This .308 rounds are made by Sellier and Bellot, a company founded in 1825 by a German businessman by the name of Louis Sellier. Sellier started out making ammunition for the infantry by request of Francis I, the Emperor of Austria, and when his countryman Jean Maria Nicolaus Bellot came along to help, the company began to branch out. Today the company’s plant is located in Vlasim, Czech Republic, and they’re known for producing quality ammunition at reasonable prices. Not only is Sellier and Bellot one of the oldest engineering companies in the Czech Republic, they’re also one of the oldest continuously running companies in the world.
