TOP 3 SHOWDOWN! STANDARD PLUS vs FLATNOSE MATCH vs PISTOL MATCH SPECIAL

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Shooting begins at 10:31 for those that are not interested in the back story. Thanks for watching ~ Buffalo

[@thisisgonnahurt2574]

Hello fellow Kentuckian.. I was wondering if you would be willing to pattern federal # 4 buck for 410 in your mossberg 500 field gun with the 24 inch barrel...If you agree to do it I will mail 30 rounds of the ammo to pattern

[@GrumpyGenXGramps]

Hey man, how is that metal carport doing for a range cover? Is it loud, or are you even using it for that? I was planning to put a pole barn style roof over mine and never thought about one of those!

[@jimhamilton3544]

Buffalo, that SK Std. Plus in your CZ 457 Varmint MTR is the best group I have ever seen on any video-anywhere. 👍🏻 I have 3 Anschutz .22’s but that CZ 457 is a gem. What is also amazing is all you did was put a lighter Yo Dave trigger spring on and put a shoe cover on the trigger. 😂😂😂 I had to get up and watch that video again it is so amazing ie(an out of the box CZ 457 Varmint MTR & you didn’t have to spend hundreds of dollars on a bunch of after mkt. supposedly upgraded barrels, triggers chastises $ bedding the chassis, bipods & play around with action screw torques and crazy cleaning techniques ! 😂😂👍🏻 I can’t believe I have missed this video as I watch all of your .22 CZ Rifle Videos! You keep saying you’re not a professional shooter I would re consider & shooting in a few Bench-rest matches as I am confident no one can come close to 10 holes at 50yds. in .300” 😳

[@jackbippus2757]

Buffalo, Don’t change the way you do these videos, you do it best. Love that you don’t modify your rifle and then call it a CZ. I have a MTR. Would mean nothing to me with a different barrel. Thank You Buffalo!

[@jackbippus2757]

Buffalo, You are the one that made me try Sk PM and SP in my CZ MTR. My Kimber and my Anschutz like it also. Again Thank you! Jack

[@ncguyredneck]

Still testing ammunition with my MTR, but on an indoor 100yd range using SK Pistol Match, I was able to shoot a 10 shot .8 inch group. Shot another 10 rounds and it only opened up to a 1.1 inch group for 20 shots. I was very proud of it at that point. Buffalo, I greatly enjoyed this series, hats off to you.

[@Kratos_God_of_50_BMG]

I reached out to CZ, and they agreed that you should appear on the cover of CZ Weekly. Best group of ten in the history of anything with the name CZ on it!

[@jimhamilton3544]

How do I get this weekly CZ MAGAZINE you mentioned ?

[@lewisrice3741]

This guy is to good to tell me where he got the trigger shoes oh well I'll just keep looking for them I know he is just too important and probably too busy to just say where he got those trigger shoes. But luckily I ordered two different times and got the wrong things twice so I just threw them away thanks bro. Beagleman

[@TargetSuite]

10 shot groups! Wow! That's incredible! I've loved this series from the get-go, and this was a perfect wrap it up. Now don't let that CZ collect any dust ;-) And thanks for mentioning the channel!

[@bobbythompson3544]

I have watched so many MTR videos that people have spent fortunes on, stainless barrels, stocks etc! You have out shot them all with a standard barrel, thanks for the videos, we loved them here in Ireland

[@garylavorgna5976]

You set a fine example, safety, excellent marksmanship, simple explanations. Thanks

[@jeffwood32]

People that don't shoot groups have no idea how good that is! You are much better than you give yourself credit for. I'm also a big fan of the 457 MTR

[@6.5grendel11]

Thanks for all your time and effort in these group videos Buffalo !!👍👍

[@DFK67]

I admire your level of preparation and presentation. Such a joy to watch with solid, unbiased data. Thank you.

[@silverback3926]

Glad you finally got to it. Those are some great groups. That's some serious shooting and you have it on film. Something to be proud of. Congratulations!!!!!!

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks! I am glad to finally get this one wrapped up. I had a lot of fun with the series and learned a lot about the ammo, the gun and myself.

