I want to give everyone a heads up as these prices are pretty darn good.. I bought the S&B 9mm last time they had a sale and experienced FTEs every third round with my Sig p250. Phil at SS was even puzzled because the gun shot flawlessly with everything else. I did notice that the rounds felt slightly tacky out of the box. Still have 200+ rounds. Maybe I should soak them in some dish washing liquid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jon 264 Posted July 7, 2011 Is anyone local to Somerset/Mercer/Middlesex counties planning on heading out there anytime soon? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jon 264 Posted July 7, 2011 My mags or gun then? You may have gotten a bad batch... especially if everything else ran through the gun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duppie 73 Posted July 7, 2011 You may have gotten a bad batch... especially if everything else ran through the gun. Any harm in soaking them in hot soapy water? ie: leakage, wet powder., because I believe it has to do with the tacky shells. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Malsua 1,422 Posted July 7, 2011 I've put 500 rounds of SB 9mm through my HK P30. The 6 times I've seen the slide fail to lock back on the last round was during that 500. Before(~1000 rounds) and since (~1000 rnds) with different brands it's not occurred again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Sportsman's Guide club price is $10.67 for 50... http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/sellier-bellot-pistol-9-mm-luger-115-gr-fmj-50-rds.aspx?a=148319 Good pricing and occasionally free shipping. The cost of shipping is still cheaper than driving out to Cabela's and back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RecessedFilter 222 Posted July 7, 2011 Although ordering off the net is always easy, I don't mind the drive to Cabelas as I live in western NJ and I go out there to buy other stuff as well, so it's not too bad for me. J0n, sorry I didn't post this up sooner or else I would have gotten you whatever you needed when I was out there this morning. Being there at 8am when the doors open is awesome, it's like you and 5 other early birds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
njluger 5 Posted July 8, 2011 Never had any problems with S&B 9mm, I'd suggest it to anyone. Czech ammo in a Czech gun, flawless performance is to be expected. Last time I was at the range, a guy in the next port over had a new Beretta 92FS that was choking with each mag full of ammo. I asked him what he was shooting and he said, "some crappy S&B ammo from the czech republic." I then loaded up a mag of his ammo in my CZ 75B and it ran flawlessly. He was shocked. Eastern Europeans are used to running crap through their guns Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duppie 73 Posted July 8, 2011 I'd contact S&B directly before soaking them in water. I sent S&B an Email and now waiting for a reply, in the interim I wiped down 15 rounds with a mild degreaser, dried them and then wiped them down with a silicone coated cloth and taking them to the range next week. Seem like a bit of effort in order to shoot them but we'll see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
