Eley Club ammo

A retired and now deceased shooter had a lot of Eley Club ammo in the orange boxes. The lead is not oxidized. The range is selling the ammo at $65.00 for 500 rounds.
Is Club really better than Target? The real questions I have, is it worth $65.00 per 500 rounds?

As I understand it, the difference between Eley TENEX, MATCH, TEAM, CLUB, and TARGET is selection of that batch after shooting it in multiple test rifles.  They’re all loaded to the same specifications on the same set of machines.  The selection criteria is in the order stated.  Also just because the batch of ammo meets the “TENEX” criteria it may still be sold as “MATCH” if they need more of that to fill the orders.

I know for a fact you can look at lot numbers of Match ammo and see which are rejected lots or Tenex. Killough's has the lot numbers listed for all match ammo so you can test by lot, a quick Google search will show you what the lot number means.

I've never shot club but have target. I thought club was lower than target. Either way for the times $65/500 for any Eley that has been stored properly is a decent price but not a steal.

I've shot a lot of Eley Club over the last several years. Very happy with it out of numerous guns.

The price is pretty good by today's standards............

Point of interest, Club is the same ammo that CMP bulk is.  Both have lot numbers starting with 31 followed by two digit year code then the true lot number. 
The last Club that Killough had was $8.00 so $65 a brick is in line since CMP doesn’t seem to be getting any more.

Club is rated above Target on price wise. ISS in Ft Worth has new pricing for Eley and RWS for 2021. Club at 648 and Target at 558 a case.
