ELEY tenex vs. ELEY match vs. ELEY team — which is better?
ELEY tenex, ELEY match and ELEY team are manufactured on the same production line using the same flat-nose bullet, cartridge case, primer, propellant and lubrication. The difference is not the components used but the statistical accuracy achieved during factory testing. The highest-performing production lots become ELEY tenex, followed by ELEY match and ELEY team.
The Triangle of Success
Accuracy depends on three factors working together: the firearm, the ammunition and the shooter. Selecting the correct production lot is only one part of achieving consistent precision.
How ELEY grades competition ammunition
ELEY manufactures one premium flat-nose competition cartridge before grading completed production lots according to measured statistical performance. Every batch is manufactured to identical engineering standards before testing.
How every batch is tested
Every production batch is assessed using controlled testing procedures including Radial Standard Deviation (RSD), Mean Point of Impact (MPI), velocity consistency and group dispersion. ELEY evaluates 200 rounds from every production batch across four different rifle platforms.
Published competition standards
| Product | Grade | Maximum RSD |
|---|---|---|
| ELEY tenex | Highest | 3.75 mm |
| ELEY match | Second | 4.74 mm |
| ELEY team | Third | 5.50 mm |
Summary
The difference between ELEY tenex, ELEY match and ELEY team is their measured statistical performance during factory testing rather than differences in manufacture. The best ammunition is the production lot that performs best in your rifle.
