Awesome, do you know the velocities by any chance on the S&B 180 FMJ? No info on the box!

1165fps, take off 10% for box exaggeration = 1050fps... pretty slow, light load. Good for the range.

While I do not have ballistics, S&B is considered by many to be lightly-loaded range ammo...as is Magtech...the two 10mm brands I buy more than anything else due to price and availability.

Roger, great and thanks!

Roger that, I'm using it for "break in" ammo so it should be just fine I'm thinking.

1st information wasn’t found on the box.
2nd whether range ammunition or not you put enough holes in someone it will stop them.

Most definitely agreed!

Just to let you know Keystone I picked up an AR10 platform yesterday because I've always wanted a .308 in an AR type rifle but I'm still and will always be a M1A man to the core! Like you said earlier when I joined the forum, and I strongly agree! The M1A is an Iconic battle rifle! Now if I can only get a Garand, 1903, and BAR! Then my favorite historic military rifle collection will be complete! I have a feeling the BAR is going to be the hard one to find!

When you say S&B. Is that Sellier&Bellot? Because that's what I bought 250 rounds of yesterday. 180 FMJ and I bought a 50 rnd box of Sellier&Bellot 180 JHP a couple weeks ago for SD loads.

Yes sir, that’s it

That’s exactly right on keystone

 

[Bassbob]

S&B is perfectly fine range ammo.

 

[Kodiak Cowboy]

Put 100 rnds of S&B 180gr FMJ through my Kimber today! No malfunctions what so ever! That makes me happy. I'm definitely done with Buffalo Bore and Grizzly Ammo. I've had more problems with their product than any other pistol ammunition I've fired in the pistol. Although I'm not 100% confident that it is completely "broke in" I'm getting closer and closer to feeling that way. I'm gonna put 100 more through it tomorrow so stand by. I'll keep you posted!

I’m guessing they are now dating.

I think their past that! More like Mating!

Glad to hear the gun is working out this far.

 

[Annihilator]

Cool, glad it’s working better now, never used any Buffalo Bore or that Grizzly ammo, I like the S&B, but in a revolver you wouldn’t see much issues.

My opinion on Buffalo Bore is strictly my own. That being said. I know a few other shooters that feel the same way I do. One of the LGS stopped stocking it because of the complaints he was getting.
