6.5×55 Swedish – 140 Gr SST – Hornady Superperformance (85507) – 200 Rounds

This 6.5x55mm Swedish load (85507) gives hunters a fast, accurate, and hard-hitting cartridge with modern Hornady performance. Hornady loads it with a 140 grain SST bullet. The polymer tip helps start expansion quickly. The secant ogive supports clean flight. As a result, this round carries well and hits with authority at practical hunting distances.

Hornady lists this load at 2,735 fps and 2,325 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. Therefore, it gives the 6.5x55mm Swedish more speed than many traditional loads in this caliber. The 140 grain bullet also fits the cartridge beautifully. It carries weight well. Meanwhile, recoil stays manageable enough for steady practice and confident field shooting.

The SST bullet gives this load its edge. It opens fast on impact. However, it also uses Hornady’s InterLock ring to help retain the core and jacket. That matters on deer, hogs, and similar medium game. The bullet needs to expand, but it also needs to keep driving.

Superformance powder adds another advantage. It increases velocity without making the load feel unruly. Moreover, it helps flatten trajectory and improves energy delivery downrange. Consequently, this cartridge suits hunters who want more reach from a smooth-shooting 6.5x55mm rifle.

Each box contains 20 rounds. Each case includes 10 boxes, totaling 200 rounds. That format supports zero work, hunting prep, practice, and reserve storage. Hornady loads this ammunition in brass cases with Boxer primers, so reloaders can save the fired brass. Retail listings confirm the 140 grain SST bullet, brass casing, Boxer primer, reloadable construction, 2,735 fps velocity, 2,325 ft-lbs energy, and 10-box case format.
