Ammo options for Hämmerli Xesse? Empty Ammo options for Hämmerli Xesse?

Post by valbern67 Sun Mar 07, 2021 11:59 am

Fellow Hämmerli Xesse Sport shooters:

What is the "cheapest" ammo you have found that cycles in your pistols? If .22LR ammo becomes available, I'd like to have options for practice and save my good ammo for matches.

I usually shoot CCI SV / Aguila Super Extra / SK Standard Plus.

Thanks!

I have 2 Trailsides and 2 X-esse.  All of them shoot Aguila Super Extra Standard Velocity, Aguila Pistol Match, Aguila Rifle Match, Aguila Target Competion and CCI SV.  Of those 5 I have had the best accuracy with Rifle Match and Target Competion, also the least amount of function issues (maybe 1 misfire per brick or less).  Super Extra, Pistol Match and CCI was ok but not what I would use for matches, to many misfires, failure to feed and extract in my pistols. I will/do use Eley Target (Yellow box) when I can get it at reasonable prices.  I know there are better performing brands of 22lr but with todays prices I can't justify the cost at my current skill level.

Mine shoots CCI Standard the most reliably.  Aguila pistol match is more accurate but I had way to many low and high charges that gave me a lot of grief so I stopped using it all together.

When I had my X-esse I used CCI-SV for most stuff and Eley Club when I thought I needed a few more points. I tried Eley Target but had some soft rounds so I sold it. I never bothered with anything else.

CMP Eley is ok, Anguilla SV is better, Old CCI SV is better still, and anything SK primed is best.
