The Winchester Power-Point X6555 delivers proven terminal performance for 6.5x55 Swedish rifles with consistent accuracy and reliable expansion. This 140-grain soft point ammunition combines traditional hunting design with modern manufacturing precision to handle medium to large game effectively.
What Makes This Different
The Power-Point bullet features a notched jacket that promotes controlled expansion while maintaining weight retention for deep penetration. Unlike full metal jacket rounds, the exposed lead tip initiates expansion on impact while the tapered jacket design prevents over-expansion. This balanced approach delivers approximately 85% weight retention with consistent mushrooming across various impact velocities.
Key Features
- 140-grain soft point bullet optimized for medium game hunting
- Notched jacket design ensures reliable expansion at hunting velocities
- Brass cases suitable for reloading with proper resizing
- Non-corrosive Boxer primers for consistent ignition
- Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications for safe chamber pressures
- 20-round boxes provide convenient range and hunting quantities
- Compatible with all 6.5x55 Swedish chambered rifles
Field performance shows effective expansion at ranges from 50 to 300 yards with sufficient energy for deer-sized game throughout this distance. The 140-grain weight provides a favorable ballistic coefficient for the 6.5x55 cartridge, maintaining velocity better than lighter bullets while offering less recoil than heavier options. Hunters report consistent performance in both bolt-action and semi-automatic platforms chambered for this classic Scandinavian cartridge.
