6.5×55 Swedish – 120 Gr E-Tip – Nosler (40015) – 200 Rounds

The 6.5×55 Swedish has a reputation for clean kills with mild recoil, and a modern lead-free bullet makes it even more versatile. This listing is Nosler 6.5×55 Swedish 120 grain E-Tip ammo, MPN 40015, sold as 200 rounds. It suits hunters who want a premium copper alloy bullet from a classic Scandinavian cartridge.

Nosler rates this load at 2,756 fps with 2,024 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The E-Tip is a lead-free gilding metal bullet with a polymer tip that drives expansion. Because there is no lead core, it holds together and retains most of its weight, which supports deep penetration on deer and similar game. The lighter 120 grain copper bullet moves faster than traditional 140 to 160 grain lead loads in this caliber, which flattens trajectory for open-country shots.

This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 6.5x55mm Swedish, including modern sporting rifles such as the Tikka T3x, Sako 85, and CZ 550, Husqvarna and Carl Gustaf sporters, and Swedish m/96 and m/38 Mausers. A common question is whether a copper bullet will shoot well in an old Swedish Mauser. Many do, but older military barrels can be finicky, so test groups before hunting. Another common question is whether the E-Tip qualifies as nonlead for California hunting. It is a lead-free bullet, which is what California requires, but confirm current rules before your trip.

Nosler 40015 is new production ammunition, not reloads. It is loaded in brass cases. This listing ships as 10 boxes of 20 rounds for 200 rounds total from one lot. A single lot lets you confirm your zero with copper bullets and carry the same lead-free load through several deer seasons without re-checking with each new box. Lead-free hunting ammunition in less common calibers like the 6.5×55 can be hard to find in season, so a full case is a practical way to stay supplied. Keep the boxes cool and dry between hunts.
