Cabela's Specials

Recommended Posts

Just went to Cabela's today for their sale and Herters 7.62x39 on sale for $4 a box and Sellier & B 9mm 115gr is $10 a box.

 

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.

I've shot through 1500 rounds of the S&B in my HK USP, BHP, and Sig 226 without a single failure.

My mags or gun then?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ;)

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.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
