Sellier and Bellot 40gr .22LR

[u/preferablyoutside]

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.

[u/preferablyoutside → u/CDE42]

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

[u/CDE42 → u/preferablyoutside]

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 👍🏼

[u/preferablyoutside → u/CDE42]

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.

[u/CDE42 → u/preferablyoutside]

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

What distance were you shooting at? Was looking stock picking up some of the same ammo, local retailer has it on special

50Y off bags with a CZ 455

[u/wljw69 → u/preferablyoutside]

Nice I'll have to try some out in my derya

[u/preferablyoutside → u/wljw69]

I’d highly recommend it, so far the only thing that hasn’t shot it well has been a Marlin SemiAuto

[u/CoolGuy1980]

I was hoping to grab that exact batch of ammo, but it sold out many a day ago.

Does anyone have any idea when go tenda usually restocks?

[u/Razor99 → u/CoolGuy1980]

Just set up a wishlist and wait for the email :)

[u/CoolGuy1980 → u/Razor99]

Thanks, will do. Do you happen to know, in your observations, is it usually pretty quick, like a week or two to restock or is it more like months before it's probably going to be available?

[u/Razor99 → u/CoolGuy1980]

Must depend on their suppliers, its been pretty random for me but haven't had to wait more than a month for something (a firearm) ammo has generally been 2-3 weeks max.

[u/CoolGuy1980 → u/Razor99]

Great, thank you

They've also got the Aguila SV 40Gr on sale, which shoot very well for me.

$150 for a box of 2000

[u/theservman]

It's decent 22lr, but I was annoyed when I ordered it from Tenda. It was sold as a case, which is normally a box containing 10 bricks, of 10 boxes, all of the same manufacturing lot. Instead I got a box containing 100 loose boxes from multiple lots.

Don't sell me a case when you're not going to ship me an actual case.

If only it were high velocity.

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

[u/preferablyoutside → u/Flat-Dark-Earth]

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.

[u/Flat-Dark-Earth → u/preferablyoutside]

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

[u/preferablyoutside → u/Flat-Dark-Earth]

According to Tenda $130more a case

[u/[deleted] → u/preferablyoutside]

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.

[u/preferablyoutside → u/[deleted]]

Good to know,

For the accuracy I’ve been getting ill be buying another 5k pack of the S&B

[u/Boetie83]

Shoots great in my CZ452
