6.5×55 Swedish Mauser ammo from Sellier & Bellot pairs a 140 grain jacketed soft point bullet with boxer-primed brass cases for hunters and range shooters running Scandinavian mil-surp rifles and modern sporting chambers. The cartridge — also called 6.5×55 SE or simply the Swedish round — dates to 1894 and remains a medium-game standard across Northern Europe. Sellier & Bellot has manufactured cartridge ammunition since 1825, and the Czech factory now operates under the CBC/Magtech group alongside German manufacturer MEN. Every case ships non-corrosive and reloadable, with a soft lead-exposed nose engineered for controlled expansion on impact.

Performance at a Glance

The 140 grain JSP exits the muzzle at 2602 feet per second, delivering 1970 foot-pounds of energy. That velocity keeps the bullet supersonic past 400 yards in standard atmosphere, and the soft point construction creates a uniform mushroom on medium game — deer, antelope, and similarly sized animals. Brass cases accept large rifle primers (boxer configuration) and reload without additional prep beyond standard sizing and priming. Non-corrosive propellant and primers mean you can store sealed boxes in a climate-controlled space and fire them years later without corrosion concerns. Twenty rounds ship per box, DOT-regulated for ground transport. Federal law requires you to be at least 18 years old to purchase rifle ammunition; review our ammunition shipping restrictions before ordering if you reside in California, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Washington DC, or Connecticut.

Specs at a Glance

You pay $20.99 per 20-round box, which translates to $1.05 per round — competitive for European-made hunting loads in a chambering that sees limited U.S. production. The soft point design works on whitetail, mule deer, and similarly framed game at ethical ranges inside 300 yards. If you reload, save the once-fired brass; the large rifle primer pockets and thick case walls tolerate multiple firings with proper annealing.
