mmahoney Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Anyone have issues with Eley 38 Super Comp? I bought some at Nationals in October, and just got around to shooting some. I'm finding that I have a number of rounds in each box that seem to be loaded very light. The problem rounds have enough powder to make the projectile exit the barrel, but not enough to eject the brass and chamber a new round. Antone else run into this?

HI5-O Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I bought a case a year ago that was loaded in Starline 38SC brass. It chrono’d at 173 pf and very consistent. Now I see they are using Eley 38SC brass. Haven’t tried this batch and was going to order more but they don’t have the components to make loaded ammo.

Bakerjd Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I've run about 2k of their 9mm major and it was nice. About 175Pf. Worked great in my open gun. Wish I had bought more when it was available. It was cheap too. I think I paid less then $20/box. But I had never heard of eley or killrough shooting sports and was skeptical.

LmtdOne Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I am having a hard time finding 38 super comp brass these days. Both Eley and Starline have been out of stock every time I have checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpYoursPal Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I recently got some Eley ammo to try in my new SC barrel. Functioned great, but it felt like it was loaded pretty hot. Seems like it would be around 175PF as the poster above mentioned. Even with a RN bullet it was still accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmahoney Posted July 14, 2021 Author Share Posted July 14, 2021 Just thought that I would give an update - I talked to Eley about the issue that I was having with a few "light" rounds in 38SC. They replaced the rounds that I had and the new ammo that they sent functions flawlessly. It definitely makes major power factor, cycles the gun easily and is quite accurate. I appreciate a company that stands behind their product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRPOperator Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I really liked the ELEY I shot as well. Seems a bit hot in most guns but they are prob trying to make sure its major for about any open gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter87 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 So my gun ran the 38sc no issues made 178 which is where I want it … also if you declare your ammo doesn’t matter if you make it but I do understand wanting to make it anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyolo Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 An acquaintance of mine in Texas was using eley 38 SC and got a squib during an area or nationals in 2021. Other than that I've heard great things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
