Cabella's has Sellier & Bellot Primers on sale for $19.95 plus shipping and hazmat charge. I called the Cabella's in NW Atlanta and they have none in stock and it is also over an hour away.

I have never used anything but CCI and Winchester so I no experience with Sellier & Bellot. I have used their ammo and on all except particular type I have been well pleased.

What is your experience with Sellier & Bellot Primers?
 
I was using CCI exclusively but they were about $35 per brick at the local shows in SE Michigan. Last time Cabelas had S&B on sale I bought 16,000. I like the way they seat using my Dillon RL 550b. They are a little softer than the CCI's but work great for me in .38 and 9mm. There are many threads on them.
 
I had the chance to try a brick of SPP recently after using CCI exclusively.

So far they all go bang, no duds like the Wolf I tried. However they do seat differently. CCI tends to seat flush and has more of a smooth seat feel, while the S&B have seated below flush in my 9mm, some well below flush. They also have more of a two stage stepped feel when seating some brass, especially S&B brass.

My CZ pistols seem to like them. Same country and all I suppose.:p

I will be buying them again.
 
Just got 10000 from Cabela's. 5000 for a buddy. Might be a week or two before I can get to shoot any. I already have 2700 cases primed, 400 rounds of 9mm loaded and another 700 Winchester SPP sitting on the bench. Think Ill run out of bullets before I load the S&B SPP.

I bought them because of what i've heard as well. See how it goes. Also I had them shipped. Cost me $219.78 with tax, hazmat, and a shipping discount. Comes out just under $24 per 1000 shipped. not bad. See how it goes.
 
I've put 5,000 through my AR's without a single issue.
I typically use CCI but at a 30% savings with 100% reliability I'll buy them again.
 
I've run over 10K thru my Glocks with OEM springs. Guys report problems with lighter striker springs though.
