very true. I found CCI Standard Velocity to have that consistency in my 10/22 and my Mark IV. I tried several others but never had the results as I did cci. Aguila is just plain dirty and inconsistent. I got a lot of jams with them. Wildcat, couldn’t even shoot a mag without some sort of issue. Federal was pretty good and what I shot before trying to go farther than 50yds. But just not consistent enough for longer distances. Eele is just too expensive.
Actually I've found CCI SV to not be much better than Aguila, Minimags, or any other mass produced ammo. To get real consistency look to Europe for the source, like Eley, SK, and Lapua. Even their lower end offerings are more consistent than about anything made this side of the ocean. At 50-75 yds there may not be much difference accuracy-wise, but once you get out past 100, there is a definite difference. With my T1x I get consistent 2" groups at 150 using SK Standard+ and Rifle Match; and Eley Action and Club. I haven't shot any of the super expensive like TenX or Midas, as I've set a hard limit on ammo cost.
