I've always been fascinated with automated manufacturing of any product. Thanks for the tour. More, please.

[@barnmaddo]

In high school I thought all the smart engineers worked for NASA, now I'm thinking they design this stuff. Gotta be tough to be creative while also maximizing for efficiency.

[@yolo-qr2fq]

Bought some of their 9mm and the warning label is funny because it says "Keep out of reach of children and incompetent people" have never seen a warning label say to keep away from incompetent people.

[@yolo-qr2fq]

@@5000rgb lol. That was good.

[@georgepickett6853]

Need to put that warning label on government jobs as well. Like speaker of the House ECT

By far the best ammunition for me. Cheap, Efficient, Reliable. Support from Switzerland ✔

[@wheezzl]

Hey fellow Swiss, have to agree, I've easily fired over 20k 9mm from them and did not have a single ammo related issue.

[@tommasomorandini1982]

Is RUAG too pricy?

[@wheezzl]

@@tommasomorandini1982 Extremely, almost double the price of S&B here. Great stuff, but too expensive

[@tommasomorandini1982]

@@wheezzl RUAG has the advantage that they produce the "official" ammo for our assault rifles. The dimensions of the GP90 fpr example are very particular, not 5.56mm but 5.6mm

[@wheezzl]

​@@tommasomorandini1982 That's not actually true as far as I know, it's just called a 5.6, but it's the same as a 5.56, just a different load: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5.56%C3%9745mm_NATO#5.6mm_Gw_Pat_90

That's one firearm for every twelve people. Now the question is, how do we arm the other eleven?

That's a lotta freedom

[@VSO_Gun_Channel]

Larry, you have not been showing up in my feed for about 6 months. Looks like you have been getting back into form keep up the good work my friend.

[@SebastianHonsa]

I'm a simple czech guy. I see czech ammo, I press the like button.

[@john-paulsilke893]

Never had an ammo failure from S&B. Not the most accurate but super reliable which I like more then accuracy because honestly for precision you should be hand loading for your specific gun which for me isn’t a priority.

[@smythers1981]

czech out that awesome ammo ! :)

[@shubhojitghosh69]

🍻 to Larry Vickers for showing us around the factory

[@morophineswordphich8229]

Dammit, this video should have been 40 minutes not 4. P.S. Wow Larry, you're looking good.

[@Orudaiken]

Or at the least they should have had a second video that's 40 minutes long. That was very cool!

[@morophineswordphich8229]

@@Orudaiken Freakin totally!

[@CHEECHMUN]

This one is 8:55, a lot better. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fp_NaYCYmpeekMU

Looking good Larry. Love these kinds of video's, looking forward to more!

[@izzy1948]

Love the mullet at 3:23, dudes in Czechia know what's up

[@DerSchwereGolem]

S&B is the brand wich I trust the most. It`s cheap, precision is good , leaves not much dirt in the guns and the reliablity is amazing. I never had a single malefunction with this ammo (9x19, 308, 223, 357). Love you guys

[@Apolloneek]

What brand and model guns do you use over there ? Asking from west usa.

[@AR-GuidesAndMore]

[@sirtaylor2569]

Larry you look fantastic!

[@majr72]

Having bought some of this ammo I cannot complain from shotgun shells to handgun rounds very satisfied with it. Awesome video Larry thank you. Love all the gun reviews and testing but especially love these types of videos where the general public gets to see this type of stuff.

[@freedomisntfreeffs]

I love tour videos of firearms facilities. The insight of how things are made, and how different plants/factories does things slightly different is really cool. Hopefully by showing this it will entice more people to pursue work in the firearms industry which is quite shrouded compared to most other industries which require similar skills. And another bonus is the general openness it give the public and breaks this modern taboo around firearms that we've gotten more and more of. It's just skilled workers, machines and metals that makes a gun, not some evil voodoo that creates them from the shadows.

[@alexanderryzhov7046]

S & B is one of my favorite ammo brands. Their ammo looks clean and shoots clean.

