Description

Sellier & Bellot 22 Hornet 45gr SP x20

Since 1870, Sellier & Bellot has been making cartridge ammunition. They now create ammunition with premium components in their semi-jacketed bullet, which has a lead core and a metallic jacket. The front of the lead core is naked. It deforms and assumes a mushroom-like shape as it strikes the target, increasing the fatal effect. Depending on the caliber weight, it is employed by hunters, competition shooters, law enforcement organizations, and military worldwide for the majority of rifle cartridge types.
