I use this Sellier & Bellot 6.5 Creedmoor all the time. It is by far the cheapest 6.5 Creedmoor I can get in my area at 15.99 a box. There is one store that carries it and it happens to be the local store where I purchase most of my firearms. So when I am out at the range this is usually what Im shooting and this stuff shoots 3/4" groups consistently at a 100 yards. If they dont have any of this I usually opt for the Remington Kore Lokt or the Hornady whitetail. Those are the cheapest alternatives. Remington Kore Lokt is a 1.5 in group round at its best. The Hornady whitetail is a 1 inch group round. Im not one of those impractical ass people that thinks I need to shoot sub moa every time I hit the range, so I rarely ever buy expensive match grade stuff. I tend to keep my expectations practical. Basically if I can group inside of three inches at a 100 yards consistently with a particular ammo. Thats usually good enough for me. The most practical thing is understanding the capabilities of that round and consistently grouping with in that rounds capabilities. Consistence is practical. Sub-moa has very little practical application. My rifles see match grade ammo once in their life and thats when I first get them and I want to make sure they are in fact sub-moa rifles like many manufactures guarantee these days. Thats it. After that its the cheapest stuff I can find.
I’m 12sec in and thought I’d share my experience with this ammunition (labelled tactical ammunition). Bore sighted rifle. Sighter shot with my new Tikka Super Varmint off sticks at 50yds was c. 3” high. Back to 100 adjusted scope and shot a 0.68” group of 3 (slightly high and right). Adjusted scope and shot a 0.54” group of 3 a little low and slightly left. Adjusted scope and shot 3rd group of 3 each in the bull with a 0.68” spread again. Amazing results for this ‘cheap’ ammo.
I have a Browning Hells Canyon. It shoots Hornady like crap but I used S&B and I got a half inch group and a three-quarter inch group out of it. The American Gunner Hornady was inch-and-a-half group.
Doesn’t seem too bad for cheap fmj range ammo. Be good to have for a stockpile and have the brass for hand loading. I think I’m going to get a box of each of their grain weights and see what mine likes before buying a case
I like to S and B ammo OK I guess. I have an LWRC 6.5 Creedmoor semi auto. The gun shoots way better than I do. It does however like some ammo better than others. It likes the Hornady 140 really well. Great groups you can cover with a quarter. The S and B was a little inconsistent with the grouping. This is from my own personal experience and I’m sure everyone has their own.
Just wondering i recently picked up the same rifle. What magazine's are those i understand that the magpul g3 works with it. But what is that metal magazine, if you dont mind me asking
Got myself a 6.5 CM and was looking for some cheap break-in or base-line ammo. I'm getting 3/4 MOA @ 100yds with a RRA LAR-8M 20". I use Hornady ELD Match when it matters (not reloading yet) and this stuff when plinking or practicing. No issues.
I got some very nice results from the 140gr rounds today. 1/4in to 1in @150 yards. It outperformed the Winchester, Nosler and Hornady rounds that I had on hand. So I THINK my Savage is liking the S&B best.
It makes no difference in terms of barrel life/wear if the bullet is a FMJ, soft point, or hollow point, if they are all going the same velocity. This also assuming all are of copper jacket construction and quality manufacturing.
I shoot .5 and less in an RPR with this and magtech in 140. Some groups are ragged hole 5 round groups some all the way out to clover leaf 5 round groups. GMM AND SIG MATCH don't shoot any better in my rifle. Why spend 30 dollars a box. I get this for 12 a box or 300 $ pre 500 rnds.

Norma is on sale at academy sports online continuously, for 32.00 a box. I do like the SB a lot
Just picked up 1000 rounds for $0.55/ea shipped. Very happy.
I need a time machine :(

My goodness that scope is mounted high! I just got some s&b soft point for my 6.5x55. Gonna use it for deer hunting.
I’ve had great luck with these. Always sub moa out of my weatherby. And sub 1/2 moa out of my ruger precision rifle.

I just picked up a box of this to try in my Savage Axis-II XP 6.5 Creedmore ( of course) I'm going to see how my rifle likes it tomorrow morning.
Subscribed. Just to see your friend mock you more...

I have been looking for a more budget friendly 6.5 creedmoor round and I think this is going to be my first ammunition purchase once I get my rifle.

They have 131gr soft point now
To save us time, put the gun, ammo and range to target in the videos title :) Thanks!
Good lord that scopes absurdly high.
Gotta hold down that trigger until the recoil is finished for better groups.
The stuff isn't really all that bad, shot up a bunch for the brass.
Nice video! 😅🤣 But dudes shot was high left on the board! Hell of a flyer, lets correct that .91 to 1.5 inch lol
These S&B are $2.20 per round here in Jan 2022
$1.50/rd here in Virginia Beach. Feb 2022

Your scope mount is on backwards
Yeah, I know. It wasn't the best tool for the job and reversing it made it work. If you check out my later videos I have updated my scope and mounts.
OMG good call.

I was told FMJ it the best for barrels? Any insite?
It makes no difference in terms of barrel life/wear if the bullet is a FMJ, soft point, or hollow point, if they are all going the same velocity. This also assuming all are of copper jacket construction and quality manufacturing.
Dude, your scope mount is backwards

Magtech makes 6.5 now same price longer pointier bullet
Gotta hold down that trigger until the recoil is finished for better groups.
Your scope mount is upside down. Nice video though
It’s not upside down. It’s backwards.
😁
Don't use the bc on the box the real bc is .465
Good to know, thanks for the heads up.
The radars put the real BC at .465 you use that lie on the box will throw you off a bit.
Thanks.
Just found some for $3.50 per round. Ugh. It doesn't qualify as budget-friendly anymore. Redic
Ouch!
I just can't see buying ammo thats so erratic, some good groups and some bad. Its just a waste.
