The Sellier & Bellot .30-06 Springfield 180 Grain SPCE ammunition (Product Code: V331772) is engineered for medium to large game hunting. Loaded with an 11.70-gram Semi-Jacketed Soft Point Cutting Edge bullet, this cartridge features a CuZn 10 brass jacket mechanically interlocked with a lead core. The integrated shoulder cutting edge shears hair and tissue on impact to produce a clean, non-closing entrance wound, aiding rapid, uniform mushroom expansion and prominent blood trails. Housed in reloadable, boxer-primed brass cases, each factory round is manufactured to consistent CIP hunting standards.

Key Features

• Locking Cutting Edge: The stepped jacket ridge mechanically locks the lead core to prevent jacket-core separation and induce reliable expansion.
• Enhanced Wound Channels: The sharp shoulder punches a distinct, circular entrance hole rather than stretching the hide, improving external drainage and blood tracking.
• Standard Velocity: Delivers a muzzle velocity of 805 m/s (2,641 fps) and 3,791 J of muzzle energy out of a standard 600 mm test barrel.
• Premium Reloadable Brass: Assembled in factory non-corrosive, boxer-primed brass cases with an overall cartridge length of 80.00 mm.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot 30-06 Springfield 180 Grain SPCE Cutting Edge Ammo 20 Rd for?

• Feral pig and deer hunters engaging game between 0 and 250 metres — provides 3,791 J of muzzle energy and a 180 gr projectile loaded to a muzzle velocity of 805 m/s, yielding controlled expansion and reliable knockdown across traditional bush ranges.
• Hunters requiring distinct blood trails in dense Australian bushland — uses a stepped shoulder cutting edge combined with a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.353 that punches an open, non-stretching entrance wound through hide to ensure immediate, heavy external bleeding.

Less suitable for: Long-range hunting exceeding 300 metres where the 0.353 G1 ballistic coefficient experiences significant bullet drop (−51.9 cm from a 100 m zero), making sleek, high-BC polymer-tipped boat-tail cartridges a better choice; or thick-skinned heavy game like buffalo, which require deep-penetrating monolithic copper solid bullets rather than rapid-expanding soft points.
