I think both the basic and match flat nose ammo were in stock at Grafs earlier today.I'd been watching for both basic & match to be in stock at Grafs - never have seen any of the Match listed yet, though they did have some basic in stock a few weeks ago. Need to try some Eley EPS to see if the FN stuff will feed in either of my 40X repeaters, as well as the V-22 - if it won't feed reliably, I can stop watching for the SK flatnose stuff.
I really like the Rifle Match...I should have bought more. Won't make that mistake again should prices come downThe last time I spoke with Cathy at Good Shooting, she mentioned that SK had re-named Flatnose Basic as Flatnose Target, and if you go to SK's website, you'll see that. I don't shoot the FN in matches, but keep magazines loaded with it for critter control here at the farm. I could buy some Eley Subsonic HP ammo for the same purpose, but I like not having to mix ammo with different bullet lube, and the sound of the bullet impact on the few 'coons I've shot with the FN more or less validates my theory that it's transferring energy to the target better than round nose bullets.
I've not heard anything about them discontinuing Rifle Match (red lettering on box). I know I had to test at least a dozen lots of RM three years ago before I found one worth buying in quantity, but it's good enough that I wish I'd have been able to find another case or two to add to the two cases I was able to buy...
Just checked MH and they are out of stock. SG Ammo has it but I am not paying their price.@ Nik H
mile high and a few other vendors are still stocking SK match.
Good Shooting has FNM in stock now for $7.50 a box. FYI only.Resurrecting this again
The only place that is carrying the red box SK rifle Match is SG Ammo and it is $$$ ($100/Brick). That is $25 more than what I used to spend.
The flatnose match is available at a few places for $75/Brick but I don't want to buy it if it works poorly.
The SK Rifle Match is still shown on the SK website. Someone told me that they are discontinuing it and replacing it by the flatness rifle Match and Long Range Match

Hi Dennis,I never got around to trying to buy lot samples of SK FN before the real serious shortages hit us - but rather bought a brick or two when I could find it, and this was the Basic, not the Match. The last couple of bricks I was able to snag from Good Shooting several months ago were the Target grade, and I don't really know how it's supposed to compare to Match grade FN. Some of the FN Basic I've had shot pretty good at 50yds our of the Shilen barrels on a couple of my CZ457s, but it wasn't as consistent or good as a very good lot of SK Std+ in the V-22s. If SK & Lapua were to somehow manage to get production ramped up to satisfy demand, I'd like to try lot samples of both grades of FN, along with some of their Biathlon Sport.
