Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Anyone use Sellier & Bellot primers? Feedback? Cabela's has them in all sizes at 17.99 per 1000....... LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Excellent primers. S&B is a NATO ammo maker. Their loaded ammo is among the best also. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLG Lump: Actually, that's why I asked....I picked up some of their .40 S&W, and it was DIRTY. So I thought I 'd ask before I jumped at this deal.

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Did the gun function correctly? I have never had any issue with anything with the S&B label on it. I have about 5K of their 5.56mm NATO ammo and my M4 eats it up. Used the ammo at Gunsite and never an issue in the 1200+ rnds fired in the class. Have fired both their .45acp and .40S&W extensively(Gunsite classes)with no malfunctions. Respectfully, OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Nelson Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I have never had any issue with anything with the S&B label on it. I'd heard similar knocks against S&B ammo but I picked up some for my Mosin-Nagant because there was a deal on it, and I was used to cleaning it right away because I'd been shooting corrosive surplus ammo in it. The S&B shot well and was less dirty than the surplus. (Not a high bar to clear, but good enough I'd be willing to use S&B again.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Guess you have never fired any of that 'Rusky' ammo then-- OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yul Lose Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I've probably loaded and shot 10 to 12,000 S&B large pistol primers with not one fail to fire. I've shot them in .45 colts tuned by Bob Munden and Ruger Bisleys with lightened springs and also Pedersoli Lightnings and Uberti 1873 rifles and never had one not go bang. I can't say the same about Winchester which I used to use. In my Munden Colts I had many Winchester fail to fire, YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
