The Sellier & Bellot 6.5x57mmR 131 grain soft point rifle ammunition delivers reliable performance for hunters and marksmen working with this classic European cartridge. Sellier & Bellot has been manufacturing ammunition since 1825, and their centerfire rifle rounds are known for consistent quality and honest ballistics—no marketing hype, just ammunition that shoots. The 131-grain soft point bullet is designed to expand reliably on game-sized targets while maintaining sufficient penetration for ethical, effective hunting.
The 6.5x57mmR (also called 6.5×57R) is a rimmed cartridge with a loyal following among European hunters and vintage rifle enthusiasts. It occupies a middle ground between lighter varmint loads and magnum hunting rounds, making it well-suited to medium game at moderate to longer ranges. Soft point construction balances expansion with controlled penetration—the bullet's exposed lead tip initiates expansion on impact while the jacket provides structural integrity through the target. Whether you're hunting with a classic bolt-action or a modern platform chambered for this versatile round, consistent ammunition matters.
This box contains 20 rounds of factory-loaded ammunition ready to use. Sellier & Bellot ammunition is manufactured to consistent specifications and has earned respect among shooters who prioritize reliability and value. Each cartridge is loaded and inspected to deliver the performance you expect from a maker with nearly two centuries of ammunition expertise.