[@GrumpyGenXGramps]

@@buffalosoutdoors nothing wrong with ending on a high note! It would be hard to follow that up again! Then again, seems like a good rifle, scope, ammo and shooter combination! So...

[@mikelastpass689]

Thanks for an absolutely fantastic CZ 457 MTR series. As an owner of one of these rifles I am thrilled at the accuracy they are capable of.

[@GrumpyGenXGramps]

Kinda weird... but watching this feels like when a buddy stops by that you haven’t seen in a week or so! Good to see ya again! Your channel strikes a chord with us Southern/country Boys. You’re familiar. The slow, polite and humble way we talk in Appalachia.

[@shooter3083]

And even with us Yankee country boys! :D

[@DFK67]

And even with us foreigners.

[@znutar]

I gave up using rests and only use bipod and a rear bag for testing. I found that I needed to shoot under the same conditions I compete in to really determine the accuracy or my rifles. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@richarddesimone4451]

I have also gotten some misfires with Eley match with the same CZ 457 Varmint MTR. I have since added a YO-Dave plus 10 percent main spring and added .003" of shims to my bolt. I did a slight profiling of the firing pin also.... keeping it just slightly inboard of the cartridge edge. No misfired since

[@maretrushbrook9666]

Cheers Mate .Just bought a 457 in Australia ($1375 Aust) ,waiting for lockdown to finish and going to try some groups .Got some SK ammo including SK standard plus to try .Hope it goes as well ..JR

[@terryritchings242]

I have totally enjoyed this series , I thought you’d never get to the shoot off I was soo keen to see the results as I own a mtr…. Thanks buffalo. 😁

[@Friedbrain11]

Love the info you kept on those self-made targets. Beautiful work.That Standard + is really putting on a show for us :)

[@wescrouch2373]

Great shooting! Thank you for the informative video. I now know what ammo to look for, much appreciated.

[@joshuagibson2520]

You're right. All of last week was gusty and very windy overall here in Tn too. I'm glad you waited. Thank you.

[@RetiredFE]

Thanks Buffalo, great series. Just picked up a CZ 457 Varmint, and love it. Would be nice to have you for a next door neighbor.

[@chevyon37s]

I’m impressed by the single digit SD’s out of rimfire ammo! I can’t wait for my 457 to arrive

[@wildbill6233]

Well folks, that's a wrap. Way to go Buffalo!!!! Fine, FINE shooting sir. OUTSTANDING job on this video. Lots of information for us to work with. All the time and effort put into the entire series really shows right here. Thanks Buffalo

[@countrybob5268]

Thanks for your work on the shoot off. I own a 452 ultra lux and 2 455’s. All my cz like the sk ammo the best. I did get better groups out of them with the old Lapua made wolf match extra but not the eley. Thanks again for your videos.

[@briansmith430]

I was pretty close to buying a LA101 for my first rimfire but after watching this series i'm sold on the CZ 457 MTR in 22lr, CZ owe you a beer :) thanks for a great series and good shooting.

[@pete7389]

Nasty groups. Btw, due to the ammo situation I decided to get a .22LR bolt gun. Thanks for pointing me to the CZ 457. That rifle is great!

[@aaronneumeyer5572]

I felt pressure just watching you! This was a really fun series to watch, Buffalo. Thanks so much.

[@DrewAllegre]

What a fantastic series. Thank you for your time. Loved watching your process. Last group was worth it. I'm starting the game with my 455 Varmint.

[@michelzenner7282]

i have a 455 warmint and i Can confirm SK standard + rules very fine on it !

[@krumple8560]

Great job. All of my CZ 452s love SK plus but I haven't been able to print a group quite as good as the .300 that you did in this video. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

[@drews4685]

I really enjoy your videos. That was great accuracy 👍

[@nicobowersock6571]

I know is series is 3 years old but I wanted to say thank you for your time and efforts. These videos went a long way to help in my decision to purchase an MTR. Picking it up on Tuesday. Thank you sir.

[@commandox8upoop642]

You are a heck of a shooter Buffalo!! I can only imagine the pressure you talk about. That last group was soooo good, I'd a been terrified to take the last couple shots. Great vid!

