Sellier and Bellot 22LR ammo

[DoubleTapDiabetus]

Hey has anyone used this ammo? I'm assuming quality with the name and price but is there something I'm missing with the big price drop at the bulk ammo at tenda?

I bought some at Canadian Tire this winter. It was a different looking box but still said S&B standard. It was on sale for $5/box and I wasn't overly impressed. Good enough for plinking with the kids though. Wasn't as accurate as CCI standard velocity in any of the guns I tried it in, and didn't feed as good in my 10/22 either.

I bought a few boxes this Spring - LGS was selling it @ $8.99+tx. In my Sav-64 I got a group 1/2"H x 2-2-1/2W and in my Marlin-60 I got 2 groups of 5 at the same target, totalling 1-1/2H x 2-1/3W. Both were disappointing so didn't shoot more. I've changed-up scopes on both guns so will try again, but I can't recommend this for semi-s. Should shoot better in bolts.

Tried it a few years ago with a scoped CZ 452 and wasn’t impressed at 50 meters

Mid range stuff, had some group sub moa at 50 yards with it but CCi sv was better

Sale or no sale I will not buy it anymore. Stick with CCI or Blaser.

not close to be match grade ammo CCI SV is getting better result for same price on many rifle, in my mind classify as only good for plinking.

I've bought a box of every type of S&B I've ever seen for sale, and not one of them shot well in any 22 I've tried them in. I'll personally never buy it again. CCI and SK are my "go-to". I once had a rifle that shot Federal Gold Medal Target well, so I take that stuff to the range whenever I have a new 22 to test out. I've yet to have it shoot that well in any other gun, so Federal has become one I sort of ignore now too.

I bought a brick or two of S&B Standard about four or five years ago. I shot less than a box to learn all I needed to know. I still have the rest.

Geez. If any of you guys are in Manitoba I'll take them off your hands. Some of my guns definitely don't like them but my Ruger Precision loves them. Canadian Tire had them for $3.50 or something like that and I cleaned them out.

 

[skwerl]

I have 1 box that I bought 2 yrs ago , still haven't tried it yet .
Like my RWS way too much..

 

[Hardhammer]

Was a no go with my mkii fvsr, each round had to be extracted by hand, never had that problem with cci sv

 

[Hunter22]

Just picked up a brick from Tenda yesterday and tried them out in my Zastava with mediocre results at 25 mts. It just a plinking round .

 

[stuckon308]

I will add that while my RPR likes them, my CZ 452 doesn't really like them but my friends CZ 455 really likes them. He was getting 1/2 - 3/4" groups at 50 yards. They're definitely not super consistent but for under $4 I think they're worth it.

I tried it a few years ago, was not impressed.

 

[BenchrestJohn]

All my 3 Anschutz 54 rifles like it, decent training and plinking ammo.

 

[DoubleTapDiabetus]

Has anyone tried it in semi autos?

 

[Tinner4]

Bought a brick of S&B standard a couple of years ago. Shot maybe 100rnds and then gave the rest away.

 

[stuckon308]

Has anyone tried it in semi autos?

Looking at my list of guns it appears as though my VLEH really liked it. This was a 5 shot group at 50 yards. The one flyer is typical. Keep in mind, this is the best group I've shot with it (minus the flyer) But it definitely isn't crap in every rifle.

Agreed I tried some and had similar experience as others CCI was best for me
