ELEY tenex – Flat-nose 40g | 1040-1085ft/s | RSD 3.75mm

ELEY tenex is the most consistent .22 LR cartridge in terms of accuracy.

With over 198 years of tradition and experience, engineering excellence is essential to ELEY tenex's success. ELEY's highly qualified engineers combine state-of-the-art machinery with high-speed electronic visual inspection systems and Six Sigma methodologies to produce cartridges that have redefined .22 LR caliber accuracy worldwide.

Is ELEY tenex worth it?

Yes, for competitive shooters and serious enthusiasts who pursue the tightest groups, ELEY tenex justifies its choice. A box of 50 cartridges is positioned in the premium range, offering in return a maximum radial standard deviation of only 3.75 mm and a constant velocity between 317 and 330 m/s – the same specification used at the Olympic level and at the World Championships.

This consistency from one lot to another is one of the reasons why ELEY tenex is used by national teams and world record holders.

For recreational shooting or regular training, a .22 LR cartridge from a standard range can be a more economical choice. ELEY tenex justifies its premium positioning for shooters who want to minimize the influence of ammunition on results at the highest competitive level.

How accurate is ELEY Tenex?

ELEY Tenex is manufactured with a maximum radial standard deviation of 3.75 mm and in a velocity range of 317–330 m/s, tolerances strict enough for this cartridge to be used at the Olympic level, in the World Cup and at the World Championships.

This consistency is achieved through manufacturing processes controlled according to Six Sigma methodologies and through the electronic visual inspection of each cartridge produced, not just sampled lots. The process is completed by testing each lot, so that each box can be identified according to the production lot and the recorded velocity values.

Because barrel harmonics differ from one gun to another, no lot will have exactly the same results in every barrel. That is why barrel testing is important for identifying the lot that offers the best groups in the respective gun.

The iconic flat-nose projectile of ELEY tenex is one of the many innovations developed by ELEY engineers. As it travels through the air, its revolutionary design moves the center of pressure forward, aerodynamically stabilizing the projectile and contributing to increased accuracy at the target.

High-precision manufacturing techniques allow for the production of cartridge tubes of uniform length, made from a carefully controlled brass alloy. This ensures the controlled burning of each powder charge in a constant volume and the delivery of uniform energy to each projectile.

Subsequently, each cartridge is checked through a series of analytical processes, including computer-controlled visual inspection and measurements made with highly precise calibrated equipment, all of which are supervised by ELEY engineers.

To achieve maximum accuracy with ELEY tenex, the shooter must test their barrel. Although ELEY tenex offers exceptional results out of the box, the optimal match between barrel and ammunition, achieved through testing at ELEY technical ranges, can make the difference in a competition.
