The Sellier & Bellot 5.6×50R Magnum Semi-Jacketed Soft Point (SP) ammunition (Model: V330322) is engineered for precision varmint control and small-to-medium game hunting. Built with a 50-grain (3.24 g) soft-point projectile featuring an exposed lead core and a tombac-plated steel jacket, this cartridge achieves a muzzle velocity of 1,030 m/s (3,379 fps) and 1,719 Joules of muzzle energy from a standard 600 mm test barrel. Designed specifically with a rimmed case profile, it delivers reliable cycling and extraction in break-action rifles, drillings, and combination firearms, offering flat trajectories with a manufacturer Most Recommended Distance (MRD) zero of 188 metres.

Key Features

• Rapid Mushrooming Terminal Performance: Features S&B Bullet #2913 with an exposed lead core that deforms quickly upon impact to transfer energy rapidly into soft tissue.
• Flat High-Velocity Trajectory: Pushes a 50 gr projectile at 1,030 m/s, yielding a 100-metre velocity of 844 m/s (1,154 J) and retaining 676 m/s (741 J) at 200 metres.
• Reloadable Rimmed Cases: Assembled with non-corrosive Boxer primers and quality reloadable brass specifically rimmed for positive mechanical extraction in single-shot and combination actions.
• Predictable Ballistics: Features a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.177 (G7 of 0.088) and a sectional density of 0.142 lb/in², dropping only 9.0 cm at 200 metres when zeroed at 100 metres.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot 5.6x50r Magnum 50 Grain Sp Ammo 20 Rd for?

• Hunters targeting European roe deer and Australian feral goats using break-action stalking rifles — requires the dedicated rimmed case extraction of the 5.6x50mm Rimmed Magnum cartridge and flat-shooting terminal performance driven by a 50 grains soft-point bullet.
• Pest controllers targeting foxes and wild dogs with combination guns — relies on a high muzzle velocity of 1,030 m/s from this rimmed soft point rifle ammunition to deliver rapid energy dump and a flat trajectory out to an optimal zero of 188 metres.

Less suitable for: Long-range shooting beyond a 200 to 250 metres threshold where terminal energy falls below 700 J, large game such as Red, Sambar, or Rusa deer requiring larger medium-to-heavy calibres (such as .270 Win or .308 Win soft points), or rifles chambered for the rimless 5.6×50mm Magnum cartridge which require standard rimless extractor ammunition.
