Have used S&B many times....
No problems with it, EXCEPT---the red "sealer" they put on the primer tends to get all over the firing pin area in the chamber.
Cleans off all right, just kinda' messy.:barf:
I wouldn't want to let my pistols set around with that stuff in there very long after firing though, always clean them same day I shoot them.

I've used the .38 wadcutters. A little dirty, but they all worked.
I dont know of anyone who has shot these S&B, but I will get a couple boxes and try them.
Thanks

S&B is good, hot, trustworthy ammo
I've been shooting S&B ammo for a while now. I haven't had any problems from the primer sealer that was mentioned earlier. I shoot S&B 9mm & .38 Special.
Neve had a miss. It is definetly hotter than the Winchester equivalent. It has a noticably stronger kick even in the smaller 9mm. I would say it feels closer to what we call a +p+ load. It is also clean burning powder.
We can't get much .38 Special ammo up here, so I traded 1 to 1, 150 rounds of Pro Load brand .357, for 150 rounds of S&B .38 Special. I feel it was a fiar trade considering the availability of some ammo calibers here.

Good stuff
S&B is some good stuff.
I was cleaning out my garage a while back and ran into some cost comparision from 2003-4. S&B 45ACP was $165 for a case (that's $8.25 a box). I was buying them cases at a time.
Wish I had saved some. Well, truth be told I would of shot it by now anyways.

I like it and prefer it. Perhaps because I started with a CZ and wanted to use CZ ammo. Well, it works great in pistols made in IT, DL, OS, US...

I've used some before without issue.
As mentioned, I've read it's a little hotter than some of the other brands on the market.
