Never used S&B .22LR but I swear by their centerfire stuff.

SBF · 03-01-2005, 07:36 PM

I haven't tried it yet either. I would be interested in testing some though, maybe when it warms up.

Richard Simmons · 03-02-2005, 07:14 AM

Thanks. I don't shoot my .22's nearly enough, 10/22, Nylon 66, Ruger Single-Six and thought perhaps putting something other than the cheapest ammo I can find through them might change that fact. This S&B costs about 2-3 times what I usually pay but if it's any good the 6250rd case should last me a lifetime.

I've never tried it, but I might give it a test with a smaller quantity before picking up a case+.
I like the "Eley priming" mention. Aguila always prominently prints that too. Almost as if it's a magic talisman for accuracy,rather than a standardized process.

I bought 4 boxes at a local shop yesterday. So far I've shot it in only one rifle, a Winchester M-67, and it say the least, I like it! At least in that rifle. I was shooting offhand at a 3" clanger at 75 yards and hit it everytime with 30 rounds. Got boring, actually. If I get some time later today I'd like to benchrest the rifle-ammo combination and see what it will do.

Benched the S&B ammo today. In the Winchester 67 I was getting groups from 1.25-1.5". Stevens Favorite about the same. Marlin 60 not so good, about 2.5" but that rifle just doesn't shot standard velocity of any sort worth a hoot.

So how did this stuff do in other guns?
Aneyone shoot it in a benchrest gun?
Im alwsys looking for something better or less costly.

we did the 25 tard test,(we shoot 50 and 100 yards ) but test 25 to start with this ammo is TRASH if it was 50 cents it would be Trash.guns used today were a 40X with 20p scope and a HB Anschutz 24p scope and a Ruger race rifle factory new with a 4x12 burris sig ao.the ammo was 2 to 3 inches out of any of the 3 guns at 25 yards we shot 100rds total of the S&B.BUY WOLF for plinking it cant be beat.jb YES ITS TRUE IT MAY shoot great in your gun.BUT shure would NOT buy more that 100rds to test it.allways TEST first then buy.
