Sellier and Bellot Ammo

[35Waylon]

Anybody use this ammo?  I was thinking of buying some for my 357sig.  Just wondering if it was any good.

[Lee N. Fielder]

I've shot quite a bit of it.  It's very good ammo and the brass cases are reloadable.  It's way better than the cheaper Russian steel-cased stuff.  S&B has been in business since 1825 so it's not like they're new kids on the block.

I will second Lee N. Fielder on this.  I use S&B in 45, 9mm, 380, 32 and 25acp for pistol and have used their 38 Spl.  In rifle I use their 8x57, 303 Brit and 6.5 Swede.  All ammo is brass cased and reloadable.  Their ammo is made to original European specs and is not the watered down stuff American ammo makers try and pawn off on you.  I fyou shoot a European caliber or hunt with a older mil-surp, S&B ammo is the best bet.  Clean, not corrosive, reloadable, inexpensive and made to original specs.  Ya can't do better than that. 

Regarding the 357 Sig - most likely made to original specs.  They should have a chart available on their website that shows the ballistics of each offering.  HTH.  Mikey.

I have shot tons of S&B, I really like their 6.5x55, it performs very well on Texas sized whitetails and hogs.

I don't think you will find any problems with the .357 amm, I have shot a lot of 9mm , .40 and .45 produced by them.  It all works well and is as accurate as my old eyes.  I have been looking for a good buy on .357 Sig myself, but haven't found it at a reasonable (?) price.  I have a bunch of cases, guess I will buy a set of dies and start making my own.

Just ordered 300 rounds of S&B for 140 bucks delivered. Not a bad deal I thought.  I am anxious to see how it shoots.

I reload quite a bit and I shoot S&B to get the brass at a reasonable cost.
I have shot quite a bit of 8X57 without a problem. My brother has shot nearly 1000 rounds of 40 S&W
without any problems.

One minor caution about S&B. At least for my .223, I quit reloading S&B brass. For whatever reason, I have a great deal of difficulty decapping this brass. Seems to me that the crimp is much stronger than any Lake City or similar military brass, so I just don't shoot S&B in .223 any more. No problems with the actual shooting or with other calibers.

Went to the range this weekend to try out some of that S&B.  Very impressed!  Recoil was a little stiff out of my Glock 32 but I am very happy.  I will be buying some more S&B.

[Old Fart]

I've shot some and I have no problem with it.

cleaner than a lot of lower price handgun ammo

I have not shot their ammo but I really like their pistol brass. I load 9mm,38Spl,
357Mag,40S&W,& 45ACP. The primer pockets are a bit snug but has never caused a problem.
GOOD LUCK and GOOD SHOOTING!!!