[@tomh7331]

Fantastic series! Thank you so much for all your efforts in this ammo test.

[@haroldwaggoner9875]

Excellent shooting, especially for 10 shot groups, like the real world shooting, that MTR is a pretty good one.

[@littledaddynesbit4193]

Thanks from the UK, great series of videos and some great shooting! I really appreciated how much thought you put into reducing the variables and documenting the results. I think you've found your best bullet/barrel match now!

[@brucei8767]

This was a great series. Now I'm looking for SK Standard. Loved the way you did this.

[@jerrystacey2215]

Loved that series, my go to practice ammo was cci sv, After watching this I ordered a case SK Standard Plus. Keep up the good work. Cheers.

[@yacuzazucay]

For sure one of the Best Ammo-Testing on KZbin. Consistent setup an high quality vids!

[@stephaniemusick171]

This has been a great series to watch and follow. I have a CZ 457 Varmint 20.5” barrel in a KRG Bravo stock. My rifle is a great shooter. My 457 also loves SK Standard Plus. SK Standard Plus is my go to in several rifles. I shoot my CZ from 50-300 yards.

[@slimfire54]

Great shooting Buffalo as always.Nice testing of the 22lr ammo.

[@DerekEvan]

Great series with this rifle! Bring it back out for some more videos!

[@keithalbrecht4785]

That last group looks like the groups I get out of my Ruger 10/22 just one ragged hole. I've never tried SK ammo, when I can find it I may have to try it! great job Buffalo!!!

[@ice061978]

I recieved my 457 LRP last wednesday. I've shot SK Standard Plus and SK Rifle Match. Out of those 2 it also likes the Standard Plus, but I still need to test the Pistol Match, Flatnose Match, RWS Rifle Match and Eley Force. I'm pretty excited about it too! Hope to see some good results like you did! Thanks for an excellent and enjoyable Playlist! Keep it up!

[@buckshotaaa]

Hi Buffalo, great shooting there buddy. I too have been evaluating .22lr ammo through my CZ 455 16"Varmint thumbhole rifle and after trying several brands. (Geco, Eley Match/Club/Team, CCI Standard/Blazer, American Eagle, SK Rifle Match/Long Range and others i can't recall), i've now settled on SK Standard Plus. This ammo groups better than all the others i have tried in my 455. So far i have had zero flyers, if a round happened to open the group up it was down to the nut behind the butt! As you rightfully say they may not perform the same in one's particular rifle but they sure do in mine. My ammo testing is now over, SK Standard Plus all the way for me. Keep your wonderful videos coming mate. ATB from the UK.

[@michelzenner7282]

same for me with 455 warmint and SK s+

[@joshuagibson2520]

Yessss! Can't wait for the long range 22 content! Hell yeah!

[@terrybagby135]

Great video. I’m glad you finished it. Mine also likes Standard and Rifle Match. That is a great group. You might want to save that batch for special projects.

[@daveshsb]

What a great series! Really enjoyed watching and seeing which ammo was best. Hats off to SK for some real fine 22lr ammo! Great shooting as always!!

[@shifty7606]

Great to see the final finally. =) Excellent Rifle, Ammo and Shooter!

[@jeffwood32]

Great job! Enjoyed every minute. Thank you

[@mikerankin1826]

Awesome shooting..My CZ 457 MTR will be here tomorrow..I’m ready

[@jerryking3208]

Thank you. Great info and looked forward to every episode. Will be searching for some SK ammo in the future to try on my MTR.

[@joshuagibson2520]

This is the standard for other channels to do their testing also. Great job.

[@ponthis1]

Wow Buffalo that's some serious consistency. Great series, and shoot off! But I gotta say the rest of us are shooting our 22s in minutes of squirrel, you are shooting in 1/4minute of chipmunk! Thanks brother for another great video.

[@MrBazday]

Thanks Buffalo for the great tests of 22lr. I have the same rifle and found the same results. SK plus and then SK long range for 100 and over. I have had the same problem with my steel 5 shot magazine. I have 2 polymer 5 shot mags and never had one problem. Thanks again great channel

[@davelinn1729]

Amazing shooting Buffalo..great job as always!!

