Can I use the Sellier & Bellot 6.5x55 140gr FMJ for hunting deer or feral pigs in Australia?

No, this ammunition is not suitable or legally permitted for medium-to-large game hunting. Because it features a non-expanding Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) construction, standard Australian state animal welfare codes prohibit its use for ethical game harvesting. You should instead use soft-point or expanding projectiles for hunting.

Are the brass cases in the Sellier & Bellot SBV334992 50 pack reloadable?

Yes, these rounds utilise high-quality polished brass cases equipped with Boxer primers. This makes them fully reloadable for shooters who like to handload their ammunition. If you ever need additional components for your bench, we also stock compatible Sellier & Bellot 6.5x55 SE Unprimed Brass Cases.

Is this 6.5x55 SE ammunition safe to fire in a modern 6.5 Creedmoor or 6.5 PRC rifle?

No, this ammunition is built exclusively for firearms chambered in 6.5x55 SE (Swedish Mauser) and is completely non-interchangeable with modern cartridges like 6.5 Creedmoor or 6.5 PRC due to differing case dimensions and pressure specifications.

What type of firearms licence do I need to purchase this ammunition in Australia?

To purchase and possess centerfire rifle ammunition in Australia, you must present a valid state or territory firearms licence with the appropriate category and calibre endorsement, which is typically a Category B licence for bolt-action rifles.

6.5x55 Ammunition - Sellier & Bellot SBV334992

The Sellier & Bellot 6.5x55 140gr FMJ 50 Pack delivers factory-loaded centerfire ammunition engineered for target practice, zeroing, and competition. Built for firearms chambered in 6.5×55 SE (Swedish Mauser), each cartridge features a 140-grain (9.10 g) Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail (FMJBT) projectile designed to prevent barrel leading and ensure smooth feeding. The load generates a factory muzzle velocity of 787 m/s (approx. 2,582 fps) and 2,818 Joules of muzzle energy. Assembled with reloadable, Boxer-primed polished brass cases, this 50-round pack provides consistent ballistic performance out to medium and long range.

Key Features

Aerodynamic FMJBT Profile: Features a 140 gr full metal jacket boat tail bullet with a 0.264-inch diameter, providing a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.491 for stable supersonic flight from 100 m to beyond 600 m.
Non-Expanding Core: Utilises a solid lead core enclosed in a metallic jacket to maintain structural integrity across high-volume range training and match shooting.
Reloadable Brass Cases: Loaded into factory-polished, Boxer-primed brass cases suitable for standard reloading dies.
High-Volume Pack: Supplied in a 50-round configuration suited for extended range sessions and competitive courses of fire.

Who is the Sellier & Bellot 6.5x55 140gr FMJ for?

Competitive target shooters — requires consistent trajectory at extended distances, which this 6.5x55mm rifle ammunition achieves via an aerodynamic G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.491 and a muzzle velocity of 787 m/s.
Service rifle competitors — requires traditional military-profile ammunition to run through vintage Swedish Mauser M96 and M38 actions, served by this 6.5x55 SE load firing standard 140-grain non-expanding FMJBT projectiles.

Less suitable for: Medium-to-large game hunting, where non-expanding full metal jacket projectiles do not meet legal animal welfare requirements for ethical harvesting; switch to controlled-expansion 6.5×55 SE soft point (SP) or expanding polymer-tipped hunting ammunition. It is also not interchangeable with modern 6.5mm chamberings such as 6.5 Creedmoor or 6.5 PRC rifles.
