The Sellier & Bellot 9.3x62 Mauser 285 Grain SP ammunition provides heavy-bullet terminal performance for hunting large, thick-skinned feral game and big game species at close to medium ranges. Packed in a 50-round bulk format under model V335592, this centerfire cartridge pairs an exposed lead-tip semi-jacketed soft point bullet with a factory-rated muzzle velocity of approximately 695 m/s (2,280 fps) and a muzzle energy of 4,468 Joules (3,295 ft-lbs). Engineered to deliver controlled mushrooming, high weight retention, and deep penetration through heavy muscle and bone, the cartridge operates within standard C.I.P. specifications featuring an overall length of 83.60 mm and a maximum average pressure rating of 390.00 MPa.

Key Features

• Controlled Expansion Bullet: Features an 18.50-gram (285 gr) semi-jacketed soft point with a lead core and bimetal (Fe/CuZn 10) jacket, engineered for uniform mushrooming and bone-breaking penetration on heavy game.
• Bulk Packaging Economy: Supplied in a 50-round bulk package (Model: V335592), reducing per-round costs for zeroing, load verification, and extended hunting camps compared to traditional 20-round boxes.
• Standard Action Compatibility: Loaded to an overall length of approximately 83.60 mm to function smoothly through standard-length (.30-06-length) magazine wells and bolt actions chambered in 9.3x62mm Mauser.
• Reloadable Quality Components: Assembled with standard reloadable brass cases and non-corrosive Boxer Large Rifle primers.
• Medium-Range Ballistics: Produces a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.308 with a sectional density of 0.305 lb/in², maintaining 3,411 Joules of energy at 100 metres and 2,555 Joules at 200 metres.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot 9.3x62 Mauser 285 Grain Sp Ammo 50 Rd Bulk Pack for?

• Heavy feral game hunters — Delivers 4,468 Joules of muzzle energy through an 18.50-gram (285-grain) soft point projectile, generating the deep penetration and controlled expansion necessary to take down 100 kg to 800+ kg animals such as water buffalo, scrub bulls, and large feral boars using 9.3x62 Mauser soft point ammunition.
• Sambar and red deer hunters — Features a heavy 285 grain bullet maintaining 3,411 Joules of energy at 100 metres and a 140-metre recommended zero, giving this 9.3x62 Mauser soft point ammunition optimal terminal authority across timber and brush country inside 200 metres.

Less suitable for: Long-range shooting beyond 250 to 300 metres where bullet drop reaches -79.5 cm and velocity drops below 450 m/s, which is better suited to high-velocity, high-BC magnum rifle calibres; or shooting light, thin-skinned vermin, which is better suited to lighter .223 to .308 calibre hunting ammunition to prevent excessive meat damage and recoil.
