Natchez still has PMC Bronze .380 for $10.99/50 and they've also got Sellier & Bellot .380 for $10.89/50.

I ordered the PMC last time and it worked just fine in my BT380, so this time around I'm trying the S&B.  Even with shipping cost this ammo is still cheaper per 100 than the 100ct WWB that my Wally World sells, and it's much better ammo.

I just went thru 100 rounds (.380) of PMC last night. I had no problems what so ever.

I don't know if it was me but, doesn't that powder smell funny?

I couldn't tell you as my smeller is all messed up from years of working with acetone, toluene, and other noxious solvents.  Heck, at this point I could probably drink acetone and be just fine

Well it looks like I won't be using Sellier and Bellot in my T380.  On average I would have one failure per magazine with it.  The failures were mostly FTF with the occasional FTE.  Soooo, I'll be sticking with the PMC while the price is good.

Agreed.  I tried S&B a few weeks ago, and I could have sworn I bought .45 caliber by mistake instead of .380.  That junk did not work at all.  I wish I could have warned you in time Bronson.

That's odd to hear, I have never had any issue at all with S & B, but it has been quite a while since I bought any. Have they changed ownership or management in the last couple of years?

That's ok DPX I only bought a few boxes to try it out.  I appreciate the sentiment though

I've been told that S&B is a little hotter than SAMI standards, but I've had zero problems.  Last picked up some at Cheaper than Dirt...

My T380CC loves S&B!  Never had an issue with it.  All my 9mm handguns love the 9mm S&B as well.  S&B is one of my favorite brands of ammo.

I figure that ammo, like gasoline, will keep going up in price. I can not stockpile gasoline, but I did order another 10 boxes (,380 & 9mm) from Natchez.
