Default Sellier & Bellot jacket seperation

The wife and I went to the range today to Shoot my new Glock 23 and we also brought along my model 60 and her Charter Arms Pink Lady. My wife loaded up her Pink Lady with 5 rounds of the S & B 158gr fmj's and after the second shot the gun locked up. After fighting with it for a while I got the cylinder open and found part of a jacket stuck in the cylinder and it was jammed against the inside of the barrel. Took me a few to get it out of the cylinder but the only thought in my mind was that this could of been a lot worse or ended a lot worse.

I fired about 15 rounds of the S&B in my model 60 and didn't have any problems but decided to start shooting the win. white box that we brought with us.

This was a first for me. Has anyone else had anything like this happen?

Also, in case anyone is wondering the G23 is one fine weapon.

Last year I took a box of 9 mm S&B with me to my range, which does not allow steel ammo. To my surprise, it was magnetic. Not the cases, the bullets.

The range Master said there have been reports of a lot of "debris" in S&B ammo lately.
