6.5×55 Swedish – 140 Gr FMJ-BT – Sellier & Bellot Rifle (SB6555C) – 400 Rounds

This 6.5×55 Swedish load (SB6555C) gives target shooters a smooth, accurate rifle round with classic long-range stability. Sellier & Bellot loads it with a 140 grain full metal jacket boat-tail bullet. That bullet profile supports clean feeding and stable flight. The full metal jacket design helps the round run well during extended range sessions. Meanwhile, the boat-tail base reduces drag and improves aerodynamic consistency. As a result, this load fits shooters who want repeatable performance on paper, steel, and formal range drills.

Sellier & Bellot lists this load at 2,582 fps and 2,072 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. Those numbers give the shooter a balanced mix of speed, recoil control, and downrange consistency. The 6.5×55 Swedish cartridge already has a strong reputation for mild recoil and excellent accuracy. Therefore, this load makes sense for shooters who want to practice often without fighting excessive shoulder fatigue. In addition, the 140 grain bullet weight works well with the caliber’s long, efficient bullet design. It helps the round resist wind and stay stable over distance.

The FMJ-BT bullet serves the target-shooting role well. It does not focus on expansion. Instead, it focuses on consistency, feeding, and flight. That makes it a practical choice for range use, competition practice, and historical rifle shooting. Moreover, Sellier & Bellot uses brass cases and Boxer primers. So, shooters can save the fired brass for reloading.

Packaging supports organized use. Each box contains 20 rounds. The listed factory case format is 20 boxes per case, which equals 400 rounds.

For the buyer, the value is clear. You get a stable 140 grain FMJ-BT load. You get manageable recoil. And you get reloadable brass from a respected European manufacturer.
