Description

Description

This 6.5x55mm Swedish Load (85507) offers hunters a fast-moving, accurate and hard-hitting round with Hornady’s modern performance. Hornady loaded it with a SST 140 grain bullet. The polymer tip allows for rapid expansion. Secant ogive helps to maintain a clean flight. This round is a good carrier and has a powerful impact at hunting distances.

Hornady states that this load has a muzzle energy of 2,325 ft lbs and 2,735 fps. This gives the 6.5x55mm Swedish a faster speed than most traditional loads of this caliber. The 140 grain bullet fits perfectly into the cartridge. The cartridge carries the weight very well. Recoil is manageable for confident shooting in the field and steady practice.

This load is distinguished by the SST bullet. The bullet opens quickly on impact. It also uses Hornady’s InterLock ring, which helps retain the core and jacket. This is important for medium game such as deer, hogs and other similar medium-sized animals. The bullet must expand but also continue to drive.

The Superformance Powder is a great addition to the product line. It increases velocity while not making the load feel unruly. It also helps to flatten the trajectory and increases energy delivery downrange. This cartridge is ideal for hunters who are looking to get more range from their 6.5x55mm smooth-shooting rifle.

Each box contains 20 rounds. Each case contains 10 boxes totaling 200 rounds. This format is ideal for hunting preparation, practice and reserve storage. Hornady loads the ammunition in brass casings with Boxer primers so that reloaders may save the fired brass. Retail listings confirm 140 grain SST, brass casings, Boxer primers, reloadable design, 2,735fps velocity and 2,325ft-lbs of energy.
