Looking for great .300 Winchester Magnum ammunition for hunting light to medium game? Something loaded with a type of soft point bullet you aren’t yet familiar with, perhaps? Then we’ve got some Czech-made ammo deserving of your attention.
Sellier & Bellot loads this round with a 180 grain soft point cutting edge (SPCE). Its frontal section functions like any other soft point. The force of impact and penetration flatten it down. The bullet then expands and tumbles to inflict a lethal wound column.
But the SPCE also maximizes trauma on impact, too. Its rear section is cylindrical, and ends abruptly at its rim. This small shoulder stamps out a wide, clean entry wound, which maximizes bleeding to facilitate tracking (which you hopefully won’t have to do). The cutting edge also secures the core to its jacket. That increases weight retention, which has a welcome effect on penetration depth.
Sellier & Bellot’s .30 cal 180 grain SPCE has 0.353 G1 BC. If it attains the same muzzle velocity the manufacturer recorded with a 23.5” barrel, it’ll haul 1,516 ft lbs of kinetic energy to 400 yards.
