Default lellier & bellot

Has anyone ever used lellier and bellot ammo before? I saw it in cabelas and wondered about the quality compared to others.

Have used thier 7.62x39 and 9mm ain't bad at all for the money. The thier7.62x39 was the most accurate I've shot.

I have some sellier + bellot shotshells, I've fired off about 200, 1 of them had no powder, only the primer to push the lead out. It's pretty good for the price I guess.

first off, it's Sellier and Bellot.... that script S just looks like an L...... I've shot quite a bit of their ammo... 9mm, 7.62x54, 45acp, 223, and 12 ga 00Buck..the clear ones, both 3in and 2 3/4in.... I've never had any problems with any of it.. My 9mm REALLY liked their stuff, as does my 45 auto..... the 7.62x54 I bought mostly for the reloadable brass.... it's 180 gr stuff at about 2600 fps, and it thumps pretty hard. It's really hard to beat their ammo, especially for the price. Give it a try.....

...oh, and price it at Natchez (www.natchezss.com) and at Cheaper Than Dirt (www.cheaperthandirt.com)...they seem to have the best prices most of the time....

my old department used to buy the 9mm stuff by them for us to practice with and i have no complaints... proably shot at least 5,000 rounds of it with a s&w 9mm with no bad rounds. i've also shot the 00buck with no complaints.

Safe & Happy Hunting

I used some of their shotgun ammo a while back. I had my NEF 12 ga. Pardner shotgun which normally throws the empty casing out forcefully when using any other shotgun ammo. Well the S&B ammo wouldn't budge. I had to pop each one out using my cleaning rod. I tried several just to see if it was a design flaw with one or two of the casings but it happened every single time. I'll never use it again. I seem to remember having gotten it through Cheaper than dirt.

Forget Cabellas. S and B out of Natchezz is the stuff. All military and law inforcement ammmo but great to pass the long summer days with. It Is Not For Hunting. All FMJ. Great penetration with no expansion. I keep cases of all calibers on hand for general shooting.
