Sellier & Bellot's 165gr TAC-EX-Blue brings fresh thinking to the .30-06 platform. This boat tail bullet charges out at 2785 fps, packing 2842 ft-lbs of stopping power. The TAC-EX-Blue technology isn't just another marketing gimmick - it's engineered to expand with surgical precision while maintaining its mass through thick hide and heavy bone. Think of it as having a precision instrument that transforms into a sledgehammer on impact.

Ever noticed how some bullets seem to either explode on impact or barely expand at all? That's where this load stands apart. The carefully tuned expansion characteristics create devastating wound channels on deer-sized game while carrying enough momentum to drive through an elk's shoulder. The boat tail design cuts through swirling thermals and crosswinds that send standard bullets off course, helping you connect when conditions turn nasty.

From early elk seasons through December whitetails, this load adapts to whatever Mother Nature dishes out. Rain, snow, or shine - the blue-tipped projectile maintains its terminal performance regardless of conditions. That 165-grain weight hits the perfect balance between reach and punch, giving you enough horsepower for large game without the punishing recoil of heavier loads. When your hunting plans might take you from thick timber to open basins, this versatile performer removes equipment from your list of concerns.
