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.

If only it were high velocity.

$0.10 per round is about the best you’ll find these days.

Is what it is in these dark and trying times,

For learning to shoot consistently and accurately at 300Y I’m on the volume end of the game right now and this scratches the itch.

I bought 5000 CCI HV for the same price a couple years ago, not sure what those are going for now.

You don't want high velocity ammo for long range 22LR shooting. Especially at 300 yards.

Once it drops under the sound barrier at 1125 fps, which it will at those distances, it destabilizes and can tumble.

Most standard velocity rounds are much better for longer range 22 shots. Check the velocities listed for match grade stuff.
