Sellier & Bellot Rifle Ammunition — 6.5×55 Swedish 140gr FMJ Boat Tail (SB6555C / UPC 754908511389)

Pack: 20 rounds per box, 20 boxes per case

The Sellier & Bellot (S&B) Rifle load in 6.5×55 Swedish with a 140-grain Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail (FMJBT) projectile is a centerfire rifle cartridge intended for rifles chambered in 6.5×55 (often referred to as 6.5×55 Swedish Mauser). This product is identified by model/sku SB6555C with UPC 754908511389. Packaging is listed as 20 rounds per box and 20 boxes per case, totaling 400 rounds per case.

Cartridge: 6.5×55 Swedish

The 6.5×55 Swedish cartridge has long-standing use in sporting and military-surplus rifle platforms and remains common among shooters using Swedish Mauser-pattern rifles and modern rifles chambered for 6.5×55. As with many legacy cartridges, rifles can vary widely in:

  • Chamber dimensions and throat geometry

  • Barrel condition and twist rate (especially in older rifles)

  • Action strength and manufacturer guidance

  • Preferred bullet weights and loads for accuracy

Users should confirm their rifle is chambered for 6.5×55 and consult manufacturer guidance—particularly when using older surplus rifles where pressure standards and action condition may be relevant.

Projectile: 140gr Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail (FMJBT)

This load uses a 140-grain FMJ Boat Tail bullet:

  • FMJ (Full Metal Jacket): A jacketed projectile designed to reduce barrel fouling and maintain consistent feeding characteristics in many rifle platforms.

  • Boat Tail: A tapered bullet base intended to improve aerodynamic efficiency compared to flat-base designs, potentially supporting more stable external ballistics at distance.

A 140-grain bullet weight is common in 6.5×55 and may provide a balance of ballistic efficiency and recoil characteristics, though results depend on the specific rifle and barrel length.

Use Context Notes

FMJBT ammunition is commonly used for:

  • General range practice

  • Familiarization and training

  • Function testing and reliability verification

  • Consistent paper/steel target work (where permitted)

Local range rules and regulations may restrict FMJ use in certain settings, so users should confirm allowed ammunition types before use.

Packaging Configuration

  • Rounds per box: 20

  • Boxes per case: 20

  • Total rounds per case: 400

This configuration supports bulk inventory needs and simplifies lot tracking for organizations and individuals who maintain consistent ammunition supplies for training cycles.

Compatibility and Safety Considerations

For safe and appropriate use:

  • Use only in rifles chambered for 6.5×55 Swedish

  • Confirm magazine and feeding compatibility for your specific platform

  • Verify point-of-impact and accuracy behavior, especially with older barrels

  • Follow any rifle manufacturer or gunsmith guidance regarding safe ammunition selection, particularly for surplus actions

Users frequently chronograph and document ballistic performance when shooting at varying distances or under changing environmental conditions.

Storage and Handling Notes

To maintain consistent performance and safe use:

  • Store ammunition in a cool, dry environment

  • Keep in original packaging when possible for lot identification

  • Avoid exposure to oils, solvents, and moisture

  • Inspect cartridges for dents, corrosion, or damage before firing
