The Sellier & Bellot 7×64 Brenneke 173 Grain SPCE rifle ammunition is engineered for short-to-medium-range hunting of light to medium-large game. Loaded with an 11.20-gram (173 gr) Semi-Jacketed Soft Point Cutting Edge projectile, this cartridge achieves a muzzle velocity of 770 m/s and 3,320 Joules of muzzle energy from a standard 600 mm test barrel. The projectile features a specialised stepped jacket shoulder that cuts a clean, circular entrance hole through hair and hide to promote consistent bleeding, paired with a mechanical core-jacket lock that ensures controlled frontal expansion.

Key Features

• SPCE Cutting Edge: Designed with a sharp, wadcutter-style stepped shoulder that cuts through hide rather than stretching it, producing distinct entrance wounds for enhanced blood tracking.
• Mechanical Jacket Lock: Features a grooved step that mechanically binds the Tombac (CuZn 10) jacket to the lead core, mitigating early core separation on impact.
• Hunting Trajectory: Offers an engineered Most Recommended Distance (MRD) zero of 157 metres, retaining 2,163 J of energy at 200 metres and 1,717 J at 300 metres.
• Quality Components: Assembled with reloadable factory brass casings, non-corrosive Boxer primers, and an overall cartridge length of 83.50 mm.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot 7x64 Brenneke 173 Grain Spce Cutting Edge Ammo 20 Rd for?

• Hunters targeting fallow and chital deer — requires the 173 grains SPCE bullet's mechanical jacket-lock design to provide uniform, controlled frontal expansion and punch clean, traceable entrance channels in medium game within standard bushstalking ranges.
• Hunters culling feral pigs and goats with 7x64mm rifles — relies on the 7x64mm Brenneke chambering pushing a 0.376 G1 ballistic coefficient projectile at 770 m/s, delivering 2,693 Joules of hard-hitting terminal energy at 100 metres to anchor tough, invasive animals reliably.

Less suitable for: Extended long-range hunting exceeding 350 metres where a moderate 0.376 G1 ballistic coefficient drops -129.7 cm by 400 metres (opt for sleeker polymer-tipped boat-tail ammunition), thick-skinned dangerous game like large water buffalo that require monolithic solid or bonded projectiles, or firearms requiring rimmed 7x65mmR cartridges.
