Can I use these S&B .311 bullets in a standard .308 Winchester or .308 bore rifle?

No, these bullets feature a nominal calibre of .311 inches and are strictly built for barrels grooved to .310 to .312 inches, such as 7.62x39mm rifles. Loading them into a standard Western .308 inch bore will cause dangerous overpressure spikes and poor accuracy.

Are these S&B 123 grain FMJ bullets suitable for hunting medium-to-large game in the Australian bush?

No, these are non-expanding Full Metal Jacket projectiles designed primarily for target shooting, plinking, and range training. They lack the terminal expansion required for humane hunting of medium-to-large game like deer, pigs, or goats, and should be restricted to shooting ranges and paper targets.

What is the optimal effective range when handloading these 123 grain FMJ bullets in 7.62x39mm?

When loaded to typical 7.62x39mm velocities of around 2,350 to 2,450 fps, these projectiles with a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.286 perform best at short- to medium-range engagements between 0 and 200 to 300 metres.

Do I need any special acquisition permits or licences to purchase these component bullets in Australia?

As component projectiles consisting only of inert metal, they do not contain propellant or primers and generally fall outside the strict permits required for complete ammunition. However, buyers must always comply with their specific state or territory firearms and dangerous goods regulations regarding storage and handling, and ensure the projectile matches their registered rifle calibre.

7.62mm FMJ Reloading Bullets - S&B V339922

The Sellier & Bellot 7.62 Cal .311 123 Grain Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) Bullets (100-Pack) are reloading component projectiles engineered for precise handloading in rifles requiring .310 to .312-inch bore diameters. Manufactured in the Czech Republic by Sellier & Bellot (factory bullet number 2907), each projectile consists of a lead core encased in a non-magnetic CuZn 10 gilding metal jacket. Featuring a standard tangent ogive profile and a nominal weight of 8.00 grams (123/124 grains), these component bullets deliver reliable feeding across both bolt-action and semi-automatic platforms for consistent short- to medium-range target shooting.

Key Features

Component Reloading Bullets: Supplied as loose projectiles in a 100-pack for handloaders, requiring standard case prep, charging, and seating dies.
Clean-Shooting Gilding Metal Jacket: The CuZn 10 jacket eliminates bore lead fouling and complies with range regulations where magnetic or bi-metal steel-jacketed projectiles are prohibited.
Reliable Feed Geometry: The traditional FMJ tangent ogive profile promotes smooth cycling from magazines in semi-automatic and bolt-action firearms alike.
Optimised Aerodynamics: Features a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.286, offering stable flight characteristics for target training and service rifle practice out to 200–300 metres.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot 7.62 Cal .311 123 Grain Fmj Bullets 100 Pack for?

7.62x39mm Handloaders — requires true .311-inch (7.92 mm) diameter reloading component projectiles paired with a standard 123-grain weight to match factory internal and external ballistics in rifles like the SKS, CZ 527, and Ruger American Ranch.
Target Shooters at Regulated Ranges — relies on a non-magnetic CuZn 10 gilding metal jacket in a 100-pack format that meets range fire-safety rules while maintaining a 0.286 G1 ballistic coefficient for predictable accuracy out to 200–300 metres.
Vintage Military Rifle Reloaders — utilizes a .311-inch diameter projectile to assemble reduced-recoil, light-bullet target loadings for oversized .303 British or 7.62x54R chambers without excess bore friction.

Less suitable for: Standard .308-inch bore rifles (where firing .311-inch projectiles creates dangerous overpressure spikes; use dedicated .308-calibre reloading bullets instead), or humane hunting of medium-to-large game such as deer and pigs (where non-expanding FMJ bullets are legally or ethically unsuitable; use expanding soft-point or hollow-point game projectiles instead).
