The Sellier & Bellot .30-06 Springfield TXRG (eXergy Blue) 180 Grain Lead-Free Ammunition delivers controlled expansion and high mass retention for medium-to-large game hunting. Built with a solid monolithic copper projectile, polymer tip, and boat-tail base, this non-toxic load is engineered to achieve clean penetration without fragmenting lead into harvested meat. Fired from a standard 600 mm test barrel, it produces a muzzle velocity of 809 m/s and a muzzle energy of 3,829 Joules, maintaining a flat trajectory supported by a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.442.

Key Features

• Monolithic Copper Construction: Solid copper body ensures near-100% weight retention upon impact, avoiding meat contamination from lead fragmentation while complying with non-toxic hunting mandates.
• Polymer Tip & Grooved Shank: The blue polymer tip initiates uniform expansion across varied terminal velocities, while external relief grooves reduce barrel fouling and regulate chamber pressure.
• Downrange Energy Retention: Maintains 3,218 Joules at 100 metres and 2,686 Joules at 200 metres, retaining the terminal force necessary for large-bodied game.
• Reloadable Quality Components: Loaded in standard Boxer-primed, non-corrosive brass cases with a cartridge overall length of 84.80 mm.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot 30-06 Springfield 180 Grain Txrg (Exergy) Blue Lead Free Ammo 20 Rds for?

• Australian large game hunters targeting sambar deer, red deer, and wild boar — provides deep tissue penetration through heavy muscle and bone by driving a heavy 180-grain monolithic copper projectile at 3,829 Joules of muzzle energy to ensure ethical harvesting with this 30-06 Springfield hunting ammunition.
• Hunters operating in lead-restricted jurisdictions — satisfies statutory non-toxic hunting mandates by utilising an entirely lead-free copper projectile that reaches a muzzle velocity of 809 m/s while maintaining an aerodynamic G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.442 for consistent downrange trajectory.

Less suitable for: Extended long-range hunting beyond 400 metres, where velocity drops to 559 m/s and downrange energy drops below the thresholds required for reliable monolithic copper petal expansion; for long-range targets, a lighter non-lead bullet variant or a traditional rapid-expanding lead-core hunting projectile is better suited. It is also incompatible with non-30-06 chambers such as .308 Winchester or .300 Winchester Magnum.
