Sellier & Bellot Factory Tour 4k

[@thawndoo]

Holy shit, Larry is back at fighting weight. Looking good!

[@Fedaykin24]

Well that does make sense, Larry alongside Chuck Norris is part of Americas strategic deterrent!

[@3ric585]

He looks like he can rejoin the Unit & kick some ass!

[@praetorxian]

I thought the same thing, he's dropped a ton of weight and looking great. Well done Larry!

[@Tony01013]

People were calling him fat, he called them out on it. He said he was gonna do something about it and he did.

[@escapedfromnewyork]

@Tony01013.....I have a newfound respect for Mr. Vickers. He did what a man is supposed to do. Not only did he acknowledge there was a problem, he said he'd address it, then followed through. That's what this country needs.

[@VeraceSzK]

I absolutely adore Sellier & Bellot. They really do make fantastic ammo.

[@mrfourtysevenman]

fawk yeah they do. my mosin and ak love it.

[@2damaxmr2]

Nothing but quality when it comes to S&B. I have stuff from the 50's and still cycles perfectly.

[@capcamouflage]

Did he mention they make 3 million rounds a day of rifle and pistol?

[@SnarkyPosters]

I don't believe they did.

[@roggie77777]

@1:41

[@chancecarlton8403]

...I don't think so. How many a day?

[@SnarkyPosters]

@@roggie77777 Are you sure? ;)

[@etam083]

Yup, twice

[@johnkellmer5133]

Some of the cleanest and most consistent practice ammo in .45. acp and .38 sp and .380 I've used. Good quality ammunition.

[@itildude]

Love how they didn’t show anything being made.

[@cs512tr]

was prob part of the deal, considering its specific to their business

[@immelting9834]

Cci shows everything .

[@Spazik86]

Maybe you do not want to show all the details of the process, cuz competition...

[@samboheena]

why i disliked it. i was excited to watch it and felt let down. the federal plant video is much better

[@Jesusprayerwarriorbw]

Found one of theirs semi detailed explanation. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5_LmayLlLmCj6s

[@user-td1zo3tv9p]

I cannot speak for anyone other than myself but I've fired a fair number of calibers, both rifle and pistols, using S&B ammo and can state without hesitation that I would NEVER feel undergunned or lacking when using S&B ammo or products. It's just that good. Now this isn't to say that I prefer them over any other ammo manufacturer but bullet to bullet in any select caliber, S&B makes a large group of FINE products! LAV, thank you for giving us an inside look at their facilities.

[@Fishinmagician32]

Mr. Vickers, I wanted to mention an off topic. As you have served in a calling that takes physical abilities very soon, and weight being the result. So you are an endless encouragement, as even being broken and injured, you have figured out how to exercise and become peak shape looking. I saw your workout video, and the why I am fat clip. Yet nothing stands too high for you to achieve. Keep it up, and congratulations for the payoff of relentless persistence.

[@DaddyStarbuck]

My favorite brand of ammo Smoothest stuff I’ve ever used, and it’s like candy when you handle it. Very smooth and refined

[@pennydome5051]

I love this format Larry...more tour like that! 👍🏻

[@jmyersv1]

Yeah I like the videos to be more around 10 minutes rather than 3-4 minutes by the way.

[@aadriech]

Spider agreed!

[@ChazzyMcD]

Waste of a trip if you ask me, literally saw nothing happen.

[@ctfan1486]

Waste of time!

[@striknine570]

Mike seems like a really cool guy. Sheds a whole new light on S&B for me. Keep the prices and quality in check and they will come.

[@kingbaldwiniv5409]

I love it! I love S&B ammunition, Larry's accent comes from Pittsburgh area where I am from, and he's visiting Mike in the Czech Republic near where my family's from, outstanding!

[@slr7628]

Lmao they didn’t show anything.the “loading” segment didn’t show any loading just standing by some green machines and then it went to shipping..I’m not sure what the point of this was over than promo for s&b

[@dierdred_the_gray]

trade secrets, people who work in the industry have keen eyes and can gleam important information, so its best to keep such information out of the private domain.

[@jasonmeehan6080]

CCI did a much more involved video with 22 plinkster

[@trentmitche11]

@@dierdred_the_gray You can go to Sierra's facility for a tour and they will show you every step in detail, from raw material to shaping, loading, testing, inspecting, and packaging.

[@GrizzAxxemann]

I'm pretty sure LAV got to see that part. He just couldn't FILM it.

[@Stacy_Smith]

@@dierdred_the_gray So what was the point in making this video then?

[@CableGuy]

Thanks for doing this! I had no idea S&B was on this level of operation. Very cool!

[@uralbob1]

I could have watched this for about 8 hours! No kidding. What a fascinating plant! Thank you both.

[@IEraiderfan]

Great video Larry very nice ammo plant very modern.👍👍👍

[@fungifactory8925]

These guys make great quality ammo and are usually cheaper than a good chunk of the rest, gotta love em.

[@ArnoSchmidt70]

I always thought this is a french or belgian business. Interestingly it was founded by a german of french origins in the czech republic.

[@notubenick]

And owned by CBC(Brazil) since 2009.

[@ThomasTRG24]

...and it´s biggest and oldest ammo factory in the world.

[@deyangeo]

Why putting a comment, when you are clearly not familiar with the subject? Seriously, why?

[@m4rkm4n]

The name does indeed suggest it's French.

[@chuckaule6292]

I always pronounced it like [say-yare bell-o] lol. I was thinking thats a bit too fancy for an ammo company and turns out I was wrong its seller and belot

[@noexcuses6727]

Love S&B ammo. Been shooting the 9mm 115gr in IDPA for about 10 years now with never a failure and now added the 45acp to that mix. Also have had great luck with the 12 ga. shotgun shells. Just a great product at a reasonable price.