[@454pakr]

Thanks for the tour!

[@slick4401]

Brilliant video. Thanks, Larry!

[@user-gx9hk8gt3k]

Thank you for this wonderful video, Larry! Keep it up!

[@wasntmeXYZ]

Larry, thanks for the video, just spent the day reloading and then saw this video, karma at work. You’re looking good these days, Time to ruck up and getter done again!!

[@TTiger86268]

awesome job

[@chrisp8422]

I have the same reloading equipment in my buggout bag

[@TechSgtBerry]

I have many antique and Curios & relic firearms, and am so pleased to have purchased, and shot, Sellier&Bellot ammunition. I consider it to be Match Grade. Especially appreciated! Thank you for this wonderful video! Some ammunition is quite rare and hard to find. Soft point for game hunting, in 7.62x54r, and 7.65x53mm Argentine Mauser, are a couple. Also, love their .303 British, which I fire in my Fazackerly Enfield No.4, Mk1/* of 5/43, in it's Walnut stock.

[@gatorre22]

I have been shooting S&B for a long time great quality ammo. As always a professional video congrats.

Yeah, most amazing part of that whole process was recognizing Mr. Vickers. Holy shit! You've lost some weight, buddy! You're really looking younger and more fit. I know you don't do it for us but congrats!

[@nathanzylla4961]

I like these vids....how ever...longer and more detailed...i like how things are made

[@curtiswaters7415]

Cool vid, Larry. I love S&B ammo, especially in my Mossberg 500.

[@fredboat]

Enjoyed the video and have been shooting S&B for years ,No problems.

[@user-td1zo3tv9p]

I have fired a LOT of S&B ammo of differing calibers and shotshells, too, and I have NEVER suffered a single difficulty of any sort. I just wish I had the cashola to be able to shoot nothing but factory fodder. But, besides the efforts required, MY reloads work with nary a problem either. You'd make an old guy VERY happy by sending me a rail car load of each caliber you manufacture. PLEASE?!? LOL Thank you, LV and S&B for the informative tour of the plant.

[@skunkworksrifle3443]

I've wondered about the jacketing process for quite some time 😎👍🇺🇸 very cool 👍

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Awesome ammo. The 9mm 124 grain works really well in my CZ SP01.

[@blackwater024]

Dang Mr.Vickers looking good brotha

[@uctt24]

I haven’t watched in awhile but damn man you look years better happy for ya

[@SoCalPatriot81]

very interesting!

[@gonzisonsbc]

Incredible.

[@jacobharrod6912]

Really cool process. I think we would all like to have a mini plant like that in our garage. They sure seem to care about the quality of their product.

[@huxhahn]

Agree with Geebs, your looking good Larry.

[@calska140]

*SUPER* interesting ive always wanted to know how they make these things en masse like they do.

[@BT1776]

Amazing to watch how ammo is made.

[@steveo9284]

Was always curious about exact production of ammo.

More BCM factory tour please! Or do a BCM torture test like you did with DD👍

[@estebanlopez6907]

Great!!! Question: What's up whit the red point in 9mm. JHP??? Thanks

[@Kalashnikov2034]

@Vickers Tactical for your next gun over view can you do a DP-28, DPM, and or ,RP46

[@dascabinetdesdoktorcaligar4714]

Impressive.

[@bootlegapples]

Fired some of their 5.56 in my new AR15 this weekend,they cycled nicely with no jams.

[@ryanmarshall8925]

They make a fantastic 7.62 x 25 round, one of the few reliable sources I can find

[@lukasnebesky1715]

Greetings from Czech Republic

[@rgthomson1]

I once was given a lot of Sellier Bellot primers to test here in the UK, i was skeptical as i had not heard of the brand many years ago, after testing i was delighted with them and said i would take an order for my F Class shooting, problem was they never got any more but to let you know their products seem to be top shelf

[@longlowdog]

I use S+B ammunition in my 7x64. It's giving 20mm groups off a bipod in my Sauer Mod 90. It does a great job on driven boar days. If anyone comes across a batch in their local supplier I recommend trying some. Nice video, regards from Scotland.

