   I received it today to put it through some pistols. They use two 25 round trays inside  ???

The two 25 rd trays is normal in my experience for their handgun ammo.  I personally don't mind and love the fact that they have the smallest boxes so storage is much more efficient.  now I only wish they would come out with some good and hot defensive handgun rounds, it would be good for us and them.  IMHO S&B is great ammo and a good value to boot.

I can't wait to see how these perform Intercooler.  fingers crossed they have some spice so we have a decently priced practice round that isn't a 40sw velocity.  I hate practicing with watered down stuff while having Underwood for defense.  way too much of a recoil difference.

I like the smaller boxes also, I cannot stand those big Buffalo Bore boxed that waste space.

They have pretty good practice ammo in my experience. It's a little dirtier than most but that doesn't matter to me. It's not like I'm trying to clean out an AR. If I remember their 9mm is rated to have a pretty respectable speed.

thats a good price for loaded ammo! I have shot & liked their ammo in other calibers. I recently loaded up a batch of their 180gr. JHP 10mm bullets. a box of their loaded ammo with them should be pretty reasonable too.

If it eclipses 1100 FPS this evening I might buy a whole case. The Sig stuff is great, but at a much higher price!

Post by: Pablo on April 19 2016 08:23:40 AM MDT
At 14.95 for plinking ammo that pretty much blows others out of the water. How is the brass btw?
Title: Re: Sellier & Bellot 10mm 180gr FMJ
Post by: sgmtino on April 19 2016 08:39:27 AM MDT
$13.95 when you buy 20 boxes that's basically like getting free shipping works out to $15.05 a box shipped
Title: Re: Sellier & Bellot 10mm 180gr FMJ
Post by: sqlbullet on April 19 2016 09:25:31 AM MDT
That is $305.00/1K shipped.  That is a great deal.

Of course, they only have 19 in stock.  I was gonna pull the trigger on factory practice ammo for the first time in seven or eight years at that price.

Still shooting them, but looks like a new bang for the buck round...

Roughly 1160 on the 6" and 1145 in the 4.75".

Good bit more.  1K rounds would be $391.82 delivered to my door.

Extra $100 puts me back to pulling the lever on my press.

But if you don't reload or are looking for a start on brass for reloading, this is still a good deal.

Yes indeed it is more. But....they have it in stock.

I ran 10 shot strings for these to gather more data.

EAA Limited Pro 4.75" 1140, 1146, 1154, 1145, 1140, 1138, 1137, 1145, 1142, 1134. Average = 1142.1 FPS/ 521 LBS
EAA Super Match 6" 1162, 1161, 1162, 1172, 1188, 1162, 1140, 1160, 1161, 1161. Average = 1162.9 FPS/ 541 LBS

  I always love shooting the EAA 10's. My favorite!   8)

All I can say as a reloader, I HATE S&B brass. I have an old Lee Enfield that I was getting case head separations out of. I was thinking it was just an old eroded chamber until I noticed that every case that separated was one made from S&B brass. No other manufacturer's brass was doing it. As I don't trust their brass, how in the heck can I trust their ammo?

Post by: Dave84 on April 26 2016 09:06:17 PM MDT
Fresh factory ammo will be fine for you. Shot thousands of their 9mm and 45.

I almost picked up a couple of boxes from my LGS the other day.  $20 a box, I like that they are cheaper than Sig by a couple of dollars.  Might have to pick up a couple of boxes, I have a bunch of their 9mm stuff that I have yet to shoot but I hear its good stuff.

I've bought stuff from them many times in the past. After sandy hook I nicknamed them cheaper than platinum.

Post by: edwardmdoonan on May 03 2016 03:52:57 PM MDT
I ordered 2 pmags from them the day before sandy hook I got my shipping notice than they did their whole pause in sales thing a few days after that and I get 2 separate emails from them First one said sorry the mags I ordered were now out of stock and I'd get my credit card refunded the next email was to inform me that pmags were in stock but now they cost 5 times what I ordered them for. I understand price gouging but the cancelled my order and re listed them for a higher price so now I'll never buy from them again. Sorry for the thread jack.

That's respectable. Very close to the Win STHP that I carry. Thanks for the report.


I'm also curious about the brass. I'd expext it to be fine based upon experience loading S&B in other cartridges. If it could could had for 30.5 cents a round, it is pretty close to a push for the cost of hand loaded fmj ammo in new Starline cases. If a guy needed brass, might as well buy some of this factory stuff.

Post by: wolfsburg_de on May 09 2016 07:14:30 PM MDT
Had a chance to chrono some S&B 10mm today and got:

Witness 4.5": 1111,1104,1108,1107,1095 (average = 1105 fps)
Glock 20 w/Lone Wolf 4.6": 1102,1094,1094,1123,1112 (average = 1105 fps)

This is about the same velocities as Armscor (at least the stuff I bought last year) and considerably below Sig 180gr FMJ which chrono'd 1224 fps from the EAA today).

Puny but good. How does the brass seem?
Title: Re: Sellier & Bellot 10mm 180gr FMJ
Post by: wolfsburg_de on May 10 2016 11:58:30 AM MDT
The brass all looked fine, with no signs of cracks or damage (my Witness is pretty gentle on brass although it does try to send it into the next county). It looked like it was making a good chamber seal based on cleanliness and I didn't see the primer doing anything weird (reflow, protrusion, etc). I haven't tried reloading any of it yet.

BTW, Sportsmansguide has it in stock now at $15.99/box for non-members:

Found this and it was pretty good for the price and I will buy more.

My only complaint was that is was a smoky round, when I got to my 3rd round in a mag I had a smoke cloud around me.

Anyone looking to buy more S&B 10mm, check out Midway:

http://www.midwayusa.com/product/328319/sellier-and-bellot-ammunition-10mm-auto-180-grain-full-metal-jacket

33-36 cents per round before shipping/discounts. I added one 1000 round box to my cart, then applied:
789541365 as a coupon code for 20% off
Then add the cheapest free shipping item to lower overall shipping price:

http://www.midwayusa.com/product/129448/cold-steel-blowgun-quiver-for-625-caliber

... and voila! 28 cents per round delivered. That's cheaper than what it costs me to make 10mm ammo using new starline brass.

Post by: PCFlorida on June 17 2016 04:18:27 PM MDT
True.

I ended up with $282 (and 10 targets).

- 104 1000 FMJ
- 30 1000 Primers
- 162 1000 cases

and I'm already -20 and haven't even subtracted the powder.

Sweet!

I bought 15 boxes from Sportman, came out to around .30 a round or so. I also noticed it is still available here for under .31 a round shipped to me.   While I reload I figure this would be good plinking ammo and I will check out the brass vs the Starline I generally use.

Under $300/K is a great price.

I would comment though, they did the muzzle energy calculation wrong.  Looks like someone fat fingered the velocity into the calculator as the ammo would need to be exactly 200 fps faster to make 743 lb-ft.

Still great practice/plink ammo.

ORDERED. Wow thanks hugely!! I really appreciate it. Have a Merry Christmas!!

I just need some plinking ammo and won't get in the reloading groove again until 2017.
