What do you think of Sellier & Bellot ammo

the X25 was super accurate.

Yep, the 7.62x25 is absolutely "match" grade in my CZ52...Unreal groups!...Makes you realize what crap the milsurp stuff is/was.

S&B has been flawless for me in 9x17, 9x18, 9x19 and 7.62x25
 
I've used it in many different calibers. Never a malfunction.
9MM FMJ is exceptional (IMO) because it runs a little hotter than other brands without the +P issues.

Buy with confidence.
 
Been using their 9mm in my CZ-75 for years. No misfires, no problems. You can occasionally find a brick of 1000 rounds for relatively cheap on line. The only time I've seen or heard of probs with 'em has been RL of the brass. Just my $0.02.
 
I only have experience with the 140gr. 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser soft points, they worked wonders on the whitetails last year, I only shot out to about 115 years but it performed well.

In Mauser the European stuff seems to be far hotter than commercial US Ammo stuff. It appears the American companies are afraid of lawsuits with them blowing up in old Mausers. But the S & B stuff takes the 8mm Mauser from 30-30 territory to 308 territory. Their pistol ammo seems fine to me, but in 9mm and .45 ACP I've settled on CCI Lawman or Blazer Brass and it runs great.
 
Absolutely fantastic. I find the 9mm to feel a bit 'hot', which is great!! FMJ I buy the 124 gr, I even like the 9mm jhp 115 gr, it's inexpensive and you can use it at the indoor range and my picky kahr will feed it reliably.
It's a great buy.

I think it shoots a little dirty. It also seems a tad on the hot end... not that that matters much. Always goes bang in my experience.
 
I shoot it and reload it a lot. Functions fine, but for reloading the primer pockets are a bit tight, but useable.

I prefer it over UMC or WWB.
 
Friend kB'd a Bersa with S&B ammo. From the description, it was a squib load followed by a live round.
 
Shoot a lot of the 9mm Nontox and Normal 124 gr.

No Problems after round about 5000 Rounds with my Glock 17 and 1911..

The 9mm Normal 124gr from the 250 Piece pack shows no diffeerence..

Shoot also 8x57IS S&B in my 98k Mauser and also good Results!

We used to use it as a standard test fire round in several calibers and eventually bought in pallets for re-sale to underwrite test fire ammo. With no issues at all over many-many thousands of rounds of a half dozen calibers, I'd always say it's been worth any contemporary cost we paid knowing that it is not necessarily the most accurate option when cost is not a factor.
