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.

This 7.62x54R 180 grain Soft Point hunting ammunition is excellent quality and feeds flawlessly through my old Russian M44 Carbine. The ammo shoots consistent patterns and is honestly capable of far better accuracy than my old eyes.
You can’t g ong with S&B ammo.
