The Sellier & Bellot .264 6.5mm 156 Grain SP Bullet (product code V338442 / factory designator 2926) is an unprimed, inert reloading component engineered for handloaders targeting medium to large game. Featuring an exposed soft lead point paired with a heavy-for-calibre 156-grain lead alloy core and semi-jacket construction, this projectile is designed to deliver controlled mushrooming upon impact, creating wide wound channels while maintaining structural integrity for deep tissue penetration.

Key Features

• Heavy-for-Calibre Mass: Weighs 156 grains (approx. 10.1 grams) with a high sectional density of 0.320 lb/in², providing maximum penetration on dense game.
• Controlled Terminal Expansion: Semi-jacketed soft point (SP) design facilitates reliable, uniform expansion while reducing the risk of premature fragmentation on impact.
• Aerodynamic Profile: Features a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.456 and a G7 ballistic coefficient of 0.230, providing predictable trajectories across standard hunting distances.
• Broad Chambering Compatibility: Designed for handloading across .264-calibre cartridges, including 6.5x55mm Swedish Mauser, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5x57mm, and .260 Remington.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot .264 6.5mm 156 Grain SP Bullet 50 Pack for?

• Medium to large game handloaders — requires heavy-for-calibre terminal performance, which this 6.5mm reloading projectile delivers via its 156-grain mass and high 0.320 lb/in² sectional density to achieve deep tissue penetration on large animals such as sambar deer and feral pigs.
• 6.5x55mm Swedish Mauser and 6.5 Creedmoor hunters — engages game at moderate ranges where the 50-pack projectile's G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.456 provides predictable trajectory and reliable soft-point expansion inside 300 metres.

Less suitable for: Long-range precision shooting past 300 to 400 metres or rifles with slow rifling twist rates (such as 1:9 in or 1:10 in); handloaders operating at extended ranges require high-BC, low-drag boat-tail projectiles (such as polymer-tipped or hollow-point boat-tail match designs in 140–143 grains) that stabilize effectively in barrels slower than 1:8 in.
