Product Overview
Sellier & Bellot's 131-grain load is a plain soft-point hunting round for the 6.5 Creedmoor. The soft point is a jacketed bullet with lead exposed at the tip. It is rated at a G1 BC of .389 and leaves the muzzle at 2,740 fps with 2,183 ft-lbs of energy.
Compared with Hornady's American Whitetail 129, the Sellier & Bellot is slower and drifts more. The American Whitetail starts 80 fps faster, and at 400 yards a steady 10 mph wind blowing across the range pushes the Sellier & Bellot about 16 inches sideways and the American Whitetail about 13. The two kick the same in the same rifle. Compared with Norma's Whitetail 140-grain, the 131-grain Sellier & Bellot is the lighter, faster load. It starts 83 fps faster, and the heavier Norma kicks about 10 percent harder in the same rifle.
Buy the Sellier & Bellot if you want a plain soft point that is faster and softer-kicking than the Norma. Pick the American Whitetail if you want more speed and less wind drift at the same recoil. Pick the Norma if you prefer a heavier 140-grain bullet and don't mind the extra kick. For zeroing and practice, Winchester USA 125-grain Open Tip Range is a range load that starts 110 fps faster.
- Kicks about 9 percent less than the Norma Whitetail 140-grain in the same rifle
- At 500 yards a 10 mph crosswind pushes it about 26 inches, against about 29 for the Norma Whitetail 140-grain
- Carries 1,040 ft-lbs at 400 yards against 999 for the Norma Whitetail 140-grain
- The Hornady American Whitetail 129 carries 1,209 ft-lbs at 400 yards against 1,040
- Zeroed at 100 yards, it drops about 33 inches at 400, against about 30 for the Hornady American Whitetail 129
- The Winchester Super-X 129 leaves the muzzle 80 fps faster, 2,820 fps against 2,740
