Factory 39Gr SBK loads discontinued?

[Kale_M]

Heard on another fourm that federal is discontinuing there 39gr SBK factory ammo. Anyone hear anything about this?

[Joe O]

No,but it seems like a mistake to me.They shot .333 out of my LRPV right out of the box.

I have had similar results to Joe. For a factory load they sure do shoot great.

Thought factory loads only came in rimfire, that's weird.

[wirelessguy2005]

thats true. You haven't heard about the new 39 SBK rimfire rounds?? They really scream compared to the regular rimfire rounds.

If you have trouble with the 40-gr V-Max, I noticed Midway and Cabelas have an HSM brand of .204 loaded with a 40-gr Berger bullet. I checked the database in QuickLoad and it says the Berger is almost 0.05" shorter than the 39-gr SBK. If that's true, it should stabilize even better than the 39-gr SBK.

Kale-- Are you shooting the factory 39 BK ammo? If so HSM ammo from Cabelas has those loaded 50/box.
