Sellier & Bellot 10mm 180gr FMJ

[Taterhead]

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.

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).

[Intercooler]

Sounds about right to me.

Puny but good. How does the brass seem?

[wolfsburg_de]

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:

Just ordered 3 boxes from sportsman guide . It's about the same price as 40 s&w .

[hikfromstik]

    Shot a box today and was surprised at the accuracy.  At 25 yds most hit inside 3" group.  Did notice a bit more smoke , but no biggie. I thought they were very good for the money .

[Blades]

They sold out.

[Dave84]

Any brick and mortar stores carry these?

[Wolfie]

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.

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

[PCFlorida]

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.

Selway has the Sig Sauer for $21 plus shipping.  Still cheap compared to LGS. 

[Bozz10mm]

Well, just checked Selway again.  Only 1 box of the Sig available.
