Sellier & Bellot .22-250

[Old Fart]

Blokes,

Who's using Sellier & Bellot ammo?

I flipped through the latest SSAA mag and thought I saw something? Didn't get to read the article in full though.

I picked up a few boxes for the .22-250 for a good price because the store couldn't move them last week. Not going to get out for a couple of weeks now due to a bung leg though so can't test them out.

What should I expect?

I got some for a new 223. Accuracy about 1.5 to 2 moa, so not impressed . But to be fair a budget rifle and I have not tried anything else. My identical rifle in 3006 with my hand loads shoots about moa and no experimenting.

I've only tried one box but this was what I got out of 10 shot groups in my 22.



Not the best in my rifle but not terrible.

Damn, looks good to me Lorgar

Not terrible by any means. Just not the best I got out of my rifle.

Think they sold too soon.

SSAA hunters mage just did a review on their 22LR, 22-250 and .223 ammo so people will be in for it any day I reckon.

5 shot group with the 55gr 22-250 had 3 touching and 2 further apart for about a 1" group over all.

55gr is what I've got and that accuracy will do.

Lucked out with the timing on them. Great.

I saw your other topic with the ammo testing and that tiny group. Real good shooting

While I have it in front of me...

The 22LR ammo shot a 10 shot group at what looks to be about 1 1/4 inch. The .223 shot about the same as the 22-250.

If anyone else is looking at the ammo.
