The Sellier & Bellot SB6555A delivers proven performance for 6.5x55 Swedish rifles with its 131-grain soft point design optimized for hunting medium to large game. This Czech-manufactured ammunition combines traditional craftsmanship with modern quality control standards to produce consistent, reliable rounds.
What Makes This Different
Sellier & Bellot's 131-grain soft point projectile expands reliably upon impact while maintaining deep penetration through vital organs. The exposed lead tip initiates controlled expansion, while the copper jacket retains bullet weight for maximum energy transfer. This balanced design outperforms standard full metal jacket rounds in hunting applications where terminal performance matters most.
