S&B 7X64 SPCE 11,2 G (BULK)

S&B 7×64 SPCE 11.2 g Bulk is a 50-cartridge pack of hunting ammunition. Each cartridge uses a heavy 11.2 g / 173 gr soft-point cutting-edge bullet.

Trajectory reference

Manufacturer-published impact points with a 100 m zero:

• 50 m: –0.2 cm

• 100 m: 0.0 cm

• 200 m: –15.5 cm

• 300 m: –56.5 cm

• 400 m: –129.7 cm

• Manufacturer-specified maximum point-blank range: 157 m

These figures are intended for comparison. Actual trajectory and point of impact depend on the firearm, sight height, ammunition lot and atmospheric conditions.

Frequently asked questions

What does Teilmantel CE mean?

Teilmantel is the German term for a semi-jacketed bullet. CE refers to the projectile’s cutting edge and corresponds to Sellier & Bellot’s SPCE construction.

What is the difference between SPCE and a conventional SP bullet?

The SPCE bullet incorporates a cutting edge in its jacket to help retain the jacket and lead core. A conventional SP bullet has a simpler soft-point construction without the characteristic SPCE cutting edge.

How does this differ from the previously described 9.1 g SP load?

The SPCE uses a heavier 173-grain bullet with a muzzle velocity of 770 m/s. The 9.1 g SP load uses a 140-grain bullet with a muzzle velocity of 856 m/s. Their trajectories and points of impact can therefore differ considerably.

Are 7×64 and 7×64 Brenneke the same calibre?

Yes. Both names identify the same rimless rifle cartridge. Compatibility must nevertheless be confirmed from the firearm’s calibre marking.

Are 7×64 and 7×65 R interchangeable?

No. The 7×65 R is a rimmed cartridge primarily intended for break-action firearms. It must not be used in a 7×64 chamber or vice versa.

Does the bulk pack have different ballistics from the 20-round SPCE box?

When both packages contain the same 11.2 g SPCE loading, the same ballistic reference data apply. The package size and product code are nevertheless different.

What game is this ammunition suitable for?

The manufacturer describes the SPCE bullet as appropriate for light to medium game. Actual suitability depends on the game species, distance and applicable bullet-weight and impact-energy requirements.

When is S&B 7×64 SPCE 11.2 g Bulk the right choice?

This loading suits 7×64 rifle users who prefer a heavier 173-grain hunting bullet and SPCE cutting-edge construction. According to the manufacturer, the bullet retains a velocity of 622 m/s and energy of 2163 J at 200 metres.

The 50-cartridge package is practical when the same ammunition will be used both to confirm the rifle’s accuracy and point of impact and for hunting. This allows practice and field use with the same bullet weight, construction and ballistics.

Expert recommendation

The heavier 11.2 g SPCE bullet can produce a different point of impact from a 9.1 g SP or FMJ load. Recheck the zero even when the rifle was previously sighted for the same calibre and distance.

Manufacturer ballistic tables provide reference figures rather than results for an individual firearm. Confirm the point of impact at several practical distances and hunt only at distances where the rifle’s accuracy and trajectory have been personally verified.

Heavy-bullet 7×64 SPCE hunting ammunition

S&B 7×64 SPCE 11.2 g Bulk combines a 173-grain cutting-edge hunting bullet, 3320 J of muzzle energy and a 50-cartridge package. It is a practical option for hunters who want to use the same heavier-bullet load for rifle confirmation and hunting.
