The Sellier & Bellot .308 Winchester 190 Grain HPBT Match Rifle Ammunition (SKU: V341132) is engineered for long-range precision marksmanship, benchrest disciplines, and target competition. Loaded with a heavy 190-grain (12.30-gram) Hollow Point Boat-Tail projectile (bullet #2210) housed in reloadable brass with non-corrosive Boxer primers, this cartridge delivers high aerodynamic efficiency and wind resistance. Tested out of a 600 mm (23.5-inch) barrel, it produces a muzzle velocity of 800 m/s (2,625 fps) and 3,936 Joules (2,906 ft-lbs) of muzzle energy, maintaining supersonic flight and stable trajectories past 800 metres.

Key Features

• Heavy Match Projectile: Incorporates a 190-grain HPBT design engineered strictly for aerodynamic consistency and high downrange kinetic energy retention rather than terminal game expansion.
• Optimised Aerodynamics: Yields a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.521 (G7 of 0.267) and a sectional density of 0.286 lb/in² to minimise crosswind deflection across extended ranges.
• Quality Components: Constructed with non-corrosive Boxer primers and factory-annealed, reloadable brass casings measuring 71.10 mm in overall cartridge length.
• Long-Range Ballistic Stability: Retains supersonic performance out to 800–900 metres under standard atmospheric conditions, charted on factory trajectories out to 1,000 metres.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot 308 Win 190 Grain Hpbt Match Ammo 20 Rd for?

• F-Class and benchrest competition shooters — requires a heavy 190-grain projectile that delivers a high 0.521 G1 ballistic coefficient to reduce wind drift during stationary precision target matches.
• Long-range precision rifle shooters — relies on a 2,625 fps muzzle velocity to maintain flight stability and stay supersonic through target engagements out to 1,000 metres when fired through barrels featuring a 1:10" to 1:12" rifling twist rate.

Less suitable for: Medium or large game hunters, as the target HPBT projectile lacks a controlled-expansion jacket and will not perform ethically on game animals, requiring dedicated soft-point or bonded hunting ammunition instead. It is also less optimal for targets past 800 to 1,000 metres where flatter-shooting, modern high-BC calibres carry superior wind-bucking characteristics, or for older hunting rifles with twist rates slower than 1:12" that cannot properly stabilise a 190-grain bullet.
