I saw this brand at the last gun show. Has anyone used the shotgun loads?

    I've used the 00 loads in a Mossberg 590, no problems and tight pattern.

    I've used most all of the calibers except the shotgun shells and have had no problems at all.

    I think they're boxer primed (which I learned about on a previous thread) and they're supposedly designed to withstand long storage periods without corroding because of primer and bullet sealer and oil impregnated boxes.

    I've used hundreds and hundreds of rounds of Sellier and Bellot ammo in my .45, 9mms and .357 magnum without one problem.

    Does that mean they're not reloadable?

    S&B brass is advertised as reloadable SIMONBS. I think you would have no problem. It appears to me to be good quality brass, at least as far as the price goes. I would not have any problem trying it for pistols and battle rifles. But I think we see things in a similar light.

    simonbs, according to the people here in the know, the boxer primed cartridges are 100% reloadable. The berdan primed are the ones that can cause problems...

    I'm glad to hear good things about this ammo as I've been thinking of stocking up on some .40 and .45, as opposed to going with the Wolf.

    My son and I have shot up 2 cases of 20 gauge, 2 3/4, 8 shot so far this summer over the pigeon thrower. Great ammo. No problems at all. Costs $4.40 per box here plus tax. Never tried any of their other ammo. Sounds like I am going to have to!

    I've been using a lot of it for trap shooting lately and it is as good as anything else, and cheaper than most.

    Cabelas in Mitchell has it for $3.50 a box. They have different loads I get the 12 ga sporting clays loads. They are a fairly heavy load and pattern pretty good. Quite a few people around me shoot them.
