Sellier & Bellot 6.5x57mm 131gr SP Rifle Ammo - 20 Rounds

The Sellier & Bellot SB6557A delivers consistent performance in the classic 6.5x57mm Mauser cartridge with precision-manufactured 131-grain soft point bullets. This European hunting ammunition combines traditional ballistics with modern quality control standards for reliable field performance.

What Makes This Different

Sellier & Bellot's 131-grain soft point configuration optimizes the 6.5x57mm's inherent accuracy while providing controlled expansion on medium game. The bullet weight sits in the sweet spot for this cartridge, delivering flatter trajectory than heavier options while maintaining sufficient energy transfer. Czech manufacturing standards ensure consistent powder charges and bullet seating depth across the entire production run.

Key Features

• 131-grain soft point bullet designed for controlled expansion and deep penetration
• Non-corrosive Boxer primers safe for reloading brass cases
• Consistent muzzle velocity of approximately 2,640 fps from 24-inch barrel
• Premium brass cases with uniform wall thickness for accuracy
• Temperature-stable powder formulation maintains velocity in varying conditions
• Factory-fresh ammunition with sealed primer pockets
• Compatible with all 6.5x57mm Mauser rifles and actions

Field testing demonstrates this load's effectiveness on deer-sized game at ranges extending to 300 yards. The soft point design initiates expansion upon impact while the boat-tail base maintains ballistic coefficient for extended range accuracy. Hunters appreciate the moderate recoil characteristics that allow for quick follow-up shots when necessary. The ammunition functions reliably in both vintage Mauser actions and modern sporting rifles chambered for this cartridge.
