Sellier & Bellot Ammo

Put another 200rods through Prodigy today since getting it back from Springfield. No ftf but did have 2 light primer strikes. All 200rds was S&B 124 FMJ. Wondering if this could be an ammo issue. I saw some old posts about people having similar issues with S&B but the latest (that I saw) was from 2019.

Was it NATO spec 124gr? Tends to have a little harder primers for use in subguns.

I regularly shoot 10mm S&B just for target practice all the time, in my SA XDm Elite 10mm 3.8" compact.

After shooting many hundreds of S&B rounds: I've never had a misfire, jam or stovepipe.
I do buy in bulk to keep cost down a bit.

I really never have shot S/B so I can’t say Blazer is my go to range ammo

Same here. It goes boom every time. My location charges $26 for 50 fmj and $30 for hp. I've shot thousands of rounds.

Yea, I use it in my S&W 610 with no issues, haven’t shot my XDm Elite compact yet in 10mm

I shoot an almost exclusively S&B and Blazer Brass these days. Never had an issue with either of them.

Then, over the course of many years I have never had any issues with the WWB so many people started complaining about a year or two ago.

I agree never had a single issue with SB or Wwb either one. Shot 45 acp, 380, .38 and .357 in them both with no issues.

Shot S&B a few times with no issues.

I had 1 bulk WWB box (all loose in the box) a few years ago that all kinds of failures. When I sat down and started sorting through the box I found many many dinged and dented cases. I pulled them out and shot those off 1 at a time. The rest still had a few failures but not near as many.

I've since shied away from buying loose bulk ammo (especially in WWB) but occasionally have bought it in some other brands without the same issues.
