Sellier & Bellot is an ammo company based out of the Czech Republic. They make a wide variety of ammo products for civilians, law enforcement, and military forces, all over the world. S & B is owned by the CBC group who also owns the Brazilian ammo company Magtech.
Today we're looking at one of S & B's .357 Magnum loadings. We shot a couple of boxes of their 158 grain full metal jacket round. This is a load specifically designed for range practice. The bullet is a lead core with a copper jacket and has a flat tip, so it's suitable for use in revolvers, as well as lever action rifles with a tube style magazine. The case is reloadable brass with a non-corrosive primer.
Recoil is pretty moderate for .357 Magnum and was manageable in most of our test guns. It was soft enough that we felt OK trying it in our lightweight compact Ruger revolver, but even with this lighter load nobody really wanted to shoot more than about two rounds.
That said, this is still a pretty good choice for range use if you want to shoot Magnums. And ignition reliability and extraction was great in all of the guns that we used. With a lighter load and full metal jacket bullet this round isn't well suited for self-defense or hunting but it will cause plenty of destruction on the range if you want a powerful plinking round. Accuracy was also pretty good with a nice 10 shot group from the benches, 15 yards using our 4 inch barreled Smith & Wesson 686 and I think we would have had even better results if there had been a rifle handy.
Sellier & Bellot in .357 Magnum is a great low cost target round especially if you're looking for something in that caliber with a more moderate recoil.
