Sellier and Bellot Ammo
Is this good ammo for my M1A Loaded? It's FMJ 147 and 180 Grains?? It was farily cheap at Cabales so that's why I bought it.
Thanks for the help,
Joe
I have never used that type of ammo before, but I am told that its no good.
I've shot the snot out of their 9mm flavor without issues, but nothing in that caliber.
Sorry, never shot the .308Win S&B, but I shoot a ton of it in 9mm and in .223 and it is great. Better accuracy than most other factory ammo for the same price and great brass for reloading. I usually average around 1.5 moa with my AR with this ammo, compared to 2-2.5moa with M193 and .75moa with my handloads.

if its the 80s dated stuff in the light green boxes, it works well but is corrosive.
The ammo I bought is non corrisive.
Stay away from the 80's stuff, its very dangerous. Pull the trigger, *click* nothing.. 5 seconds later BANG! I bought 5 boxes and tried a few from each, about 50% had a failure rate.
My only experience with S&B ammo is 45ACP. It has been excellent ammo in every respect.
I've shot several hundred rounds through an M1A Loaded without issue. I believe the M1A prefers the 147 grain.
i cant comment on how well s&b works in a m1a but the new manufacture stuff is high quality ammo. winchester contracts them to make brass for them in weird metric calibers. and sometimes even common calibers.
Agreed on the comments above regarding 9 mm and .223 Remington caliber S&B ammunition, good stuff. I have no experience with S&B ammunition in .308 Winchester. I would not use any 180 grain ammunition in a M1A, 175 grain cartridges at most.
I have shot a fair amount out of an RRA A4 varmint testing it for accuracy and frankly it sucked. It went bang everytime and cycled the action but the groups were terrible every 4th or 5th shot you would get a flier that wouldn't even hit the paper at 100 yards and when shooting off a bench with a dialed in scope that is pretty bad. I added it to my do not buy list of ammo.
