Soft point design for controlled expansion

Sellier & Bellot has manufactured ammunition since 1825, and their soft point construction reflects that heritage. The 131-grain soft point bullet expands predictably on impact while maintaining structural integrity through intermediate barriers. This design suits hunters working within effective ranges where shot placement matters more than velocity extremes.
