Well, holly molly, look at this.

I have been loading since I was 20 or so and now at 72 years of age......................

I finally need new brass and ammo boxes for the 9mm.
Both look like the dog has chewed on them and are garbage time.

Probably will go for the 115gr but it is all good if they come with brass cases. I have Cabela's, Bass Pro and Sportsmans whse. to choose from.

Best offer will have two cases going out the door.

Don't you just love it.

Bumping this thread, for a question/observation:

for the past year or so, Sellier & Bellot seems to be a leader for range ammo. Good reviews, and consistently low price.

Currently, I see Magtech is now popping up at this price range, sometimes cheaper than S&B. I also understand the 2 companies have the same parent company, and the packaging is the same dimensions. Other than case stamp, the rounds look the same.

Question- is this actually the same ammo, just stamped differently? Same exact load and process, but different location?

Both owned by CBC, which also owns German MEN ammo manufacturer.

Magtech was created by CBC as a commercial brand while S&B and MEN were bought. Most likely those companies that were bought are bought and left alone. They are added to the portfolio but otherwise operate as they did before
