The Sellier & Bellot SB22250B delivers consistent performance for varmint hunting and target shooting with its precisely manufactured 55-grain soft point bullets. This Czech-manufactured ammunition combines traditional craftsmanship with modern quality control standards to produce reliable rounds that feed smoothly in bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles.
What Makes This Different
Sellier & Bellot's soft point design expands reliably upon impact while maintaining structural integrity during flight, making it ideal for medium-range varmint control. The 55-grain bullet weight provides an optimal balance between velocity and retained energy in the 22-250 Remington cartridge. Each round undergoes rigorous quality testing to ensure consistent powder charges and precise bullet seating depth.

Field testing demonstrates excellent accuracy potential at ranges up to 300 yards, with many rifles achieving sub-MOA groups when paired with quality optics.
