For hunters running the 6.5×55 Swedish Mauser, 6.5×55 Swedish Mauser ammo in the Trophy Grade line from Nosler delivers proven terminal performance through a bonded-core design that holds together under stress. The 140-grain AccuBond bullet exits the muzzle at 2650 feet per second, carrying 2182 foot-pounds of energy and a 0.509 G1 ballistic coefficient that flattens trajectory and resists wind drift at medium hunting ranges. Nosler’s proprietary bonding process eliminates voids between the copper-alloy jacket and lead-alloy core, ensuring the bullet expands predictably while retaining 60-70% of its original mass through shoulder bone, heavy muscle, and exit wounds on medium game.

Built for the Box

Trophy Grade ammunition undergoes hand-packaging and lot-by-lot inspection at Nosler’s Oregon facility. Each case starts as Nosler Custom brass — weight-sorted, flash-hole-deburred, and chamfered for consistent neck tension and ignition. The 140-grain AccuBond bullet sits atop a charge optimized for the 6.5×55’s relatively moderate pressures, and the white polymer tip protects the lead core during magazine cycling while initiating controlled expansion on impact. Boxer primers and non-corrosive propellant make spent cases viable for multiple reload cycles, provided you anneal necks and inspect primer pockets between firings.
