The Sellier & Bellot 9.3x74R TXRG (eXergy Blue) rifle ammunition provides a high-retention, lead-free hunting load designed specifically for rimmed break-action rifles. Machined from solid copper, each monolithic 250-grain (16.20 g) projectile utilizes a blue polymer tip and a boat-tail base to initiate controlled hydraulic expansion while maintaining near-100% weight retention. Delivering a muzzle velocity of 745 m/s (~2,444 fps) and 4,496 Joules of muzzle energy from the muzzle, this ammunition provides the deep penetration required for heavy game without causing lead fragmentation in meat.

Key Features

• Monolithic Copper Construction: Solid copper bullet retains near-100% of its mass upon impact, preventing lead contamination and ensuring reliable terminal penetration.
• Polymer Tip and Boat-Tail Design: The aerodynamic blue polymer tip and boat-tail base enhance external ballistics and facilitate consistent expansion across varying impact velocities.
• Rimmed Case Geometry: Built specifically to ensure positive extraction and reliable function in break-action extraction mechanisms.
• Substantial Terminal Energy: Produces 4,496 Joules of muzzle energy to cleanly anchor large, thick-skinned game species.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot 9.3x74R 250 Grain TXRG Blue Lead Free Ammo for?

• Hunters using break-action double rifles or combination guns — Designed with a rimmed case profile that guarantees reliable cycling and extraction in break-action platforms, while packaging 20 rounds per box to supply classic Drillings, Bockbüchsflinten, and kipplauf rifles chambered strictly for 9.3x74R rifle ammunition.
• Large and dangerous game hunters targeting heavy game — Generates 4,496 Joules of muzzle energy and pushes a monolithic 250-grain copper projectile at 745 m/s, delivering the deep penetration and hydraulic shock required for large feral pigs, scrub bulls, water buffalo, and heavy sambar deer.

Less suitable for: Long-range engagements beyond 150 to 200 metres, where velocity decay drops below the threshold required for monolithic copper expansion (better suited to a higher-velocity magnum rifle cartridge like a .300 or .338), or bolt-action rifles chambered for rimless cartridges such as 9.3x62mm Mauser.
