6.5×55 Swedish – 140 Gr PP – Winchester Power-Point (X6555) – 200 Rounds

Winchester’s Super-X Power-Point is one of the best known traditional hunting loads in America, and the 6.5×55 version keeps classic Swedish rifles in the deer woods. This listing is Winchester Super-X 6.5×55 Swedish 140 grain Power-Point ammo, MPN X6555, sold as 200 rounds. It is a familiar, affordable choice for hunters with a Swede or a modern rifle in this chambering.

Winchester rates this load at 2,550 fps with 2,021 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The Power-Point uses a notched jacket and exposed lead tip for dependable expansion, while the long 140 grain bullet carries excellent sectional density for deep penetration. That combination is why the 6.5×55 punches above its recoil on deer, black bear, and hogs. The modest velocity is in keeping with the pressure levels that suit older Swedish military rifles.

This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 6.5x55mm Swedish, including Swedish m/94 carbines, m/96 rifles, m/38 short rifles, Husqvarna sporters, the Tikka T3x, Sako 85, and CZ 550 in 6.5×55. A common question is why the 6.5×55 is so effective with only moderate velocity. Its long, heavy bullets penetrate deeply and retain energy well, so they work better than their speed alone suggests. Another common question is whether the 6.5×55 needs a special scope mount on military rifles. Most surplus m/96 rifles require a gunsmith-fitted or no-drill mount, since they were built for iron sights.

Winchester X6555 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. It uses boxer-primed brass cases with non-corrosive priming, and the brass is useful for reloading. This listing ships as 10 boxes of 20 rounds for 200 rounds total from one lot. A full case keeps a vintage or modern 6.5×55 supplied with consistent hunting ammunition for years. Hunting loads for this caliber are produced in smaller runs than popular American cartridges, so buying ahead avoids empty shelves in the fall. Store the boxes in a cool, dry place.
