Think he meant the seller being a comedian?!

I appreciate the help anyway!

Interestingly asked at Bisley range office today and they said they don't have any.....

The only other place someone suggested was a surplus store.

You could probaly buy some at the range office at Bisley..

They would probaly put the money into their charity. 

I did wonder this, but someone said they weren't used anymore as not very PC, but I'm there tomorrow anyway so will ask. Thanks!

We've got a boat load of AICS mags right now.

10 Round .223 Polymer @ £30 each

10 Round .308 Metal @ £52.50 each

Grab them before they're gone.

Would these fit an M77 Ruger Gunsite Scout rifle? The stock mag is an "Accurate" mag if that helps.

Sold pending usual

As per heading I've got 500 Hornady 130gr ELD Match for sale due to a change in plans.

£42 per box posted

One box has been opened but inner bag has not as per pics.

To anyone who is interested, the topic at hand the S&B Creedmoor ammo. Is it worth it? I’m undecided. 

I believe it’s marketed as a training round or plinking ammo. It’s not target minded I don’t think just being FMJ. 

Out of a 26” plus a moddy it meters in at 2734fps with a “ok” BC of 0.51. Strelok tells me this gets me out to 900m supersonic. Unknown transonic performance. 

Compare this to Norma, 130gr which it quite hot at 2930 FPS with a BC of 0.548. This gets me out to 1100m supersonic. 

Ultimately the Norma and hornady options are better options.... but certainly more expensive. 

Average accuracy is seen with the S&B, I consistently grouped 1” with it. Ultimately the user needs to decide what accuracy they are happy with. Both Norma & hornady group 0.5-0.8” respectively. 

I’m struggling to see where the S&B falls in. Gets you out to most distances on Bisley, but when wanting to stretch the legs of it to it’s full potential (let’s say visiting Orion) there is clearly better options. 

For me, I can defo see a Home for S&B to run a barrel in far cheaper. But unless I’ve top shelf speed & accuracy,  the whole reason I’ve got a 6.5CM barrel then I’m going to use my .308 as a training round and save the barrel burning Creedmoor for extended ranges. 

 

Thanks Mark! Interesting results..... Much faster than I thought it would be.

I know dragging up and old thread but maybe useful for someone searching.....

The S&B 140gr FMJ 6.5 Creedmoor is now available at the NRA armoury for £17 per 20.

Bought a couple of boxes to try out, I've heard good things about other S&B ammo so perhaps it will be okay, certainly for my abilities and practice!
