How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 8" vital zone, ±4" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 300 yards.

Product Overview
Sellier & Bellot's 124-grain FMJ is a light range load for shooters who want a flat path and less wind trouble out to 300 yards. It fires a full metal jacket bullet, a plain jacketed bullet with a closed nose, made for practice rather than hunting. The bullet has a G1 BC of .379 and leaves the muzzle at 2,165 fps from Sellier & Bellot's 16-inch test barrel. Zeroed at 100 yards, it drops about 26 inches at 300.
Compared with Winchester's USA 125-grain Open Tip, the Sellier & Bellot starts 20 fps slower but holds up much better in the wind. At 300 yards, a steady 10 mph wind blowing across the range pushes the Sellier & Bellot about 12 inches sideways and the Winchester about 18. The two kick about the same in the same rifle. Compared with Hornady's Frontier 125-grain FMJ, the gap is wider: from the same 100-yard zero the Frontier drops about 31 inches at 300 yards, and the same wind pushes it about 20 inches.
Buy the Sellier & Bellot 124 if you shoot steel or paper at 200 to 300 yards and want a light load that is easy to keep on target in a breeze. Closer in, the three light loads behave alike: at 200 yards they drop within about an inch of each other, so the Winchester or the Frontier does the same job at short range. Pick Remington's 150-grain Full Metal Jacket if you want practice that feels like a 150-grain load; it kicks about 30 percent harder in the same rifle. If you would rather shoot a hollow point, Barnes' 120-grain JHP kicks about 9 percent less than the Sellier & Bellot.
- Still moving at 1,589 fps at 300 yards, against 1,414 fps for Winchester's USA 125-grain Open Tip
- Zeroed at 100 yards, it drops about 26 inches at 300 yards; Remington's 150-grain Full Metal Jacket drops about 35
- Kicks about 21 percent less than Wolf's 145-grain FMJ in the same rifle
- Carries 1,291 ft-lbs at the muzzle, 34 less than Winchester's USA 125-grain Open Tip
- Hornady's Frontier 125-grain FMJ leaves the muzzle a little faster, at 2,175 fps against 2,165
- Kicks about 23 percent less than Remington's 150-grain Full Metal Jacket, so it won't feel like practice for a 150-grain load
