A follow up to a post awhile back, I picked up a 5000rd case of the Sellier and Bellot Canadian Match Standard thanks to a lot of helpful feedback I got on here and I must say this stuff shoots!

Little dirty little waxy but accurate and affordable.

It's dirty...it makes you have to wipe and clean your gun but it is also very consistent for the cost..at least for me and thru 3 different 22s.

To be fair most rimfire is pretty dirty, it’s not Eley but it’s also not Eley price

I assume it's from the powder they use? I have a brick and do use it. It's not a big deal. I just wipe my bolt end, and run a few dry patches thru. It's one of the cheapest and consistent ammos my gun likes that I've found so far as well! (CZ 457). Federal champion is another but groups are a bit tighter with Canadian match 👍🏼

Hell Yeah on the CZ Brother!

I’m running a 455, I think it’s a combo of powder and the wax. Whatever though as it’s affordable and consistently accurate and comes in a decent volume for the price despite the hate I’m getting DM’d

Yeah, I was just saying it's a bit dirty after a day of shooting but very easy to clean, wasn't meant to throw shade. Here in 🇨🇦 it's as low as 5 Bux for 50 which is 2$ cheaper than CCI SV which shoots like trash in my 457. I usually have a bunch of cheap stuff to just practice with as I shoot a lot. Then bust out the Eley and nice stuff for fun shoots or my clubs IBS style shoots. 👍🏼

You’re not throwing shade dude!

Some clown keeps DMing me that there’s now way I got the group I did with that ammunition.

Lol. If I could post a pic I would but that's very doable!