[@6x47...]

Standard Plus shoots surprisingly well in a LOT of rifles for some reason 👍👍... thing that makes it even SWEETER is that most people (myself included) weren't expecting it!!!

[@colinsimmons2913]

Hi Buffalo, I found your site and watched all of this series. I bought a CZ 457 LRP and it is exactly the same SK yellow only 1" groups at 100meters easy. Thanks for a great series well done mate Col

[@scottmorgan1016]

This has been a great series. Thanks for all the work. These 10 shot groups are very impressive. Will.be exciting to see where you and this rifles adventures take us. Take care.

[@charlesfitzgerald6095]

Great series! Liked how you kept everything the same throughout the prelims.. Like you said all the different opinions can grate on you after a while , but you stayed true to the series. It really is true "opinions are like a** holes, everyone has one"! Again Great Job!

[@de629]

I've been on the waiting list at Area 419 for a cz457 as I wanted a threaded barrel and got a notification today that they have some in a MDT chassis, so I placed my order. You might have saved me time and $$$ on ammo selection.

[@genegeiger1026]

I have enjoyed this comparison. My MTR also likes all SK products, but it really like a certain lot of Center X.

[@mitchschneider1927]

Nice job sir!!!! Thanks for your hard work.👍

[@rooster3019]

I am surprised too. I have a couple of bricks of Plus and it shoots better than I can hold with iron sights, but so does everything else in my lever rifles. But, my semi-auto pistols malfunction often with it with failures to feed or eject... Good to know your results!

[@Crete1943]

Keep in mind that each batch or brand or type of .22LR differs for a number of reasons, yet the main weakness of rimfire ammo is its irregular ignition. During the priming phase of manufacturing, the priming ought to be equally distributed around the rim. If and when this is done is anyone's guess. In SK Standard Plus this ignition issue has been eliminated. The SK S+ seems to have the most consistent ignition from round to round in my experience with a variety of rimfire pistols and rifles. It shoots one-hole groups @ 25m with a handgun or @50m with a rifle (any type, from sporters to Match types), all day long, unlike any other type including ELEY and LAPUA pricey Match stuff. There is no equal to SK S+ in consistency with either a clean bore or a conditioned one; cold or warm weather, rain or shine. I have shot my best pistol matches with SK S+ and in a rifle (any rimfire type), it shines, just as seen here. Brilliant.

[@Leverguns50]

All three of those groups were excellent, but that tiny little group that Took first place was really awesome

[@terrykleypas50]

I love your channel. Thank you for all the time and effort put into this series, even the flood footage (Ha)! I look forward to getting a new video alert from you every week or so. Those groups are fantastic. I hope I can duplicate them with my 457 MTR.

[@YellowHammer26]

That's great shooting Buffalo. I watch a lot of videos and I'm always amazed at the people not doing the video always know how to do it better. I know you put a lot of time and work into your videos and I appreciate it very much. Thanks for what you do. Just watching you shoot has made me a better shooter.

[@robertross3358]

Wonderful series , great conclusion ! Thoroughly enjoyed watching ! Hoping you’ll do a similar test of .22 WMR using your Savage Precision Rimfire with the MDT chassis !?!

[@joestutzman4694]

I really enjoyed this series Buffalo! Very interesting and I plan on doing similar with my 22's. I have always done it with my high powered rifles but never really knew that 22 ammo can vary so much. Keep up the good work!

[@Strutingeagle]

Congrats!!! This was a perfect conclusion of a wonderful body of work you shared with us all. You got to prove the magazine, confirmed your tests, and walked away with excellent 10 shot groups. You walked the walk and I believe this series of videos will be of value for a long time to come as to what to expect from an excellent .22 rimfire rifle. For you, you get to know that rifle belongs to you. Thanks for your hard work!!

