Product Overview
Sellier & Bellot's 140-grain SP is a jacketed soft point 6.5 Creedmoor load made for a variety of game. A soft lead core sits in a jacket with the lead exposed at the nose. It leaves the muzzle at 2,658 fps with 2,195 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .417.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 9.1 inches at 300 and 26.4 inches at 400, where it still carries 1,093 ft-lbs. From a 100-yard zero it drops 35.0 inches at 400.
If you're cross-shopping, Norma's Whitetail 140-grain matches it almost exactly at the muzzle on a lower G1 BC of .373, and from a 200-yard zero it drops 27.7 inches at 400. Hornady's Precision Hunter 143-grain ELD-X carries a G1 BC of .623 and drops 22.4 inches at 400 from that zero.
- Drops 1.6 inches less at 400 yards than Norma's Whitetail 140-grain from a 100-yard zero
- Still carries 1,314 ft-lbs at 300 yards
- A higher G1 BC than Sellier & Bellot's own 131-grain SP, on nine grains more bullet
- A lower G1 BC than Hornady's Precision Hunter 143-grain ELD-X, Winchester's Expedition 142-grain AccuBond LR and Federal's Fusion 140-grain
- Drops 4.0 inches more at 400 yards than that Winchester Expedition load from a 200-yard zero
- A lead core, so it cannot be used where lead-free ammunition is required
