SELLIER & BELLOT Primers anyone using them?

[dean.boschert]

I really like S&B primers. The Cabela's nearest me (about half hour away) has had them for $19.99 for a few months, and they're always on the shelf!! Every time I'm there I grab a few boxes of each SPP and LPP.

No issues for me, have loaded thousands. They're becoming my favorite primer!!

Hazelwood MO Cabelas only has LP and SR, when asked all the pions say is, "if it ain't out on da floor, we ain't got it." Annoying *******s

If you have to order Cableas only wants $20 for hazmat $8-10 less than some other places. Catch them when they have a $5 shipping deal and it's only $25 to have them shipped.
Hard to argue with $20 a 1000, I would have bought more than I did except CA limits how many you can have at one time.
Shot another 500 SP since my last post, no issues.

I just ordered 5K and got them in for Large Rifle from Cabelas. Fast shipping and haven't tried them yet. Going to use for my new Henry 30-30.

I've run about a thousand LPs through .44 and .45 and like them. No problems yet, except finding them on the shelves.

Cabelas does charge tax also. I THINK that only applies in a state where they have a physical store, but I'm not sure. But even with tax, it's still a good deal.

Does anyone know if they make these in SP Magnum? I know S&B sell Magnum ammo, but I have not seen their Magnum primers for sale.

My experience at the ST. Louis Cabellas was just the opposite.
Floor worker asked if I needed help. I said I was looking for S&B primers in SP, but the shelf was empty.
Floor worker: Let me go check the warehouse.
Comes back 10 minutes later with 6K SP, said there are lots of S&B primers, didn't know why they weren't on shelf.
Next time they tell you if there not on the shelf we don't have them, ask t speak to their supervisor.

Must be a good deal, the website says " on back-order" already.

I have shot a ton of their 9MM ammo fully loaded. It's good stuff and
I always look for it at Cabela's.

Burned a bunch more.
After doing some more chrono tests I would say that 9mm rounds loaded with the S+B SP are about 20 fps slower than when loaded with the CCI SP.
No big deal just something to be aware of. Could be important if you need to make a PF.
