Many ammunition manufacturers are currently accommodating the trend toward rimfire cartridges, but few as consistently as Sellier & Bellot. In order to produce rimfire ammunition with higher dimensional accuracy and precision, the manufacturer from Vlasim in the Czech Republic has decided to use a completely new production technology and expand its rimfire range. For this reason, Sellier & Bellot has built a new production facility just for rimfire cartridges and equipped it with the latest available technology.
These technologies allow very tight production tolerances for bullet weight, primer ignition material and propellant charge. As a result, Sellier & Bellot is now able to manufacture ammo with much higher precision and consistency than was possible with the technology previously used. Naturally, these steps also led to an increase in production capacity – perfect for meeting the growing global demand…
In Sellier & Bellot’s new rimfire line, lead has been chosen as the bullet material throughout, and certainly for good reason. Accuracy and ballistic properties. For some versions, S&B has opted for a copper alloy plating for the lead bullets – so every shooter can choose his/her cartridge.
