SK Flat Nose Match ammo

Post by 40xguy »

Any comments or feedback on SK Flat Nose Match for smallbore ?
Also, thought I heard a while back, that Eley was somehow involved with SK ammo... can anyone shed any light on this?
thank you.....

I use SK Flatnose Match and Lapua CenterX in my Anschutz M54 (1410) with good results!
Can't make up my mind whether SK FN Match is not just as good as CenterX !

SK & Lapua are made in Germany by the same company! (Nammo Schonebeck GmbH)
although I understand on different machines.

I don't know whether Eley has anything to do with SK - doubt it.
Perhaps the importers to the UK/US?

SK Fltnose Match gives better results for me than normal SK Match!

40X Guy,

You're thinking of Wolf. Their 0.22LR ammo was made by Lapua/SK (SK Standard +, and Rifle Match), until this year when Wolf began to source from Eley.

Not something I have personal experience, as we don't get Wolf 0.22 in the UK, but US fora have reported a change in Wolf, now with an E head stamp.

Yes, new WOLF ammo is made by Eley and even comes in their boxes. I was pretty surprised since it used to be made by Lapua and around SK yellow box in quality.
