If there is a better deal--other than reloads--please let me know.>>
How about 1000 rounds of .45 S&B for $179.97? (shippping not included) but worth a look no matter where you are. From Centerfire Systems 1-800-950-1231. Order a flyer. Many good specials on different types of ammo and other goodies.

Is S&B "hot" like Fiochi ? What kind of primers do they use, and is this ammunition potentially destructive ?
My new brand is Speer Lawman. Extremely clean and accurate.

Lately, I've been using PNP .45 ball in my assorted .45 autos. It shoots very well and has reloadable cases. Both my Baer and P9S seem very fond of the stuff. Haven't tried it in the G21 yet. If I recall correctly, the local gun show had it for about $170/M.

I also bought 1000 rounds S&B for about 175$.
I use it with my Glock 21.
It´s nice ammo, very accurate and I had only one problem on 400 rounds (case wasn´t ejectet).
But it´s real dirty stuff. Extremely dirty !
After 50 rounds, my gun looks like having shot 1000 other rounds.
And the barrel is hard to clean, this stuff won´t get out without strong solvents.
That sucks because it shots so nice and accurate.
Another "problem" of the S&B is the red "paint" on the primers.which has also to be removed from the firing pin area.
And I had some lead on the slide, near the firing pin which seems to have been melted off the bottom of the bullet. Are they using such a hot powder ?
I never had lead on my guns when using FMJ´s.
My next ammo will be the Fiocchi, which is only few more expensive.
And the Fiocchi feels a little bit more powerfull.
I´ve shot about 5000 Fiocchis with my P-226 (9mm) and had no single problem with that stuff.
Good ammo !
PMC is real good stuff too, but not as cheap as Fiocchi is.
But if you find it for a good price ... take it ! You won´t be disappointed.
You can also use the PMP from South Africa. It´s good stuff for little money.
But you should be carefull with the Aguilla .45 !!!
I´ve seen a 5000$ Custom-1911 blown by this real hard stuff.
