Dead-Eyed Duck Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I am told that Sellier and Bellot 0.17 hmr is selling for 'a lot cheaper' than the equivalent in Hornady etc. Now I understood that the only firm doing 0.17 hmr was CCI, and this is then sold off under the names Hornady, CCI, Federal etc. Anyone had any experience of this at all?

Axe Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 After reading about this 'you know where' I made enquiries to see if I can get it locally. Westons, phoned the inporters Edgar Brothers, who said yes we now stock it but we havent any in for a month. From what I here its around £6.50 for 50 and works extremely well in CZ's. Westons made comment to Sellier & Bellot being extremely good ammunition at very competitive rates. Needless to say I have put my order in for some. If your after a good deal then look out for Remmington as Edgar Brothers are doing a promotion on it at the moment. It's what i'm using at the moment and I don't have a problem with it.

Thanks for your reply Axe Is this loaded by CCI? Is there a list of stockists anywhere? Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Well the closest you'll get to a stockists list is by visiting the Edgar Brothers Web Site. Links as follows; http://www.edgar-brothers.co.uk http://www.sellier-bellot.cz/ As for being loaded by CCI I would assume not. However that is just an assumtion based on the costings being so much cheaper. I would think that S&B actually get a better price than Hornady who developed the cartridges. Not forgetting S&B are also Czech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyCM Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 I tried a few S&B's recently (17g - green - ballistic tips) - they performed as good as any other make through my CZ & at £6.75 a box get the from me. They do look a bit rough around the edges (brass not bullet) and the spent cases showed more "stress" than other makes - but they fly ok for me.
