The Sellier & Bellot TXRG (eXergy Blue) .308 Calibre 165 Grain Lead-Free Bullet is an inert reloading component engineered for handloading standard .30-calibre rifle cartridges, including .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, and .300 Winchester Magnum. Built from solid monolithic copper, this projectile features an integrated blue polymer tip and grooved driving bands along the shank. Upon impact, the polymer tip drives controlled petal expansion while the monolithic copper construction retains near 100% of its initial weight without jacket separation or lead fragmentation. Packaged in boxes of 30 projectiles, it delivers non-toxic terminal ballistics suited for Australian medium and large game hunting.

Key Features

• Monolithic Copper Construction: Made from 100% lead-free solid copper to eliminate fragmentation and toxic residue in game meat while maintaining near-total weight retention.
• Polymer Tip Initiation: Features a streamlined blue polymer tip combined with a boat-tail profile that aids ballistic efficiency and initiates rapid petal expansion on impact.
• Grooved Driving Bands: Relief grooves cut into the bullet shank reduce surface friction within the bore, mitigating copper fouling and managing chamber pressure.
• Aerodynamic Flight Profile: Delivers a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.398 and a G7 ballistic coefficient of 0.200 for stable trajectories when paired with standard 1:10" to 1:12" barrel twist rates.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot .308 30 Caliber 165 Grain Txrg (Exergy) Blue Lead Free Bullet 30 Pack for?

• Reloaders and handloaders — seeking lead-free component rifle bullets with a 0.308 in diameter, a 0.398 G1 BC, and a 0.200 G7 BC supplied in a 30-pack for precise cartridge tailoring.
• Medium-to-large game hunters — requiring a 165-grain solid copper projectile that eliminates lead fragmentation while maintaining high weight retention across medium-to-large game such as deer, feral pigs, and feral goats.

Less suitable for: Long-range shooting applications where terminal impact velocities fall below ~1,800–1,900 fps (typically past 350–400 metres), where higher-BC lead-core or dedicated match-style expanding projectiles provide more reliable terminal performance.
