S&B is my favorite ammo. It works best is all my rifles in every single calibre. Somehow it matches exactly the iron sights on rifles in .308, 8mm, 7.62x39 SKS and 527, 54R. No other brand has consistently just worked in everything like S&B does. Plus in rifles at least it shoots with a bit more umph that many other brands. I can shoot better or equal groups with it compared to any other ammo in all the rifle calibres. If the price is right S&B is my ammo of choice. Hornady is my second choice. Then I really like Barnaul rifle ammo as well value/performance.
