bulk, high-velocity rounds at typical competition distances.

  “Standard velocity ammo like SK, Eley, Lapua… will always out‑shoot high‑velocity ammo out to 50 yards.

• Eley Sport often provides excellent performance for entry-level shooters and value-conscious competitors.

  “Aguila & Eley sport is my go‑to.”
