The Sellier & Bellot .30-06 Springfield 165 gr eXergy EDGE (TXRG) ammunition delivers lead-free terminal performance engineered for medium to large game hunting. Built with a monolithic tombac projectile, this factory cartridge combines a grooved-shank profile with an integrated cutting edge (Scharfrand) and a red polymer expansion tip. The design produces a clean, circular entry hole in game hide to facilitate reliable blood trails while retaining near-100% bullet mass for deep, bone-breaking penetration without fragmenting. Test-fired from a standard 600 mm barrel, this ammunition generates a muzzle velocity of 849 m/s and a muzzle energy of 3,856 J, delivering consistent downrange stopping power out to an optimal zero distance of 171 metres.

Key Features

• Monolithic Tombac Construction: Solid lead-free alloy body with relief grooves eliminates bullet core separation, preserving projectile mass for deep penetration through tough muscle and bone.
• Cutting Edge (Scharfrand) Shoulder: Built-in forward cutting ring cleanly punches hide and sheds entry hair to maintain open, non-clotting wound channels for trackable blood trails.
• Polymer Ballistic Tip: Red polymer insert shields the expansion cavity in the magazine, lowers aerodynamic drag, and drives consistent hydraulic expansion across standard hunting distances.
• Downrange Kinetic Energy: Sustains 2,498 J of energy at 200 m, 1,979 J at 300 m, and 1,546 J at 400 m to meet harvest energy thresholds across extended field ranges.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot 30-06 Springfield 165 Grain Txrg (Exergy) Cutting Edge Lead Free Ammo 20 Pack for?

• Hunters targeting red, fallow, and sambar deer — delivers 3,856 J of muzzle energy and 1,979 J out to 300 m from a 165-grain monolithic bullet, driving high retained mass and deep vitals penetration on heavy-bodied deer species with this .30-06 Springfield hunting ammunition.
• Landowners and cullers requiring non-toxic wild game harvesting — provides a completely non-lead tombac construction yielding an 849 m/s muzzle velocity, allowing clean game harvesting and meat recovery without risk of toxic lead fragmentation in organic or eco-sensitive management areas.

Less suitable for: Shooters operating firearms chambered in other .30-calibre cartridges such as .308 Winchester or .300 Winchester Magnum; rifles with these alternative chamber dimensions require dedicated cartridges specifically engineered to fit their distinct case lengths and headspaces.
