Lapua‘s 6.5×55 Swedish ammunition (brand part no. 4316040) loads a 136-grain Scenar-L open tip match bullet for precision shooters running one of the mildest-recoiling, most historically accurate 6.5mm cartridges made. 6.5×55 Swedish dates back to a Scandinavian military and target-shooting tradition that still produces some of the most consistent factory ammunition available, and Lapua builds its reputation on exactly that kind of consistency.

For 6.5×55 Swedish shooters who want genuine match-grade ammunition, this rifle ammunition is built to that standard.
