The Sellier & Bellot .30-06 Springfield 180 Grain SP Ammunition (50-round pack) delivers high terminal impact and controlled expansion for hunting medium to heavy game, as well as high-volume zeroing and range training. Featuring a traditional semi-jacketed soft point (Teilmantel) projectile with an exposed lead core and a CuZn 10 tombac jacket, this round produces a muzzle velocity of 825 m/s and 3,982 Joules of muzzle energy. The Boxer-primed, reloadable brass cases are packaged in a 50-round bulk format, allowing Australian shooters to train on running targets and hunt in the field using identical ballistic profiles.

Key Features

• Controlled Impact Expansion: The semi-jacketed soft point deforms reliably into a mushroom shape upon impact, transferring energy quickly while maintaining mass retention for deep penetration.
• Substantial Terminal Energy: Produces 3,982 Joules at the muzzle, maintaining 3,078 Joules at 100 metres and 2,344 Joules at 200 metres for ethical harvesting of large game.
• Standard Trajectory Profile: Calibrated with a Most Favourable Zeroing Distance (GEE) of 164 metres, with a trajectory drop of -6.1 cm at 200 metres and -40.7 cm at 300 metres when zeroed at GEE.
• Reloadable Standard Brass: Built with non-corrosive Boxer primers and quality brass cases suitable for handloading.
• Cost-Effective Bulk Format: Supplied in a 50-cartridge tray box (total pack weight approximately 1.30 kg) to bridge hunting and high-volume live-fire practice without shifting firearm zero.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot 30-06 Springfield 180 Grain Sp Ammo 50rd Bulk Pack for?

• Sambar deer and red deer hunters — requires the 3,982 Joules of muzzle energy and heavy 180-grain projectile weight of this .30-06 soft point ammunition to ensure deep penetration and reliable mushrooming through dense muscle and bone.
• Wild boar and feral pig hunters — benefits from the rapid energy dump and 825 m/s muzzle velocity provided by this 180-grain .30-06 soft point round to stop heavy, thick-shouldered feral swine quickly at close to medium ranges.
• Target shooters practicing with cinema ranges or running boar — utilizes the cost-effective 50-round bulk format of this .30-06 soft point ammunition to shoot high-volume running-target drills without paying premium 20-round hunting cartridge prices or changing zero between range practice and the field.

Less suitable for: Extended range open-country hunting past 300 metres where the standard cup-and-core projectile's low ballistic coefficient results in a steep -40.7 cm drop, making sleek high-BC polymer-tipped boat-tail cartridges a better option; dangerous thick-skinned game such as water buffalo that require monolithic copper solid projectiles to prevent core-jacket separation; or small varmint control where heavy 180-grain rounds cause excessive meat damage compared to lighter 125–150 grain projectiles or smaller centreboom calibres.
