HSM Tipping Point 2 pairs premium components with proven bullet technology to give you reliable hunting performance in the historic 6.5×55 Swedish caliber. Loaded with 140-grain Hornady SST (Super Shock Tip) projectiles, these rounds combine match-grade accuracy with devastating terminal results. The SST's polymer tip provides rapid, controlled expansion while the one-piece core and reinforced jacket deliver excellent weight retention and deep penetration on game.
The 140-grain bullet weight strikes the ideal balance for the Swede, offering velocity retention and stability that work equally well at close range or extended distances. You get quality brass cases, premium primers, and clean-burning powders that translate to consistent velocities in the field. These rounds come new production, non-corrosive, and in reloadable boxer-primed brass, so you can stretch your dollar further if you reload.
The 6.5×55 Swedish has earned a reputation as a deceptively effective caliber. Despite modest ballistic numbers on paper, the long, heavy-for-caliber bullets deliver excellent penetration and energy downrange. This load works well on deer, elk, and other medium to large game at moderate to longer ranges. Shot placement remains critical, but when placed properly, the Tipping Point 2 produces reliable, humane results.
Whether you're shooting a vintage Swedish Mauser, a modern Tikka, or a CZ, factory ammunition like this removes the guesswork. You get consistent performance without the time investment of handloading. Twenty rounds per box gives you enough to verify zero and have ammunition ready for the season ahead.
Yes. HSM loads these rounds at standard pressures that are safe for vintage Swedish Mauser rifles. However, modern rifles like the Tikka or CZ will handle the ammunition safely and potentially generate better performance. Always check your specific rifle's specifications if you're uncertain.
Absolutely. The ammunition comes in boxer-primed, reloadable brass cases that are of good quality. This makes it an economical option for handloaders who want to stretch their ammunition budget over multiple seasons while having the flexibility to create custom loads.
The 140-grain SST is known for controlled expansion with excellent weight retention. The polymer tip initiates quick expansion while the reinforced jacket keeps the bullet together, creating a consistent wound channel. This weight works well on deer, elk, and similar-sized game, especially at moderate distances.
The Swede offers light recoil, natural accuracy, and long-for-caliber bullets that penetrate deeply. It's an excellent choice for hunters in mountain terrain, those sensitive to recoil, or anyone looking to reach out to medium distances with minimal flinch. Many experienced hunters consider it deceptively effective despite modest velocity numbers.
