The Sellier & Bellot 7mm Rem Mag 173 Grain SPCE ammunition is a factory-loaded centrefire hunting cartridge engineered for medium to heavy game hunting. Loaded with a 173-grain (11.20-gram) Semi-Jacketed Soft Point Cutting Edge (SPCE) bullet, this ammunition delivers a muzzle velocity of 848 m/s (2,782 fps) and 4,027 Joules (2,970 ft-lbs) of muzzle energy from a 610 mm test barrel. The projectile features an exposed lead nose paired with a sharp mechanical cutting groove that locks the copper jacket to the lead core, moderating expansion while cutting a clean, circular entrance hole to promote distinct tracking channels on Australian game.

Key Features

• SPCE Projectile Architecture: Utilises an exposed soft point along with a specialised cutting shoulder that mechanically binds the jacket to the core, preventing jacket-core separation upon target impact.
• Clean-Edge Wound Channels: The wadcutter-style cutting edge punches a defined hole through animal hide to facilitate reliable, visible blood trails.
• Factory Terminal Ballistics: Produces 3,296 Joules at 100 metres and retains 2,145 Joules at 300 metres, providing strong kinetic transfer across practical hunting ranges.
• Reloadable Components: Built with non-corrosive boxer primers and reloadable brass casings (CuZn alloy) with an overall cartridge length of 79.6 mm conforming to C.I.P. standards.
• Standard Packaging: Supplied in retail boxes containing 20 rounds of ammunition.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot 7mm Rem Mag 173 Grain Spce Cutting Edge Ammo 20 Rd for?

• Hunters targeting red deer, fallow deer, and sambar deer — delivers 4,027 Joules of muzzle energy and retains 2,145 Joules of kinetic punch at 300 metres using a heavy 173-grain projectile, ensuring controlled expansion and sufficient penetration through the dense muscle and bone structures of large deer species.
• Hunters pursuing feral pigs and goats — utilises an 848 m/s muzzle velocity paired with a mechanical SPCE cutting shoulder that cuts distinct entry holes through tough hide, creating easy-to-track blood trails across close to moderate bush hunting ranges.

Less suitable for: Long-range shooting beyond 400 to 500 metres due to the flat-base G1 0.376 aerodynamic profile, which is better served by high-BC boat-tail polymer-tipped cartridges; and thick-skinned dangerous game such as water buffalo, which require monolithic solid or bonded non-expanding hunting ammunition to guarantee deep, non-deforming penetration.
