The Sellier & Bellot 6.5mm (.264) Calibre 140 Grain Soft Point Bullets (manufacturer code V338572 / 2928) are component reloading projectiles designed for handloading centre-fire hunting cartridges. Featuring a traditional cup-and-core semi-jacketed construction with an exposed lead tip, these 140-grain (9.1 g) projectiles initiate consistent mushrooming upon impact while retaining mass for deep penetration. These inert components come in boxes of 100 and are engineered for handloaders assembling hunting ammunition for chamberings such as 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5x55 Swedish, .260 Remington, and 6.5 PRC.

Key Features

• Controlled Terminal Expansion: The semi-jacketed soft point design utilises an exposed lead nose that initiates mushrooming on impact, delivering predictable expansion and deep penetration on game.
• Calibre Versatility: Sized to a standard .264-inch (6.71 mm) diameter, making these projectiles compatible with a wide array of modern and classic 6.5mm centre-fire rifle cartridges.
• Substantial Penetration Potential: Built with a 140-grain weight profile that yields a high sectional density of 0.287, aiding in reliable straight-line penetration through tissue and bone.
• Standard Aerodynamic Profile: Delivers a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.417 and a G7 ballistic coefficient of 0.210, maintaining velocity and flight stability across practical bush and field hunting distances out to 250–300 metres.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot 6.5mm Cal 140 Grain Sp Bullets 100 Pack for?

• Handloaders loading 6.5mm rifle cartridges for deer and feral pig hunting — Requires the deep tissue penetration delivered by a 0.287 sectional density and a 140-grain projectile weight in .264-inch diameter cartridges like 6.5 Creedmoor or 6.5x55 Swedish.
• Shooters seeking traditional controlled-expansion bullets for practical hunting distances — Relies on a cup-and-core 6.5mm soft point bullet providing an exposed lead tip and a 0.417 G1 ballistic coefficient for dependable terminal mushrooming out to 250–300 metres.

Less suitable for: Dedicated long-range shooting beyond 400 metres where the 0.417 G1 ballistic coefficient causes significant velocity decay and wind drift; shooters engaging targets past this distance are better served by high-BC, polymer-tipped hunting projectiles or match-grade hollow point boat-tail (HPBT) target bullets.
