What can any of you fellows tell me about the quality of this ammunition???

What about the quality of the bullets??

Where can it be purchased?

Thanks

The bullets are CRAP! The expand so much they turn themselves in side out and the penetration sucks.
They might work on max. elk sized game but definitly not bigger.
Dig a couple of more $ out of your wallet and buy ammo with a higher quality.

YIKES!!! One definitely NOT in favour.

Anyone else? I would be interested in them mainly as practice rounds, but thought I might try them on deer.

The quality of the ammunition is fine for most hunting conditions. Local clients have used this ammunition in my presence and shot several animals with good effect. I like this stuff and shot lots of it personally

I used S&B for plinking in my .223.... renamed it "sooty and black". Other than that, it was a reasonable, inexpensive plinking round.

I shoot alot of it in .45acp through my Kimber when I don't have the time to load my own, I think it is a great bargin for the money $8 and some change for a box of 50 through cheaper than dirt.

J.R.,

Around home for practice and small deer, it's OK. If I'm putting out a lot of cash for a hunt away from home, where there might just be that"ONE SHOT," I'd much rather have premiums. Their shotgun shells have always performed well when I have used them but the rifle ammunition isn't very consistent.

Their 00 buck is probably the best ammo available for bowling pins (where legal).

H.C.

Henry, what does the bowling alley have to say about that?

I have used this stuff for plinking, but never to hunt. They have the strangest 7MM bullets I have ever seen.

I have used their buckshot before with no problems, but I had a real bad experience with S&B ammo a couple years ago. I bought some 7.62x54R from them, thru Cheaper than Dirt, mostly for the brass. They were 180 grain roundnose. The problem was at the range when I shot them. I have shot lots of ammo thru my mosin/nagant, but this was the hottest stuff I ever touched off in it. The bolt stuck and I like to never got it open. After I cleaned the chamber to make sure everything was ok I tried some more. Bad move, the ammo was sticking and the primers were cratered and some even pierced. Thanks to Russian engineering I didnt have an explosion. I took the ammo home and pulled the bullets, using a different powder and reloaded them. They worked fine. I have been wary of S&B since then.

Good luck and good shooting

In �06 in a Rem 7400 the 150 SPCE were the most accurate ammo I�ve ever shot. In .45 ACP and 9 mmP they are very acceptable. Their revolver chamberings are not so impressive.

The SPCE cuts a clean hole in paper. Should mean hair at the spot.

IMHO their quality went up the last years.
