I've never had any dealings with "ammunitiontogo.com", but I have a case of the S&B "Range Safe" ammo sitting on my kitchen table at this moment.

This S&B ammo uses a copper washed boxer primed (or so it says on the end-flap of the ammo box) steel case (the copper wash looks more like a brass wash and is a light gold in color, the same color as the bullet jacket), and the bullet uses a standard gilding metal (non-magnetic) jacket.

I haven't had a chance to shoot any of the ammo yet, but I'll be heading to the range on Thurs. or Fri. to burn up 200 rounds through my G-19 and see how it fares.

FYI, I got my ammo from J&G Sales for $129.80 a case.

I don't shoot any steal case ammo through my pistols. I lost an extractor on my Sig P239 about 4 years ago with that Wolf ammo. My local gunsmith told me that the steal case is too hard and can damage the extractor. Only brass for me...

I had no idea S&B made steel cased ammo. I wouldn't use it in any of my pistols. Too hard on the extractor. This S&B ammo from J&G sells for the same price and uses a brass case.

havent gotten around to shooting the ammo, but the ammunitiontogo guys are good. I use these guys all the time, they are my source of ammo. I'm only a few miles from them. good people with good quality ammo..

J&G brass is a little higher per case but who knows when they will get some in.

[GlockX35]

The link I gave is the same price as steel cased and it is in stock.

I follow the link and it takes me to 45 ammo $129.50 per 500. When I look at the 9mm brass I get this.

9mm S&B FMJ, 1000 rd cases. (Backordered) $165.00
5-35b 9mm S&B FMJ, 50 rd boxes. (Backordered) $8.25 - $8.95

230gr FMJ, made in Czech Republic, brass case, boxer primer, non-corrosive. Shows as in stock.

I just got back from the range. I put 200 rounds of this ammo thru my G-26 with zero problems. Previously I had put 500 rounds of WOLF Polyformance thru my G-19 and I experienced at least one failure to fire on the first primer strike per box of 50. S&B's steel cased 9mm is far and above a better quality range fodder than WOLF. I'll keep updating this thread as I continue to shoot the S&B "Range Safe" ammo in the future.
