Frequently asked questions

What makes the Super Shock Tip design effective in the 6.5x55 Swedish?

The polymer tip initiates expansion upon impact while the bonded core maintains integrity through tough materials. This combination produces reliable terminal performance across typical hunting and target distances without excessive bullet failure or deflection.

Is 140-grain ammunition appropriate for standard 6.5x55 Swedish rifles?

Yes. The 140-grain weight sits in the middle of the cartridge's effective range, offering good ballistic coefficients and velocity stability in most bolt-action and semi-automatic platforms chambered in this caliber.

How long is the California firearm waiting period?

California requires a 10-day waiting period from when DROS is submitted until you can take possession of the firearm. Find gun store Morgan Hill at TacticCAL.