[@davyt1090]

Ive been trying sk standard and match plus in my anschutz 1416 , getting great groups at 60yds then move out to 100yds and the groups go totally to pot opening up to 2 inches , back to the drawing board so going to try rws next , great videos compilation 👍👍

[@Robert-qm7yi]

Try high velocity match, sounds like you're dropping to sub sonic at 100 and that transition can destabilize bullets especially small .22s

[@davyt1090]

@@Robert-qm7yi will see if i can get hold of some and give them a go 👍

[@vickhinton6608]

He can certainly shoot well. I too have 1416, thumbhole varminter. I would love to be his equal, CHEERS

[@ronmartblog]

Awesome, glad you got this one done! I love this series, so hopefully you'll do it again at longer distances or with that CZ 17 HMR barrel. ;-)

[@garyK.45ACP]

Thank you for a great series and all your time and expense. That rifle is matching the accuracy of rifles costing more than 3 times as much! Since you began the series, we acquired a CZ 457 "At One" model for my wife. She is very pleased with it and still burning through a large quantity of Wolf Match Target I bought some years ago for her previous Remington target rifle (passed down yesterday to my oldest son for his boys to shoot). I also acquired a High Standard Supermatic Citation match pistol during this series. I am going to order some of the SK Standard Plus to give a try in both these guns. It is also the cheapest of the three. For now, I will order 200 rounds and give it a go! Thanks, Buffalo!

[@fromsoftnewbie4423]

This entire series actually inspired me to pickup a new bolt action .22 and boy I'm not disappointed! Cz 456 pro varmint bone stock just LOVES the SK ammunition, standard plus averages .40 from 5x 5shot groups and the pistol match also runs in at an average of .390 from 5x5shot groups the only one that opened up was the flatnose ending up with an average .590 from 5x5shot groups. The rifle match and long range match do alright but didn't geoup as well at 50 but beat the top 50yd ammo at 100yds by an average of 15%

[@donaldanderson4139]

I really like the way you perform these test. Everything is kept in the order they’re shot. I’d like to see you put the TAC 22 through one of your test. Others say this is close to the better tournament grade ammo. Thanks for doing these programs. Very enjoyable.

[@waterweirdo9285]

Awesome video!!! Keep up the good work buffalo! 👍🏻

[@johncashwell1024]

Great ammunition, rifle and scope combination! But the "Outstanding!" award goes to Buffalo, especially for pulling off that very last shot! I have found myself in similar circumstances but I always end up having to say "if it hadn't been for that last shot being a flyer..."/ And I would just like to add that there is no way I would ever skip ahead or ffwd through any Buffalo Outdoors video!

[@hiroprotagonist525]

SK Standard + AAAAALLL day baby!!!! Out of my 10-22, I get clover leafs @ 50Y! So far, it's the most consistent ammo I have found and for a fraction of the price of other purportedly match ammo, it holds its own with its head held on high!

Like you said we have all been waiting and you always deliver.....I knew there was a reason I held onto those 1,500 rounds of SK Standard Plus I have....I was waiting to see if you would of measured that 9 round group minus that one flyer from the Pistol Match special group and seen how close it was to the SK SP.....I bet it would of been around .35 to .4!

[@rumin8470]

Cool. Looking forward to the longer range shooting. I really enjoy your testing methods, your video editing, and your personality. Once you shoot a 10 shot group like that at 50 yards (I have not), longer range is only challenge left with 22lr. Hard to see how a more expensive rifle could have done any better.

[@romeobravo2023]

Salut, Well done with an excellent demonstration of the various ammos fired with your CZ 457 MTR. It would have been inconsistent to change your testing methodology mid testing re kit etc. Also the various “improvements suggested”, even down to the removal of the swivel studs were impressive. However I did suggest you utilise a more accurate method of POI and MOA measurement, which could have been employed in the final contest. Ballistic-X software (as an example) which costs less than 10 dollars is not an extravagant investment and would have made your finale even better in terms of accurate assessment and acceptance. As an owner of the CZ 457 MTR and Premium models I shoot RWS Rifle Match in the former and SK Rifle Match in the latter. Please note, despite the views of other KZbin channels who I respect, my CZ 457 MTR (with a suppressor fitted) has achieved 0.27MOA at 50 metres, which I attribute to the improved barrel harmonics with the suppressor fitted. I did also notice on your bench a copy of the CZ “Test Firing Sheet”. In Europe they shoot RWS, which ammo do they shoot in the USA? Cordialement RB
