The Sellier & Bellot .223 Remington 52 gr HPBT target ammunition delivers high-velocity match precision and rapid terminal expansion. Designed with a uniform hollow-point tip and an aerodynamic boat-tail base, this round achieves a flat trajectory with a muzzle velocity of 1,040 m/s and an energy output of 1,817 to 1,822 Joules. Each round is assembled in a reloadable, boxer-primed brass case, offering group consistency for precision target disciplines and immediate expansion for small pest control.

• Match-Grade Projectile: Utilises a 52-grain (3.36 grams) Hollow Point Boat-Tail bullet designed to reduce aerodynamic drag with an approximate G7 ballistic coefficient of 0.121.
• High-Velocity Trajectory: Produces a factory-rated muzzle velocity of 1,040 m/s (~3,412 fps) for flat-shooting performance across short-to-medium ranges.
• Quality Reloadable Components: Built with factory-new, boxer-primed brass cases suitable for precision handloading.
• Packaging Standard: Supplied in boxes of 20 rounds per pack.

Who is the Sellier & Bellot .223 Remington 52gr HPBT for?

• Club target shooters and precision benchrest competitors — requires tight group consistency from .223 Remington target ammunition, benefiting from the 52-grain boat-tail profile and an aerodynamic G7 ballistic coefficient of 0.121.
• Open-field varmint hunters targeting foxes and rabbits — relies on the rapid terminal expansion of lightweight .223 Remington target hollow points driven at a high muzzle velocity of 1,040 m/s for clean pest management.

Less suitable for: Long-range shooting beyond 300 metres or rifles featuring fast 1:7" to 1:8" twist rates, which encounter increased wind drift and require heavier 69 gr or 77 gr HPBT match ammunition; hunting medium to large game such as deer or large boar, which requires heavier, controlled-expansion soft-point or bonded hunting bullets.
