Can I use these .311 123 grain bullets in my standard .308 Winchester hunting rifle?

No, these bullets are strictly sized for .310 to .311 inch bore dimensions and must not be loaded into standard American .308 bore rifles like the .308 Win or .30-06. Forcing a .311 projectile down a tighter .308 bore creates dangerous over-pressure hazards from bullet swaging.

What is the effective hunting range for these S&B Soft Point bullets?

These bullets are best suited for short-to-medium ranges between 0 and 200 metres, which matches the typical envelope of the 7.62x39mm cartridge. Due to the relatively low G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.238, velocity and energy drop off significantly beyond 200 to 250 metres.

Do these bullets feature a cannelure for secure crimping in semi-automatic rifles?

Yes, each projectile incorporates an indented cannelure groove designed to allow a firm roll or factory-style crimp. This prevents bullet setback under heavy magazine recoil, making them secure for both bolt-action and semi-automatic platforms.

Are there any specific Australian licensing requirements to purchase these reloading projectiles?

As non-explosive components containing no gunpowder or primer, electrical standards like 240V mains power, SAA approvals, and RCM compliance do not apply. However, depending on your state or territory firearms legislation, you may be required to present a valid Australian firearms licence matching the relevant calibre class at purchase.

7.62mm Reloading Bullets - S&B V339272

The Sellier & Bellot .311 7.62 Cal 123 Grain SP Bullets (100 Pack) are unprimed, non-loaded component projectiles manufactured in the Czech Republic for precision handloading. Featuring a traditional lead core with a CuZn 10 gilding metal jacket and an exposed lead soft point, this projectile is engineered for reliable, controlled mushrooming upon terminal impact. With a standard 123 grain (8.0 g) weight profile and an integrated cannelure ring, it directly matches standard factory load data for 7.62×39mm cartridges while supporting roll or factory crimping to resist bullet setback under magazine recoil.

Key Features

Controlled Terminal Expansion: Semi-jacketed soft point (SP) construction combines a CuZn 10 gilding metal jacket with an exposed lead tip, expanding from 0.311 in to between 0.475 in and 0.608 in with approximately 14 inches (35.5 cm) of penetration in 10% ballistic gelatin at an impact velocity of 2,438 fps (743 m/s).
Integrated Cannelure Ring: Features a factory cannelure groove that facilitates a secure roll crimp, preventing bullet setback during feeding and recoil cycles in bolt-action and semi-automatic platforms.
Standard Factory Weight Profile: The 123 grain weight allows handloaders to utilise published 7.62×39mm load data without requiring compensation for non-standard internal case capacities.
Multi-Chamber Flexibility: Sized specifically for .311-groove barrels, enabling handloading across 7.62×39mm as well as .303 British, 7.62×54mmR, and 7.7×58mm Arisaka rifles when utilizing light-bullet load data.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot .311 7.62 Cal 123 Grain Sp Bullets 100 Pk for?

7.62x39mm cartridge handloaders — requires the exact factory-standard 123 grain weight profile and true .311 in diameter to match standard published powder recipes without case-capacity compensations when assembling ammunition with this reloading component soft point bullet.
Medium-game hunters targeting feral pigs and goats — relies on the controlled terminal expansion of this soft point bullet, which broadens from .311 in up to 0.608 in to deliver reliable stopping power within typical short-to-medium field distances.
Milsurp rifle handloaders using .311 bore platforms — benefits from a .311 in projectile diameter packaged in a 100 pack quantity, providing a correct bore fit for light-projectile load workups in .303 British, 7.62×54mmR, and 7.7×58mm Arisaka barrels.

Less suitable for: Standard American .308 bore rifles (.308 Win, .30-06) where .311 in bullets create dangerous over-pressure hazards from swaging (use a dedicated .308 in projectile instead); oversized military surplus barrels slugging over .313 in (use a larger .312 to .314 in cast or custom-sized bullet); or long-range shooting beyond 200 to 250 metres where the 0.238 G1 ballistic coefficient drops velocity and energy significantly (use a higher-BC boat-tail or match-grade projectile).
