About Sellier & Bellot
Sellier & Bellot (S&B) is a Czech ammunition manufacturer founded in 1825 — one of the oldest continuously operating ammunition companies in the world. Now a subsidiary of Colt CZ Group (formerly Czech Small Arms), S&B manufactures at its factory in Vlašim, Czech Republic. S&B is known for high-quality, competitively priced brass-cased ammunition that often undercuts domestic manufacturers by $0.02–0.05/rd. Their 9mm FMJ is particularly popular as a range load in the US market.

S&B's value proposition is simple: European manufacturing quality at budget pricing. Their 9mm FMJ typically runs $0.01–0.03/rd cheaper than Federal AE or Winchester White Box. The .308 Win 147gr FMJ is one of the cheapest brass-cased .308 range loads available. S&B brass is well-regarded by reloaders for its consistent quality.
