Sellier & Bellot 8x57 IS 9.0g/140GR SCR (Screen-Ammo) 50 cartridges

Training in shooting ranges is becoming increasingly important. Not only because shooting certificates are required in many places to participate in a driven hunt. For reasons of fair hunting, every hunter must have the ambition to optimize their shooting skills under realistic conditions.

Training in a shooting range cannot be accomplished with just one box of ammunition. During the various film sequences, hundreds of shots can be fired quickly. The usual hunting ammunition cannot be used for this – it would be too costly for any wallet.

The manufacturer Sellier & Bellot, known for its affordable ammunition, has developed a special shooting range ammunition that is also ideal for other disciplines such as the "running boar." Shooting ranges are closed spaces, and high shooting frequencies are the norm there.

The shooter is increasingly exposed to the resulting emissions, whether sound or air. Hearing protection can guard against sound. However, it becomes more challenging with gaseous pollutants. Ventilation systems can exchange the room air, but every shooter knows the specific taste right after the shot – the spatial proximity between the cartridge chamber, muzzle, nose, and mouth is indeed very small. Only a low-pollutant construction of the ammunition can help.

Exactly that is what Sellier & Bellot has done. The "Screen Ammo" features a lead-free zinc core bullet with a tin-coated jacket and a low-pollutant NONTOX boxer primer. Due to this construction, the cartridge releases hardly any traces of lead, mercury, barium, or antimony, making it ideal for indoor shooting.

Low recoil
The high shooting frequency in the shooting range is not taken lightly by everyone. With the new Screen Ammo, Sellier & Bellot has loaded a special powder that significantly reduces bullet speed and thus recoil. However, there is still enough power available to ensure reliable function in "self-loaders." Young hunters will also appreciate the pleasant shooting behavior. Of course, the Screen Ammo is not suitable for hunting itself.

Low cleaning effort
A visit to a shooting range usually entails extensive barrel cleaning. The new Screen Ammo keeps this effort to a minimum: the tin-coated bullet jacket reduces friction in the barrel and, in combination with the lower bullet speed, decreases heat development in the barrel. This leads to significantly less residue in the barrel.

Familiar point of impact
No one wants to zero their rifle specifically for training. With the Screen Ammo, that is not necessary! The point of impact is the same as with the usual hunting ammunition. Training can therefore begin immediately without having to adjust the sight.

Low costs
Intensive training and thus improved shooting results are prerequisites for fair hunting and ensure safe handling of the weapon. These are central points for the future of hunting. Therefore, Sellier & Bellot offers the Screen Ammo in a practical 50-pack. And Frankonia deliberately keeps the packaging price low so that regular training is not a question of budget.
