Sellier & Belllot 32gr .204

[Kiwishooter]

Hey guys,

Anyone tried the Sellier & Bellot .204 factory fodder with the 32gr Sierra BK?

Brought 3x boxes to run in the barrel of my new Kimber Pro Varmint. Velocity out of the 22inch tube averaged 3996fps for 5 shots.

Accuracy hovered around the 0.5 - 0.75 moa, with a couple of groups under 0.5 moa. However, I wasn't reading too much into it, barrel was being broken in and my rifle may not even like that particular load. This weekend I will try the 32gr Hornady loads and see how they perform. I brought dies, primers and 39gr Sierra BKs so will load up a few rounds with some BLC-2 I have. This is the projectile I am going to use exclusively. After reading all the reports on its accuracy and performance I think it is probably a no brainer.

Man I love the Kimber! The barrel is the easiest to clean up, and copper fouls so little. I used Shooters Choice and left it in the barrel for 5 - 10 minutes, patch came out with a little bit of blue on it, then after about 3 - 5 patches, the patch was perfectly clean.

Cheers,

Michael.

Welcome to the forum Michael, It sounds like she is going to be a shooter. Let us know how it does with the reloads after you get to try some out.
