Frequently Asked Questions

Does the SP bullet expand on impact?

Yes. The exposed soft tip of the bullet helps initiate expansion upon impact. The actual effect depends on impact velocity and conditions.

What does Bulk mean?

Bulk means bulk packaging. On the Jahipaun page, the sales quantity is 20 cartridges, but the ammunition may not come in the usual factory retail box.

Is this the same load as the .30-06 FMJ 11.7 g?

No. The bullet weight is the same, but SP is an expanding hunting bullet and FMJ is a non-expanding training bullet. Their muzzle velocity and ballistic coefficient also differ.

Are .30-06 Springfield and .308 Winchester interchangeable?

No. These are different cartridges and only the exact caliber marked on the firearm should be used.

For which game animal is this cartridge suitable?

Suitability depends on the species, shooting distance, and current hunting regulations. Before use, minimum bullet weight and impact energy requirements must be checked.

When is S&B .30-06 Springfield SP 11.7 g Bulk the right choice?

This load is suitable for hunters who prefer a classic 180-grain soft-point bullet in .30-06 Springfield. According to the manufacturer, at 200 meters it retains a velocity of 633 m/s and energy of 2344 J.

Bulk packaging is practical if the same load is used for both checking the point of impact and hunting. This helps avoid confusion from different points of impact between training and hunting cartridges.

Expert recommendation

Check the point of impact precisely with the batch of ammunition you plan to use for hunting. Even different batches of the same type of cartridge may show slight differences in the point of impact.

If you practice with the 180-grain FMJ, do not assume the SP will hit the same spot. Check both loads separately in your firearm.
