Can I use the S&B 140 Grain FMJ bullets for ethical deer or pest hunting in Australia?

No, these are Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) projectiles designed strictly for non-expanding target practice and paper or steel shooting. Because they do not expand upon impact, they are incompatible with live-game hunting and regulatory bodies restrict their use for taking game. For hunting applications, you should use an expanding soft point or monolithic projectile instead.

What barrel twist rate do I need to properly stabilise these 140-grain 6.5mm bullets?

To properly stabilise the 140-grain boat-tail profile and maintain a consistent exterior ballistics trajectory with a 0.491 G1 ballistic coefficient, a fast barrel twist rate of 1:8" or faster is required. Slower historic twist rates, such as 1:9", may lead to aerodynamic instability and degraded target accuracy downrange.

Which 6.5mm rifle calibres are compatible with these Sellier & Bellot .264 bullets?

These projectiles feature a standard .264-inch diameter (6.70 mm) and are fully compatible with popular 6.5mm reloadable rifle cases including 6.5mm Creedmoor, 6.5x55mm Swedish Mauser, 6.5x47mm Lapua, and .260 Remington. They are strictly engineered for .264" groove diameters and will not work in .277, .284, or .308 chamberings.

Do I need to present a firearms licence to purchase these reloading components in Australia?

Yes, while component bullets do not contain propellant or primers, they are regulated reloading components under Australian state and territory firearms laws. Depending on your specific jurisdiction, you may be required to present a valid firearms licence or proof of eligibility at the time of purchase.

6.5mm Reloading Bullets - S&B V339622

The Sellier & Bellot .264 / 6.5mm 140 Grain FMJ Reloading Bullets (Product Code: V339622, Factory Code: 2905) are standalone component projectiles engineered for handloading standard 6.5mm rifle cartridges. Featuring a Full Metal Jacket Boat-Tail (FMJ-BT) profile and a CuZn 10 tombac jacket (90% copper, 10% zinc alloy), these projectiles deliver smooth magazine feeding, eliminate bore leading, and maintain stable exterior ballistics for target practice and range use.

Key Features

Aerodynamic Boat-Tail Profile: Built with a boat-tail base that yields a 0.491 G1 ballistic coefficient and a 0.247 G7 ballistic coefficient for stable trajectory and reduced drag out to 500–800 metres.
CuZn 10 Tombac Jacket: Encases the lead core in a durable 90/10 copper-zinc alloy, preventing barrel fouling and leading during high-volume shooting strings.
Standard Chambering Compatibility: Sized to standard .264-inch (6.70 mm) diameter specifications, seating properly in cases such as 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5x55mm Swedish Mauser, 6.5x47mm Lapua, and .260 Remington.
Consistent Sectional Density: Provides a sectional density of 0.287 lb/in² at a 140-grain weight, matching common factory target ballistic profiles.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot .264 6.5mm 140 Grain FMJ Bullets 100 Pack for?

High-volume handloaders shooting 6.5mm rifles — Loads affordably for paper and steel target practice using 100-pack batches of .264-inch diameter projectiles that reproduce standard factory 140-grain ballistics without the cost of premium match components.
Competitive shooters seeking cost-effective practice projectiles — Delivers predictable exterior ballistics out to 500–800 metres with a 0.491 G1 ballistic coefficient and a boat-tail base designed for high-repetition positional and recoil management training.

Less suitable for: Live-game hunting where terminal expansion is legally and ethically required, as the non-expanding full metal jacket construction produces pass-through penetration; hunters should choose expanding soft-point or monolithic hunting projectiles instead. It is also unsuitable for rifles with barrel twist rates slower than 1:8" (such as historic 1:9" barrels), which fail to properly stabilise a 140-grain boat-tail projectile, and cannot be seated in non-.264 calibres such as .277, .284, or .308.
