The Sellier & Bellot SB243A delivers consistent hunting performance with 100-grain soft point bullets engineered for controlled expansion and deep penetration. This Czech-manufactured ammunition combines traditional craftsmanship with modern quality control to produce reliable rounds for medium game hunting.
What Makes This Different
Sellier & Bellot's soft point design features a exposed lead tip that initiates rapid expansion upon impact while the copper jacket maintains bullet integrity for maximum weight retention. The 100-grain bullet weight provides an optimal balance of velocity and energy transfer for the 243 Winchester cartridge. Each round undergoes rigorous quality testing to ensure consistent velocities and accuracy across the entire production lot.

Field testing demonstrates excellent accuracy potential with most 243 Winchester rifles, typically producing 1.5-2 MOA groups at 100 yards. The soft point construction makes these rounds ideal for deer, antelope, and similar-sized game where rapid expansion and energy transfer are priorities. The brass cases show minimal signs of pressure and extract cleanly in both bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles.
