The Sellier & Bellot 9.3×62 SP ammunition (Model V332052) provides heavy-for-calibre performance engineered for close- to medium-range hunting of large and dangerous game. Loaded with a 286-grain (18.50 g) semi-jacketed soft point bullet (Bullet Type #2952), this factory-loaded cartridge delivers high terminal energy and deep straight-line penetration through heavy bone and dense muscle tissue. The traditional lead-core design is paired with a precision-drawn CuZn jacket that leaves the soft lead tip exposed, facilitating reliable mushrooming, high weight retention, and controlled expansion upon impact. Each round is assembled with reloadable brass casings and Boxer non-corrosive primers, maintaining an overall cartridge length of 83.60 mm.

Key Features

• Controlled Expansion Projectile: Uses a semi-jacketed soft point with an exposed lead tip to produce reliable terminal expansion and broad wound cavitation.
• High Energy Transfer: Delivers 4,468 Joules of muzzle energy and 2,555 Joules of energy downrange at 200 metres.
• Substantial Sectional Density: The 286-grain projectile weight ensures straight, deep penetration through thick hide and heavy bone.
• Reloadable Quality Components: Assembled in factory brass cases utilizing non-corrosive Boxer primers, packed 20 rounds per box.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot 9.3x62 Mauser 285 Grain Sp Ammo 20 Rd for?

• Feral buffalo, scrub bull, and wild cattle hunters — requires the 4,468 Joules of muzzle energy and dense 286 gr projectile weight of this 9.3x62 Mauser soft point ammunition to reliably penetrate the heavy bone structures and thick muscle of large bovine game.
• Large deer hunters pursuing Sambar and Red deer — relies on the 695 m/s muzzle velocity and controlled mushrooming of this 9.3x62mm Mauser load to deliver decisive stopping power within forested or close-cover terrain out to 200 metres.
• Feral boar hunters — benefits from the 3,411 Joules of retained downrange energy at 100 metres provided by this 9.3x62mm soft point ammunition to punch cleanly through heavy gristle shields on mature boars.

Less suitable for: Long-range shooting exceeding 200 to 250 metres, where the 0.308 G1 ballistic coefficient results in a steep bullet drop (-79.5 cm at 300 metres); open-country hunters requiring extended reach are better served by flatter-shooting, high-BC calibres or cartridges loaded with lighter, aerodynamic monolithic bullets.
