Description

The Eley Biathlon Club .22 LR (Eley part no. 03130) is a rimfire load with a 40-grain round-nose bullet from ELEY. ELEY designed Biathlon Club as an introduction to its biathlon ammunition, with a refined bullet and case for reliable cycling in bolt-action and straight-pull rifles in freezing weather. A cold-weather lubricant keeps consistency up and barrel wear down, and a higher propellant charge adds energy for reliable target reaction. It suits biathlon and cold-weather rimfire shooting. Each box holds 50 rounds.
