S & B 9mm ammo

[351 WINCHESTER]

Does anyone know if the new S & B ammo has sealant on the primer. I just bought some and I can't tell. The old S & B was smeared on that you could easily see it.

No it doesn't. They stopped applying sealer years ago and changed the packaging as well...at least for the US market.

That's a real shame. Thanks for letting me know.

You can seal it yourself with some nail polish that you can steal from your wife.
Thin it a bit, and delicately apply a tiny amount around the primer,
Voila,

For the most part...sealers do nothing.
I've done my own testing but here's an article that went much further than I did.

I still like my primers and bullets sealed.
