Sellior&Bellot Primer testing!!!! GOOD RESULTS

[Reddrum]

Hello All

Tested some Sellior&Bellot LR Primers against CCI-BR2 and Fed.GM and I think these are pretty dogon good
They seem to be between the CCI and Fed. in both ES and cup hardness -- I actually saw ever so slightly better ES w/the Sellior&Bellots than the CCIs culling one very low # that I am certain was a neck tension issue, Long Story ).
Anyway for those looking for Primers -- Sinclair has these in stock -- If I remember correct they are around $32.00 per 1K
Testing was w/ 308win 26inch 3groove 11twist shooting 185BergerBT ahead of VihtN-540 and Varget from 2xfired Lapua.
Just for the sake of it - the average ES was sub 14fps. across 16+ shots., Red

I ran 5 of them out of my 6.5x284 prone rifle with N-165, Lapua bullets and cases and the gave me an ES-42, SD-17 and were 44 fps slower than my standard load. The group was slightly over .5 moa as well.
I hope this helps,
Lloyd

Dont know why but In both Our 308wins we are getting great results with these primers -- however they do seem to run a little slower with same charge weights vs. CCI.
Tested some in 243win and got higher ES bnut only tested 6 rounds.
Have tested in 68 308win loads and with a final load of VihtN540,42.7grns.) Lapua 3x fired and Berger185M-BT testing on this past Thursday ES across 23 rounds was 17fps,from cold shot to final round 16minutes to fire all ) Chrono was @ 10feet from muzzle. -- Actual velocity spread was from 2648 to 2665,2648was the cold shot)

I am going to Camp Butner next weekend and shoot a 2x600 on Sat. and a 2x1000 on Sun. I am going to load 1 relay worth for each distance w/CCI-BR2 and 1 relay worth for each w/Sellior&Bellot and see what happens??? !!! Will post results when I get home.
Have worked both loads here at home and ended up dropping .1grns of charge for the BR2 load -- am seeing almost = ES w/both but a slight velocity increase w/BR2 and .1grns. less charge, by slight I mean avg. 15fps vel. ), Red

P.S. I dont see that results matter a lot as Sinclair is now SOLD-OUT of these but it may help if these become available again!!
