Sellier & Bellot bullets

[MS 9x56]

That's correct, 8mm is as large as we go on that bullet type.

I am going to see if my LGS can order me in several boxes of the 9.3x62 as I love hunting with my CZ 550 FS. Can you tell me what the FPS are in that load?

Velocity on that load is 2,280 FPS from a 23.5" barrel. We don't have anything in stock, but more of it should be in July production.

Any chance S&B will make the 7mm SPCE bullet available for reloaders?

No plans to do so at this time. Demand for loaded ammunition still exceeds capacity, so everything goes into internal production. We'll have all copper XRG SPCE loads out this Fall. I'll be shooting it for the first time next week. Looks promising especially for the European markets where lead will be banned in the not too distant future.

So about on par with PPU?

Sorry, I'm not familiar with their load

173gr SPCE

Tango, maybe you can tell me I my M77 has great difficulty loading the 173gr 7x57. leaves witness marks of the riffleing on the bullets. also hard to remove, the bullet did stay in the case so powder did not go every where. loaded and shot some S&B 140 or 139's great.

have you seen this before?

@aandy767 it sounds like you have a short throated 7x57 akin to a 7-08. It probably was made for 140gr bullets. You can have the throat lengthened so that it shoots 175gr bullets.

@Tango I’m not sure if you’re the fellow I purchased several cases of ammo from over the years? I interacted with a Magtech exec that personally liked 7x57 and used his influence to get S&B 175gr Nosler Partition Ammo imported. Do you import that loading any longer or offer any other 7x57 loads that use bullets from the industry at large? (E.g. not bullets made by S&B)

Sounds like a throat issue, may need to check the throat depth to see what’s going on there.
I use the 8mm 196 gn spce in my 8x68 and they are silly accurate, same as my friends 308with the 180gn spce factory loads

Just realised rookhawk said the same thing

It seems most US manufacturers rifles are not throated as long as European arms. It is a shame.
