S&B 38 spl LRN...

[DanP]

I'm a big S&B fan and have shot thousands of their rounds in various flavours... but the 38 spl LRN stuff I just got from Natchez is just vile!

All rounds go boom and have consistent accuracy, but dirtiest thing I've ever shot, any brand any caliber.

Found myself turning away to inhale every couple of shots, that bad. Indoor range, but as well ventilated as they come.

Forcing myself to blow my nose, I still had black stuff coming out 30 minutes later.

Oh well, as luck would have it I ordered a case. I'll live, but a note never to order them again.

P.s.: The S&B 38 SWC, however, are a completely different animal, those are just fine. I think this may be just their LRN stuff.

Another note about S&B .38special LRN ammunition is that it's the only ammunition that will bind up my Taurus M85 2" snubbie.

The bullets will extend from their cases during firing, preventing the cylinder from revolving. From all the LRN ammo I've put through my M85, S&B makes the only LRN to do this.

I had the same problem with it in my Taurus 85UL.
