The Sellier & Bellot SB65B delivers consistent accuracy and reliable expansion for medium to large game hunting. This 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition features a 131-grain soft point projectile engineered for controlled expansion and deep penetration across hunting distances.
What Makes This Different
Sellier & Bellot's soft point design creates a larger wound channel than full metal jacket rounds while maintaining structural integrity for deep penetration. The 131-grain weight provides an optimal balance between velocity and energy retention at extended ranges. Czech manufacturing standards ensure consistent powder charges and precise bullet seating for shot-to-shot reliability that exceeds many budget hunting loads.
Key Features
- 131-grain soft point bullet optimized for controlled expansion
- 6.5 Creedmoor chambering for flat trajectory and wind resistance
- Boxer-primed brass cases suitable for reloading
- Non-corrosive powder and primers for barrel longevity
- 20-round boxes packed in 25-box cases (500 total rounds)
- Consistent velocities for predictable drop compensation
- Czech Republic manufacturing with European quality standards
Field performance demonstrates effective expansion on deer-sized game from 100 to 400 yards. The soft point construction initiates expansion upon impact while the lead core and copper jacket maintain weight retention for adequate penetration. Hunters report consistent groupings under 2 MOA from quality bolt-action rifles, making this ammunition suitable for both stand hunting and longer-range applications where precise shot placement matters.
