S&b 357sig
Has anyone had problems with Sellier&Bellot ammo in 357 sig?. I took my new 32 to the range and averaged 1 mis-fire per 10 rounds. Had good hit on the primer, but no go.;P

Figured I would bump this up with an update. Since i have been a big fan of S&B 9mm I thought I would try their 357 Sig. I have put 200 rounds of it through my G33 without a single glitch and it's pretty damn snappy. I'll keep shooting it and post up after another 500 rounds or so.

Any updates? I wish I could buy some locally and give it a try.
I do like the S&B 9mm, but can only find it at the Cabela's in Post Falls.

Oops. 500 rounds for $105+ tax. My mistake! (still a really good deal though!)

Finally ran a box thru my G31....no issues! Maybe we should change the thread to Prvi Partizan. I ran a box of that thru my M&P and had seven failures to fire. I loaded those seven into my G31 and most went off on second stike...but not all....
Old thread, I know...but I "(did) a search" and so here I am. My question is if anyone has any more recent experience with the Prvi Partizan? It seems to be available at a decent price (relatively speaking) everywhere with some bad reviews. Have they fixed the non-fire issue yet?
And while I'm at it, how about recent experience with the S&B, in case it becomes more widely available again?

I have never had a problem with the S&B....Prvi? I haven't shot it since. As range ammo... I would get it. Have you tried Wisconsin Cartridge for range ammo? I like it!

Never heard of it! Glad I asked a question on this thread, otherwise I might have never heard of it. Thanks for the heads up.
Btw, what is their story? I tried to find out more about their company and products from the site, but there was nothing I could find...

They have been around a while. They also sell a lot on Gunbroker. Here is one of their auctions if you want to check their feedback:

FWIW While I know that this is an older thread I thought it might be helpful to leave a little data here for others (sample size of "one," YMMV of course).
Zero issues with the following ammo through my 4th gen G33:
S&B 140gr FMJ (directly related to this thread topic)
American Eagle 125gr FMJ
Winchester (WWB) 125gr FMJ
Federal Premium 125gr HST
Sig Sauer V-Crown 125gr JHP
Problematic load:
Georgia Arms 125gr FMJ "factory reloaded" lot# 02261437 in a 500 rd ammo can
(good for practicing your "tap, rack, bang" drills - once or twice PER magazine IIRC)

I know this is old, but I heard nothing from S&B. I did however install an extra power striker spring in my G32, and solved the problem. Haven't bought S&B anything since.
