The Sellier & Bellot .300 Winchester Magnum PTS 180 gr ammunition is engineered for mid-to-long-range hunting of medium-to-large game. Loaded with a 180-grain (11.70 g) Plastic Tip Special projectile featuring a Hornady SST polymer tip, boat-tail base, and mechanical interlock ring, this factory cartridge produces a muzzle velocity of 895 m/s (2,936 fps) and 4,686 J of muzzle energy from a 600 mm test barrel. Designed for flat trajectories and rapid energy transfer, the projectile maintains a 0.495 G1 ballistic coefficient to deliver 2,524 J of kinetic energy at 400 metres, providing reliable terminal expansion downrange.

Key Features

• Aerodynamic PTS Bullet Profile: Employs a Hornady polymer-tipped projectile with a boat-tail base that achieves a 0.495 G1 (0.250 G7) ballistic coefficient, reducing drag and wind drift at extended distances.
• Controlled Terminal Performance: Features an integrated interlock jacket ring and lead core designed to trigger rapid expansion and hydrostatic shock while retaining weight for deep penetration.
• Long-Range Energy Retention: Maintains high terminal velocity across distance, generating 4,047 J at 100 m, 3,476 J at 200 m, and 2,970 J at 300 m with an optimal zero distance of 185 metres.
• Quality Components: Loaded in standard reloadable factory brass cases with non-corrosive Boxer primers to standard SAAMI/CIP operating pressures.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot 300 Win Mag 180 Grain Pts (Hornady Sst) Ammo 20 Rd for?

• Hunters targeting red deer, sambar, and fallow deer at mid-to-long ranges — relies on this 300 Win Mag hunting ammunition to sustain 2,524 J of kinetic energy at 400 metres with an aerodynamic 0.495 G1 ballistic coefficient that resists wind drift across open valleys.
• Shooters culling feral pigs, camels, and scrub bulls in open Australian terrain — leverages this 300 Win Mag hunting ammunition for its 895 m/s muzzle velocity and 180-grain polymer-tipped bullet that delivers immediate hydrostatic shock and wide wound channels on heavy-bodied feral stock.

Less suitable for: Shots under 50 metres on massive, heavy-boned game such as trophy Asiatic water buffalo, where solid copper mono-metal or bonded heavy-jacket ammunition is better suited to prevent core separation; excessive for small varmints like foxes and rabbits, which are better served by small centrefire cartridges like .223 Remington; and strictly incompatible with non-.300 Win Mag chambers such as .300 WSM, .300 Weatherby Magnum, or .300 PRC.
