Whether you're a high-volume target shooter looking for affordable, accurate practice ammunition or a collector keeping a classic Swede fed at the range, PPU's 139gr FMJ offers the reliability and consistency you need without breaking the bank.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this ammunition work in my Swedish Mauser or other 6.5x55 rifle?
Yes. PPU's 6.5x55 Swedish ammunition is loaded to standard SAAMI and CIP specifications, making it compatible with any firearm chambered in 6.5x55 Swedish — including Swedish Mausers (M96, M38), Norwegian Krags, CZ 550s, Tikka T3/T3x, Sako rifles, and more. Always verify your firearm is in safe operating condition before use.
Is the 139gr FMJ a good load for hunting, or is it strictly for target shooting?
Full Metal Jacket ammunition is generally intended for target shooting, range training, and plinking rather than hunting. FMJ projectiles do not expand on impact the way soft-point or hollow-point hunting bullets do, which reduces terminal effectiveness on game. For hunting applications, we recommend selecting a PPU or comparable load with a soft-point or bonded hunting bullet in 6.5x55 Swedish. This FMJ load is excellent for zeroing your rifle, practicing at distance, or running drills.
Can I reload the brass casings from this ammunition?
Absolutely. PPU is well regarded among reloaders for producing high-quality brass cases. The casings are Boxer-primed, which means spent primers can be easily punched out and replaced — unlike Berdan-primed cases. PPU brass is known for its consistent wall thickness and durability, often yielding multiple reloading cycles when properly resized and annealed.
