Sellier and Bellot 22LR Standard or Club?

I didn't realize there is a Club version - I have the standard version and shot them last month and it was decent. Not SK precision, but much better than some of my other budget plinking ammo.

I personally love S&B in general, and it's the only brand that I have in the various calibers that I own. The .22LR, in my view, is good value for the price. Shot about 110 rounds without any issues.
 
There's one standard velocity made to what are implied to be "new" standards. The S&B website provides the following description/information.

NEW CARTRIDGE MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY | Sellier & Bellot launches a brand new, modern technology for the manufacture of 22 Long Rifl e cartridges. | Highly accurate bullets with a new design: • Manufactured from precision, graphite-coated lead slug • Consistently precise bullet shape down to one hundredth of a millimetre • Precise bullet weight within a tolerance of ± 0.02 g | Superior loading: • Minimum differences in bullet speed • Exact primer dose within ± 0.002 g • Propellants within ± 0.01 g | CLUB version: Cartridges in this series achieve excellent accuracy due to new manufacturing technology.




In the chart above, one of its features is that the "new" S&B .22 Long Rifle Club is "economical" -- a characteristic that it shares with the S&B ammo it replaces. It doesn't sound like match quality ammo.

That’s my thought too. I’ll try some if I find it.
 
So now maybe they changed the label for marketing, catchy
I don't see others showing such specs
Testing shows a low es, am impressed so far

"Sellier & Bellot "Canadian Match" 22LR 40gr LRN

Sellier & Bellot launches a brand new, modern technology for the manufacture of 22 Long Rifle cartridges.

Highly accurate bullets with a new design:

Manufactured from precision, graphite-coated lead slug
Consistently precise bullet shape down to one hundredth of a millimetre
Precise bullet weight within a tolerance of ± 0.02 g | Superior loading:
Minimum differences in bullet speed
Exact primer dose within ± 0.002 g
Propellants within ± 0.01 g
50/Box x 10 Boxes = 500 Rounds
 
The 'Canadian match' stuff shot ok, similar to CCI SV, but the older green box 'standard velocity' stuff was absolutely horrible at 50m in 3x different rifles.

This new stuff sounds promising.
 
I and a few others use the S&B Canadian match. Pretty good standard deviations over the chronograph, groups are on par with CCI standard. Good enough for practice ammo.