[@haydenc2742]

Birth of a freedom seed! Sweet!

[@Sk857.]

my fav ammo , very good accuracy with my Yugo M48 , with SPCE bullet.

[@jbdoingjbstuff]

3:20. That Czech mullet!

[@paramedicmatt]

Woa Larry you lost weight. Looking good man!

[@germaxicus6670]

I've never bought S&B. Not sure why. But this video makes me want some in a fierce way!

[@robertken3196]

I didn’t think that guy was you, lost hella weight man looking great! Keep it up

[@georgepickett6853]

Make more. Send asap.

[@psy06]

love S&B ammo. bit hard to get 9mm here in Australia at times. it sells out too fast

[@keyhole9601]

Thumb up the S&B!

[@DCFusor]

Always liked S&B's brass for .223. I'd even buy S&B milsurp, pull the bullets, do the usual benchrest additional steps, and in the end, best results of any brand. That's some tough stuff!

[@vincentflores1229]

Love S&B! Best mil-spec ammo! reliable and affordable!

[@aaronbuckmaster7063]

Factory production has really improved, but it can never beat a knowledgeable hand loader.

[@709466ok]

Best 9mm FMJ rounds.💖

[@Xander_Zimmermann]

Just curious, are you the same guys who produced the Vickers 6 ton tank in the 1920s and 30s?

[@mctourer5549]

I tell ya, seeing all that it takes to make these rounds start to finish makes the price for ammo justifiable. There's s a lot that goes into making good quality ammo. Also, looking good Larry! Good for you!

[@kylehills8234]

Holy shit Larry you're looking good, keep sticking it to them haters.

[@martinlag3234]

They make great ammo!😃👍

[@VooDooDaddy46]

Good to see Larry getting his weight under control. He easily added 10 years to his life.

[@ashleystyles6888]

Im so glad my Royal Air Force weapons trade training mentioned annulus anvil and obturation…..

[@friendofcoal]

Looking to get some...

[@Kev4571]

Id love to have just 1 day of production in my storage closet!

[@427SuperSnake1]

I love ammo.. I could watch and do this shit all day long!

[@CHEECHMUN]

Amazing!!! But at 3:56, how is the machine picking up the brass. Brass is not magnetic?

[@kevincallahan3059]

I used a 270win, 150gr round nose sp S&B for moose 26/09/2023, and yes the freezer is full. Very good ammo in all my rifles.

[@tommywilson9836]

2:23 Hey LAV or anyone else, does the "MANURHIN" logo on the bullet machine have any relation to the French arms maker???

[@rosemaryhofstedt6703]

Larry has lost a lot of weight. Way to go, Larry!

[@fjamato]

Pretty cool. S&B is good stuff.

[@18661873]

Sellier & Bellot is great ammo.

[@ddaverr]

Wish this was 10x longer.

[@michaelmichaelson8452]

I used S&B while hunting in Germany and the CZ Republic for 12 years exclusively for three reasons: 1st accuracy 2d Reliability 3d Germans over charged for GECO, RWS and Norma and if you wanted to buy American made ammunition for hunting over there it was also overpriced. I shot 7x57, 7x64, 30-06, 308 Winchester 8x57JS, 8x64 and 9.3X62 All great rounds and S&B loaded them all!

[@Berserkable]

Had a case rupture in my Rossi 357. Ejected half of the casing. Didn’t realize until we tried to load the next round and it wouldn’t load. Looked at the brass on the ground and found that half of a casing, looked in the chamber and could see the rest of it stuck in there. Never had an issue with any other 357 ammo. Sorry but I’ll never buy S&B ammo again. So far I won’t buy S&B or PMC. Had a 300Blk round in a box of 223 with the PMC. Haven’t had any issues with Federal, AE, Blazer, Winchester, Fiocchi or Armscor USA which are my main go to ammo manufacturers. By the way Larry your looking great! Keep up the good work!
