The Sellier & Bellot .222 Remington 50gr Semi-Jacketed Soft Point (SP) ammunition delivers reliable ignition, high velocity, and controlled expansion for varmint control, small game hunting, and range shooting. Loaded with a 50-grain (3.24 g) lead-core projectile featuring a CuZn 10 tombac jacket, this centrefire cartridge achieves a factory muzzle velocity of 3,182 fps (970 m/s) and a muzzle energy of 1,124 ft-lbs (1,524 J) from a 23.5-inch test barrel. Packaged in a 100-round bulk pack, it features non-corrosive Boxer primers and reloadable brass casings designed for standard chamber pressures and reliable cycling in bolt-action and single-shot rifles.

Key Features

• Controlled Terminal Expansion: Built with an exposed soft lead nose and a CuZn 10 alloy jacket to provide rapid, uniform expansion on impact while retaining core mass.
• Consistent Ballistic Flight: Operates with a ballistic coefficient of G1 = 0.177 (G7 = 0.088) and a sectional density of 0.142 lb/in² for predictable trajectories within standard hunting distances.
• Reloadable Brass Cases: Manufactured with Boxer-primed, standard-dimension brass casings (2.071 in / 52.6 mm overall cartridge length) for clean cycling and multiple reloading cycles.
• Bulk Range & Field Supply: Supplied in a 100-round bulk box, reducing packaging waste for high-volume pest control and range zeroing sessions.

Who is the Sellier & Bellot .222 Remington 50gr SP Bulk Pack for?

• Vermin and predator control hunters — Utilises a 50-grain soft point projectile generating 1,124 ft-lbs of muzzle energy and 511 ft-lbs at 200 yards, delivering the rapid expansion required for ethical culling of foxes, wild dogs, and feral cats within a 200-metre envelope.
• Small game hunters — Delivers a high initial velocity of 3,182 fps combined with a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.177, providing the flat trajectory and terminal performance needed for taking rabbits at standard field ranges.
• Target and range shooters — Supplies 100 rounds of reloadable Boxer-primed .222 Remington soft point ammunition per pack, supporting high-volume benchrest practice and firearm sighting without frequent restocking.

Less suitable for: Long-range shooting beyond 200 to 250 metres where velocity drops to 1,710 fps and energy reduces to 324 ft-lbs at 300 yards, or for harvesting medium-to-large game (such as fallow deer, red deer, goats, or large feral pigs); these scenarios require larger, higher-energy calibres such as .243 Winchester or .308 Winchester firing heavier projectiles.
