Sellier & Bellot 9mm 115gr FMJ

Sellier & Bellot has manufactured ammunition in Vlasim, Czech Republic since 1825, making it one of the oldest ammunition manufacturers in the world. Now owned by CBC (the same parent company as Magtech), S&B maintains independent production with Czech engineering standards that produce remarkably consistent ammunition at budget prices.

The 115-grain FMJ runs at a factory-listed 1,237 fps, the highest velocity among common 9mm training loads. Real-world chronograph data from multiple sources confirms S&B consistently runs 30-60 fps hotter than most competitors, producing more realistic recoil simulation for defensive training. The brass cases are prized by reloaders for uniform wall thickness, consistent weight, and excellent longevity across multiple reloading cycles.

S&B is a fixture in competitive shooting circles. USPSA and IDPA competitors frequently cite S&B as their preferred training round for its combination of accuracy, consistent velocity, and competitive pricing at $0.24-0.28 per round in bulk. The 50-round boxes stack neatly and are clearly labeled with lot numbers for tracking.
