Description
Sellier & Bellot 7.62x54R ammunition (SB76254RB) features a 180-grain Soft Point (SP) bullet designed for versatility across multiple shooting applications.
This cartridge represents a quality offering from one of Europe’s oldest ammunition manufacturers, known for consistent performance and reliable construction.
The 7.62x54R caliber, originally developed for the Russian Mosin-Nagant rifle in 1891, remains popular among military surplus rifle enthusiasts, hunters, and long-range shooters worldwide.
The 180-grain bullet weight provides excellent downrange energy retention and penetration capabilities, while the Soft Point design offers controlled expansion for hunting medium to large game. This ammunition features a non-corrosive boxer primer and reloadable brass cases, setting it apart from many military surplus options in this caliber.
Shooters appreciate Sellier & Bellot’s reputation for tight quality control and consistent velocities, typically achieving around 2,600 feet per second from standard barrel lengths. The SP bullet makes this particular load well-suited for hunting applications where expanding ammunition is required, unlike the full metal jacket variants more commonly found in this historic caliber.
For Mosin-Nagant owners and other 7.62x54R rifle enthusiasts seeking commercial-grade ammunition with hunting capabilities, this Sellier & Bellot offering provides an excellent balance of performance, quality, and value.
