The Sellier & Bellot .204 Ruger PTS 32gr Rifle Ammunition is a high-velocity centrefire cartridge engineered for long-range varmint control and small pest eradication. Loaded with a 32-grain polymer-tipped Hornady PTS projectile, this factory ammunition achieves a muzzle velocity of 4,127 fps and 1,210 ft-lbs of muzzle energy from a 23.5-inch test barrel. The aerodynamic polymer tip and streamlined spitzer profile maintain an ultra-flat trajectory with rapid, explosive terminal expansion on impact, yielding a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.219 and minimal drop over extended shooting distances.

Key Features

• Hornady PTS Projectile: Combines a streamlined polymer tip and spitzer profile to enhance in-flight aerodynamic stability and initiate violent expansion on small game.
• Ultra-High Velocity: Generates 4,127 fps at the muzzle and retains 3,064 fps at 200 yards for flat trajectories and reduced wind drift.
• Reloadable Brass Cases: Manufactured with premium Boxer-primed, non-corrosive brass cases standard across .204 Ruger chamberings.
• Optimised Flight Dynamics: Delivers minimal bullet drop of –0.7 inches at 200 yards and –5.2 inches at 300 yards when zeroed at 100 yards.

Who is the Sellier & Bellot 204 Ruger 32gr PTS Ammunition for?

• Varmint hunters targeting foxes, hares, and feral cats — benefits from 204 Ruger rifle ammunition delivering a muzzle velocity of 4,127 fps and a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.219 to minimise elevation adjustments across open paddocks.
• Pest controllers managing wild dogs out to 350 yards — provides 1,210 ft-lbs of muzzle energy with 32 grains polymer-tipped projectiles that retain 472 ft-lbs at 300 yards for reliable knockdown on predators under 20 kg.

Less suitable for: Long-range shooting beyond 400 yards where projectile energy drops below 325 ft-lbs, or hunting medium-to-large game over 15–20 kg (such as feral goats, pigs, or deer) where heavier centrefire calibres like .243 Winchester or .308 Winchester with greater projectile mass and penetration are required.
