Light strike issue

[BC Mike]

I bought a bunch of 115 gr. Sellier & Bellot 9mm and used it for the first time this week in my 1911 Springfield. The gun has worked flawlessly with several other brands of 9mm in 115 gr. and 147 gr. Out of 150 rounds I had half a dozen light strikes where the primer dimpled just enough to notice. Anyone else have an issue with this ammo? The red on the primer is an anti corrosive dab of something or other.

The red stuff is primer pocket sealant. Have you shot it out of any other 9mm's?

No I'm just down to the Springfield until my S&W Pro Series 9mm arrives from Frontier and that could still be months.

Went through about 150 rounds of this stuff in a Beretta Ninety Two, never had a problem.

Not necessarily light strikes. I've heard S&B uses some fairly hard primers.
