Anyone have any experiences with Sellier & Bellot brass? I've got 120 pieces of 6.5 creedmoor brass that I'm wanting to possibly reload. Any better or worse than other brands of rifle brass? Thanks.

I've used it. I don't remember it being awful. Not as good as some others..Lapua, Norma, etc, but usable. It's been awhile (few years), but I vaguely remember (think) there was something about the primer pockets being tight....or loose. Really don't remember. But I do remember that I didn't have any catastrophic failures... 😂

Brass snobs. 😆 if it's yeller and ain't got cracks I'm stuffing some powder and lead in it.

I've used a bunch of different brands of brass.
Lapua and Peterson were likely the best I used.
That said...I used a BUNCH of Norma...after they opened a plant here in the states.
I could usually find their Whitetail line of ammo on sale for less than I could buy the brass for.
Easy decision. It also gave me the opportunity to find out that their loaded ammo was extremely good. So good that I ultimately gave up hand loading and just use their ammo.

I've also got about 80 pieces of Norma brass that I'll probably use at some point. My Bergara really likes the Norma 140 gr whitetail load. The BC on that soft point just isn't that great.

I had good results with the 143g bond strike, but I was loading for a 6.5-284. Think I sent some to @MUP to try in his CM...don't know if he ever tried them. Not positive it was even him I sent them to... 😂

It's available as loaded ammo if you want to give it a try...
