    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!

    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.

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.

    Would love to see more factory tours. Would be really cool if you could take tours at some of the historic factories.

    Came here from a daily ammo deal page at Ammoland! Enjoyed this video and I plan on buying Sellier & Bellot in bulk from now on... S&B has some really clean-firing ammo!!

    Outstanding video as usual! S&B is a great company. The end section about the game preserve is most interesting.

    One of the few manufacturers that makes a decent affordable round for the Garand! Thanks SNB!

    Larry that was GREAT, younger I would shoot 1,000 rounds a weekend with my friends from our S.R.T./SWAT. I always shot S&B and never had a problem in any rifle or pistol I used in any weather condition .
    Thank you for a excellent review of this plant.
