The Sellier & Bellot 7.62 / .303 Calibre 180 Grain Soft Point (SP) Bullets (100 Pack) are inert reloading component projectiles engineered for handloading .303 British, 7.62×54mmR, and other rifle chambers requiring true .311 to .312 inch groove diameters. Featuring a drawn CuZn 10 brass jacket, a flat base, and an exposed lead core, this 180-grain (11.70 g) semi-jacketed projectile is built to deliver uniform expansion and mass retention upon terminal impact at distances between 0 and 250–300 metres.
Key Features
- Controlled Terminal Expansion: Constructed with a semi-jacketed CuZn 10 tombac jacket and an exposed soft point lead nose designed for uniform mushrooming and reliable mass retention.
- Optimised Calibre Dimensions: Manufactured with an actual bullet diameter of 7.92 mm (.311 in / .312 in nominal S&B spec), ensuring proper bore sealing in vintage and surplus military rifle barrels.
- Hunting Ballistics: Delivers a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.305 and a sectional density of 0.266 lb/in², providing stable performance across typical medium-range hunting distances.
- Component Packaging: Supplied as a box of 100 loose component projectiles for precision rifle cartridge handloading.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot 7.62/303 Cal 180 Grain Sp Bullets 100 Pack for?
- Australian hunters using .303 Lee-Enfield rifles on medium-to-large game — loads this 180-grain soft point projectile to deliver effective expansion and weight retention at impact velocities above 1,600–1,800 fps on game such as feral pigs, deer, and goats within 250 to 300 metres.
- Service rifle target shooters handloading .311 caliber ammunition — requires the exact 7.92 mm (.311 in / .312 in nominal S&B spec) diameter to properly match the groove dimensions of surplus .303 British and 7.62×54mmR chambers without risking gas blow-by from undersized .308 projectiles.
Less suitable for: Long-range precision shooting past 300 to 400 metres where the 0.305 G1 ballistic coefficient and flat base profile lead to significant trajectory drop, or standard .308-inch (7.62×51mm) bores where swaging a 7.92 mm bullet creates severe over-pressure risks; shooters in those scenarios require a streamlined boat-tail match projectile or a dedicated .308-diameter bullet profile.
