Sellier & Bellot .223 Remington 77 Grain HPBT Match Ammunition is engineered for target shooters and precision marksmen who require high aerodynamic efficiency and crosswind resistance at extended ranges. Featuring a 77-grain (5.00 g) Hollow Point Boat-Tail projectile with a CuZn 10 jacket, this factory match ammunition achieves a muzzle velocity of 2,825 fps (861 m/s) and a muzzle energy of 1,364 ft·lb (1,853 J) when fired from a standard 20-inch test barrel. With a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.376, it maintains supersonic stability well past 500 to 600 metres, offering flat trajectories and predictable flight paths out to 1,000 yards (~914 m). Each round is assembled in reloadable brass casings fitted with non-corrosive Boxer primers to ensure uniform ignition and shot-to-shot consistency.

Key Features

• Aerodynamic HPBT Profile: The open-tip hollow-point boat-tail design provides a high G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.376 (G7: 0.193) and a sectional density of 0.219 lb/in² to minimise wind drift across distance.
• Factory-Loaded Match Consistency: Generates a consistent muzzle velocity of 2,825 fps and an estimated power factor of 217.5 kgr·fps for reliable precision shooting.
• Reloadable Components: Loaded in quality Boxer-primed brass cases with an overall cartridge length of 2.244 inches (57.0 mm), supporting consistent chambering and subsequent reloading cycles.
• Compact Packaging: Supplied in convenient 20-round retail boxes weighing approximately 0.28 kg (0.75 lb) per box.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot 223 Rem 77 Grain Hpbt Match Ammo 20 Rd for?

• PRS and service-match competitors — relies on the 0.376 G1 ballistic coefficient and 2,825 fps muzzle velocity of this 223 Remington match ammunition to minimise crosswind deflection and maintain supersonic flight well beyond 500 metres during positional target stages.
• Long-range varmint and pest controllers — utilizes the high-mass 77-grain boat-tail projectile and 1,364 ft·lb muzzle energy in this 223 Remington match ammunition to achieve tight groupings and flat trajectory out to extended ranges past 300 metres where wind bucking is critical.

Less suitable for: Rifles with slow barrel twist rates slower than 1:8 (such as 1:9, 1:12, or 1:14), which fail to stabilise a 77-grain projectile and require lighter 52-grain to 69-grain match ammunition, or hunters pursuing medium-to-large game who require dedicated soft-point or expanding bonded hunting ammunition rather than non-expanding hollow-point match bullets.
