Sellier & Bellot
Sellier & Bellot is a Czech Republic-based manufacturer of ammunition that has been in business since 1825, making it one of the oldest continually operating ammunition manufacturers in the world. The company began as a relatively small operation producing percussion caps, but has since grown into an internationally respected brand that produces a variety of ammunition for several different types of firearms.
The company’s history begins with two brothers, Josef and Franciszek Sellier, who established the company in Prague in 1825 and began manufacturing percussion caps for use in muskets and rifles. Over time, Sellier & Bellot expanded its product line to include rifle cartridges and smokeless powder. Through the years, the company continued to expand and modernize its production methods until it became one of the largest producers of sporting ammunition in Europe by the end of World War I.
Today, Sellier & Bellot’s products are sold all over the world, including North America where they enjoy a devoted following among hunters and competitive shooters alike. The company produces both centerfire cartridges for pistols and rifles as well as rimfire cartridges for rifles and handguns. The company also manufactures shotgun shells designed specifically for hunting applications such as upland game or waterfowl.
The majority of Sellier & Bellot’s pistol ammunition is offered in popular calibers such as 9mm Luger, .45 ACP and .38 Super, while their rifle offerings range from .223 Remington to .30-06 Springfield. They also produce specialty rounds designed for competition shooting events like IPSC (International Practical Shooting Confederation) matches or police qualification courses. In addition to their traditional products, Sellior & Bellot also offers training rounds which are ideal for any shooter looking to reduce their overall cost without sacrificing quality or performance. Sellior & Bellot’s commitment to offering high-quality products at reasonable prices has earned them legions of loyal shooters around the world who swear by their performance and reliability on the range or out hunting in the field.
