Sellier & bellot canadian match ? any thoughts on this?

Although it shot better than I had expected out of several of my rimfires ( 10 shots .6 to .7 @ 50yd ) for bargain basement ammo it was so dirty cleaning my guns was like cleaning my BBQ ! I no longer use it. My cheap go to ( dry firing is just too boring ! ) is Tac22. Accuracy varies case to case but as with silhouttes, PRS does not require bench rest accuracy. At least inside of 150 yards.

It won't win you a trophy but its a cheap way to put a smile on the grandkids face for an afternoon.

They're just happy to hit the 4" spinner.

The guns always get a quick cleaning after a backyard marathon blast fest, so being dirty isn't a big deal.

Its amazing how much ammo a kid can put through a Cricket in an afternoon.

Don't underestimate single shots. I once went thru a brick of federal with a 22LR single shot contender.

My experience with, my CZ loves it. Eley does shoot better, but marginally and at 3 times the cost.
It was OK in my old Savage.
My Bergara's do not like it at all.

Is it dirtier than some others? Sure it is. Can I get through a few days in the field or a match or two before I need to clean? Sure can.

In reality, both of my Bergara's prefer different ammo. Grab a box or two and see for yourself. Somewhat it, some love it. It really comes down to whether the barrel likes it.

In my Grey Birch 1022, S&B Canadian Match grouped on average 1.355" at 50y (6 - 5-shot groups). CCI Standard Velocity groups 0.621" at 50y for the same 6 - 5 shot groups (less than half the group size). It groups worse than any ammo I've tried so far. I would consider it plinking ammo. IMHO, it does not deserve the "Match" moniker. You may get lucky and some rifle(s) may shoot it better though.

Generally goes bang and comes out of the barrel pointy end first. I've had no duds yet in 3 or 4 boxes. Expect 1" or bigger groups at 50 yds.
