The bullets may be smaller but not the challenge.

Good .22 ammo

Post by Jimologist »

I recently tried some of the Sellior and Bellot target .22 ammo and was reasonably happy with it.

It grouped almost as good as the older SK standard plus and the CMP Eley practice that came in the white box with a plastic bag of 500.

One of our local suppliers had it at 3.79/box of 50 which came out to just a tad over $400 a case.

When I say it is almost as good, I feel it is excellent for practice and save the good stuff for matches. And save the real good stuff for the really big matches.

Give it a try. The CMP Eley practice is no longer available and everything else is almost twice as much.

Has anyone else tried the S&B 22LR ammo? How about a link to an online retailer? Thanks!

Hate to report but cannot find it listed anywhere. Ammo seek only lists one place as having it in stock and that one place is probably a scam site.

S & B standard velocity was made in the Czech Republic.

Maybe what we bought was a one time run and one time shipment?

Im glad we bought a case.

Sorry for what now appears bogus info.

It's been available near me by box at $3.99 a box, or $379.00 a case. I have shot 3 boxes and it shot very, very well. My Rem 504 put all 5 in one hole at 20 yards. It them put all 5 under 1" at 50 yards. It also functioned flawlessly in my HS Victor, and my SW Victory Target model. Both of the pistols put all 5 in a 1/2" groups at 20 yards with red dot scopes!

Yes Im still using it and have shot some good standing scores with it and a few 40s in Prod. And unl.

I just wish I had tested it well enough to go back and buy another case while they still had it.
But you just never know. Could have as easily been junk. I will use it till its gone then shed a few tears like I did over the bulk Eley CMP stuff. I may have my last bag-o-bullet CMP Eley slipped into my casket on the way out. :)) :))
