The Sellier & Bellot .243 Winchester 100gr Soft Point ammunition delivers consistent terminal ballistics for medium-game hunting and property management. Loaded with a 100-grain (6.5 g) semi-jacketed soft point projectile, this factory ammunition generates a muzzle velocity of 2,854 fps (870 m/s) and 1,809 ft-lbs (2,453 J) of muzzle energy from a 23.5-inch test barrel. Built around reloadable, Boxer-primed brass cases with an overall length of 2.673 inches (67.9 mm), this 50-round bulk pack provides hunters and landholders with an economical supply of hunting rounds designed for rapid expansion and dependable weight retention.

Key Features

• Controlled Expansion Projectile: Combines an exposed lead tip with a drawn copper-alloy jacket (Fe/CuZn 10) to initiate rapid mushrooming on impact while maintaining the structural integrity needed for adequate penetration.
• Economical Bulk Quantity: Packaged in a 50-round bulk box, reducing per-shot costs compared to standard 20-round factory packs for zeroing, pest control, and field use.
• Consistent Downrange Ballistics: Features a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.315 (G7 BC of 0.158) and a sectional density of 0.242 lb/in², retaining 2,285 fps and 1,159 ft-lbs of energy at 200 yards when zeroed at 100 yards.
• Standard Chamber Compatibility: Engineered for reliable cycling and chambering across standard .243 Winchester bolt-action and lever-action hunting rifles.

Who is the Sellier & Bellot .243 Winchester 100gr SP Bulk Pack for?

• Medium-Game Hunters — Requires the 1,809 ft-lbs of muzzle energy and expanding 100-grain soft point projectile delivered by this 243 Winchester soft point ammunition to harvest feral goats, pigs, and fallow deer cleanly within 250 to 300 metres.
• Rural Landholders Managing Farm Pests — Relies on the high-volume 50-round bulk box packaging of this 243 Winchester soft point ammunition to handle frequent pest management shoots and rifle zeroing without paying standard 20-round pack rates.

Less suitable for: Long-range shooting past 300 metres where velocity drops below the threshold required for reliable soft-point mushrooming, or hunting large, heavy game such as Sambar deer and scrub bulls; these scenarios require larger calibre rifles (.308 Winchester or .300 Win Mag) firing heavier bonded or partition projectiles for deeper penetration.
