Sellier & Bellot ammo report

[imarangemaster]

Well, my wife is out of town this week-end, so I was able to sneak down to my 25 yard range by my creek to try the Underwood in the new potbelly and S&B ammo. (She has prohibited me from shooting until after the rebuild of the shoulder and being released by the doctor next spring- She feels that shooting my AK too soon after 1st surgery caused it to come un-done! It's BS, the AK with a 103 brake has no more recoil than a carbine, but she could make my life miserable!!!!).

I took some WCC white box, some S&B FMJ, and some 25 yard M1 carbine targets from TM9-1276 (p 53). I wanted to see how much difference changing into the pot belly made. Long story short, I had to click one click right after the stock change. WCC shot about 1" to 1 1/4" inch 5 shot groups, but the S&B did a nice 3/4" group (25 yards)! Center of group was identical for S&B and WCC. Good ammo for matches. Need to pick up another 1,000 when I can. I had shot S&B a few years ago in a different carbine, but wanted to try it in this one.
The 100/150 setting POI is about .25 inch above POA, which according to the BC is about right for a 100 yard dead on hold, but should be 1.2" for dead on at 150. When I put it on the 200 setting, the POI was 1.3 inch above POA at 25, and should put it about 3.25" above POA at 100 and dead on at 150. It should be perfect for a 6 O'Clock hold an a 6 1/2" SR1 100 yard bullseye. I love it when a weapon performs as it should!

I know I could trim the front sight, but it hurts nothing to leave it on 200 for dead on at 150.
