S & B Question

[Dan Morris]

Have a chance to pick up a few boxes of S&B 44 Mag ammo.....$25 a box...240gr JSP. Any one ever use S&B ammo? I'm totally in the dark as I've only used Rem/WW. Is it decent stuff?

yes, it's very decent.

loaded usually warmer than your standard rem/win off the shelf ammo.

Thanks, my Red Hawk will handle it.....got plenty of lead stuff I can load.....just no JSP for possible hunting! Trouble is there is none on shelves in Denver!

It worked ok in my Redhawk... Maybe not as consistaint as some higher end USA stuff, but good enough I'd shoot pigs with it.

Before the prices skyrocketed, Sellier & Bellot was my standard ammo. In fact when I notice prices starting up I went into hoard mode and bought several cases of S&B in each of my preferred calibers of 9mm, .223, 308 and 30-06.

Was always happy with how clean it was, and how accurate it was. Always seemed to be a high quality load as all wounds sounded and felt the same.

Even at today's prices if I had a choice between S&B and anything else, I would go with the S&B.

I've had issues with bullets coming out the the cases with their .38 spl, and their primer pockets are slightly undersized so the brass isn't good for reloading.

Appreciate the answers, I bought 8 boxes. That should have a few leftovers when son inherits the gun! I've got plenty of gas checked 300 gr left over from when REW n myself usta shoot together....about 1k. Fine on paper. Man, with his H110 load......light up the daylite!!!!