[@Mrgunsngear]

very cool

[@thedon7528]

What’s up MRGUNSNGEAR haha love ur channel

[@ShortArmStrongArm]

LOVE GUNSNGEAR

[@washburnsports7232]

I shoot tons of S&B here in Wisconsin and love the ammo very consistent with almost no failures. 9mm, 45 ACP and there 300 Blackout are excellent. S&B sub sonic 209 grain for the 300 black out is one of the best I have found when using it with my suppressor.

[@Odin029]

I bought a few boxes of 308 S&B at the range about a year ago and was really impressed.

[@LompicoEletronics]

Constantly bringing high quality videos to all of us Larry, Thank you for your commitment to the firearms community!

[@yellowmanusa]

Huge thank you! I've actually always wondered about these guys.

[@Shooter7point62]

Light on the details...

[@paulthecpa2717]

Proprietary methods probably prevent any close-ups or disclosures. I wondered the same thing... they spent 30 seconds in the production room!!!

[@elesjuan]

​@@paulthecpa2717 I'm not so sure about that. I've taken more than one tour of the Sierra bullet manufacturer plant and can tell you, even with "state of the art" machinery, there's PLENTY they could have shown in this video. Light on the details is an understatement. I was really excited when I clicked on this video, but by the time they made it into the packing facility I was super disappointed and just quit watching it.

[@deathcogunit106]

@@paulthecpa2717 Wouldn't surprise me, around my area factory tours usually require signing an NDA.

[@FirearmTutorials]

Yea I was expecting a look at their reload press and how they measure/drop powder. How many total steps to create a specific round, etc.

[@ChucksSEADnDEAD]

@@FirearmTutorials it's time consuming but if you search of youtube "ammo manufacturing", "ammo crank press", etc and watch all those videos with just 600 views, etc you'll get a good idea. The individual steps can also be seen on Google Patents. If you look for ammo manufacture you'll see patents for how casings are made. Hell, there's the Olin patent for Black Talons on Google Patents.

[@getoffmylawn8986]

I've been a hard core S&B fan since the early 90s; it's hard to beat. I reload most of what I shoot, but if I'm shooting something I don't reload for S&B is always my go-to ammo. Fantastic 12 gauge buckshot and slugs as well.

[@blackpepperprepper2025]

I love their ammo! I use their 10mm stock. Great stuff. Thanks for the tour.

[@iamsadlmao]

Big fan from Czech Republic here!

[@snowgorilla9789]

Yung Shai also a big fan from Canada and of CZ and the Czech Republic great gun makers craftsmen

[@chrisloUSA]

I love these guys because they make ammo for every caliber I shoot, it's high quality and the price can't be beat.

[@Jesusprayerwarriorbw]

@VickersTactical Larry, brother, looking great sir! Thank you for your service and the history lesson of this facility.

[@keenanwalker6597]

S&B is some of the best ammo I’ve ever seen or shot I use there .45 about 90% of the time and it is some of the cleanest ammo ever. I love it

[@waynehowell431]

S and B is all I use. I have shot well over 10,000 rounds of this stuff and never had a malfunction. It simply works. I enjoyed Larrys tour, and would like to visit Prague one day. Keep up the good work my friends, as I will continue to stack your products deep.

[@roykiefer7713]

I’ve been shooting S&B for decades; it’s really excellent, top-quality ammunition. Thanks for this video, which I greatly enjoyed.

[@brentchambers511]

When I’m too lazy to hand load S&B 10mm has become a staple for me . Great stuff. Nice to see a factory coexisting with natural spaces.

[@mctourer5549]

I love these factory tour videos! Nice to learn a little about the manufacturers of the products that we all use. I've never had any problems with their ammo and have shot quite a bit of it. Also don't mind supporting a company from the Czech republic. Good people!

[@RecceHokie81]

Thanks for showing, very interesting. They also make some very good ammo

[@ReloadingMoreAD1966]

Great and educational. Thanks for this

[@brentacusmaximus6677]

Great video I've been buying S&B 9mm and 5.56 whenever possible partly do to its being higher than average velocity and ft pounds of energy. Also out of all the 1,000+ rounds I've fired of their 9mm and 5.56 never once did i have a feeding, ejecting or misfire problem ! Awesome company !

[@doctorcropse2795]

This place is beautiful...i love their brand

[@eezicar]

I managed to visit the factory in November. What a setup

[@Rakadis]

Their 124 grain 9mm is really solid. I use it for competition and it is some of the most consistent ammunition I have ever shot.

[@seanmetzger4780]

Cool to see that side of s&b...Iv really been enjoying their budget 140gr 6.5 creed ammo. Fairly priced, and consistent for plinking.

[@apb2887]

S&B and Fiocchi are the two brands I look for first

[@GhG76562]

Here in Italy Fiocchi supports gun control.

[@apb2887]

@@GhG76562 Wow, not cool

[@Dake21]

Canada also makes Fiocchi ammo, so you might buy lots that were assembled there.

[@GhG76562]

@@Dake21 It doesn't really matter, it's a question of principles. When the EU was discussing the directive 477 (Eu gun ban) many gun rights group tried to contact Fiocchi, Beretta, Benelli, Pedersoli, Chiappa and all of them either sided with the directive or they didn't even bother replying to emails. After the gun ban passed people started to make groups like "I won't buy Italian guns and ammo ever again" so they got scared and released statements trying to calm people. It doesn't matter what Fiocchi USA or other Italian companies says, they will gladly do the opposite to gain market share. (Both in the US and especially here in the EU a complete "assault weapon" ban would make their market share grow exponentially.
