Few cartridges have earned the global reputation of the .30-06 Springfield, and the Sellier and Bellot 30-06 Spr 180gr 2670fps HPC Centrefire Ammo is a serious load built to make the most of everything this calibre has to offer. Sellier and Bellot's HPC (Hollow Point Capped) projectile combines a traditional expanding hollow point cavity with a damage-resistant copper cap, delivering the aerodynamic consistency of a spitzer-style bullet alongside controlled, reliable expansion on impact. At 180 grains (11.7g), this is a load tuned for heavy game, generating 2,850 ft-lb (3,876 joules) of muzzle energy at 2,670 fps (814 m/s), making it well suited to large and tough Australian species including sambar deer, feral pigs, and scrub bulls. Each box contains 20 rounds of newly manufactured brass-cased, Boxer-primed ammunition built and measured to CIP standards, meaning the brass is fully reloadable for those who want to get more out of every case.

Sellier and Bellot 30-06 Spr 180gr 2670fps HPC Centrefire Ammo Key Features

• HPC Projectile Design: The Hollow Point Capped bullet features an open cavity topped with a copper tip. This protects the hollow point from deformation during feeding and flight, while ensuring the tip initiates reliable, controlled expansion on impact rather than plugging with material.
• Bullet Weight: 180 grains (11.7g) sits at the heavier end of the .30-06 range, providing deeper penetration and better retained energy at distance compared to lighter loads, making it appropriate for larger and tougher game animals.
• Muzzle Velocity and Energy: Rated at 2,670 fps (814 m/s) with 2,850 ft-lb (3,876 joules) of muzzle energy, as tested from a 23.5" (596mm) barrel. Figures were obtained using a 600mm (23.5") test barrel in accordance with CIP protocols.
• Ballistic Coefficient: G1 BC of 0.546 and G7 BC of 0.275 indicate a projectile that resists wind drift and retains velocity well at extended range, important for maintaining terminal performance in open country hunting scenarios.
• Sectional Density: A sectional density of 0.271 lb/in² is strong for a .308" (7.82mm) diameter bullet at this weight, supporting deep penetration through heavy muscle and bone on large game.
• Cartridge Dimensions: Overall cartridge length of 3.283" (83.4mm), built to CIP specifications ensuring compatibility with standard .30-06 Springfield chambers.
• Brass Casing and Boxer Primer: New-production brass casings paired with a Boxer primer make this ammunition fully reloadable. The single, centred flash hole of the Boxer design simplifies decapping and case preparation for handloaders.
• CIP Certified: Manufactured and tested to Commission Internationale Permanente (CIP) standards, ensuring consistent pressure, dimensional accuracy, and reliable primer ignition across every round in the box.
• Rounds Per Box: Sold in boxes of 20 rounds.

Sellier and Bellot have been producing ammunition since 1825 and this .30-06 HPC load reflects that depth of manufacturing experience. Whether you're heading out for a sambar stalk in the high country or managing feral animals on a large property, this is a well-constructed, purpose-built hunting round that delivers genuine performance from a proven calibre.
