Can I use these 150 grain bullets in standard .308 Winchester or .30-06 Springfield rifles?

No, these are strictly .311 in (7.92 mm) diameter bullets designed for bores like the .303 British and 7.62x54mmR. Loading them into standard American .308-bore barrels requires .308 in projectiles and doing otherwise can cause dangerous chamber pressure spikes.

What kind of terminal performance and effective range can I expect when hunting medium game in the Australian bush?

With a muzzle velocity of around 2,654 fps and a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.309, these soft point bullets provide reliable, controlled expansion on medium game like feral pigs and fallow deer up to 250 or 300 metres. Beyond 300 metres, bullet drop increases dramatically and terminal impact velocities drop below optimal expansion thresholds.

Are these Sellier & Bellot projectiles suitable for heavy Australian game like water buffalo?

No, these are traditional cup-and-core soft point projectiles intended for medium game weighing approximately 40 to 150 kg. For dangerous or heavy game like water buffalo or large scrub bulls, you should use bonded or monolithic solid-copper bullets such as the Sellier & Bellot eXergy range to avoid premature core separation.

What firearms documentation is required to purchase these reloading components in Australia?

Although these projectiles are inert, non-primed, and non-loaded reloading components, their purchase and transfer within Australia are subject to state and territory firearms regulations. Registered dealers will typically require you to present a valid Firearms Licence depending on your local state jurisdiction such as NSW, VIC, or QLD.

.303 Bullets - Sellier & Bellot V338872

The Sellier & Bellot 7.62 / .303 Calibre 150 Grain Soft Point (SP) Bullets (100 Pack) are non-primed, inert reloading projectiles engineered for handloading medium-game hunting cartridges. Designed with a standard cup-and-core construction and an exposed lead nose, each bullet expands upon impact into a reliable mushroom shape to deliver hydrostatic energy transfer. Sized to a diameter of 7.92 mm (.311 in), these projectiles provide proper bore fit for rifles chambered in cartridges such as .303 British and 7.62x54mmR.

Key Features

Controlled Expansion: Semi-jacketed soft point profile with an exposed lead core deforms reliably upon impact for effective energy transfer in medium game weighing 40 to 150 kg.
Optimised Calibre Dimensions: Manufactured to a 7.92 mm (.311 in) diameter to suit .311-bore service and sporterised hunting rifles.
Mid-Weight Hunting Profile: 150-grain (approx. 9.70-gram) flat-base bullet with a sectional density of 0.222 lb/in² balances velocity and terminal penetration.
Jacket Construction: CuZn 10 / Tombac-clad steel jacket ensures barrel engagement and structural integrity during rifling passage.
Bulk Loading Packaging: Supplied in boxes of 100 projectiles per box for handloaders developing field or range loads.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot 7.62/303 Cal 150 Grain Sp Bullets 100 Pack for?

Lee-Enfield .303 British hunters — relies on the 7.92 mm (.311 in) diameter and 150-grain soft point projectile to match traditional barrel dimensions and deliver controlled expansion on feral pigs, goats, and deer within 250 to 300 metres.
Mosin-Nagant 7.62x54mmR handloaders — requires the 7.92 mm (.311 in) bullet diameter and a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.309 to construct hunting handloads that engage .311-bore rifling correctly without excessive chamber pressure.

Less suitable for: Standard American .308-bore barrels, where a 7.92 mm (.311 in) bullet causes dangerous chamber pressure spikes, requiring .308 in (7.82 mm) projectiles instead; extended target shooting past 300 to 400 metres, where the G1 0.309 coefficient leads to rapid velocity loss and excessive drop, requiring high-BC boat-tail match bullets; and dangerous or heavy game such as water buffalo or scrub bulls, where cup-and-core soft points risk premature core separation, requiring monolithic solid-copper or bonded projectiles.
