Norma Whitetail 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser Ammunition 156 Grain Soft Point - 20166622

The NORMA Whitetail 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser 156gr Ammunition is a distinguished choice for hunters and competitive shooters alike. Originally designed by a Norwegian and Swedish military commission in 1894, this cartridge has become a beloved standard in Scandinavia for both hunting and sport shooting. Its enduring popularity is due to its effective all-around performance, mild recoil, and ability to deliver deep penetration with moderate velocity. Whether you're aiming for small game like the roe deer or larger targets such as moose and caribou, this ammunition ensures a quick and humane kill with minimal meat damage. It's an essential choice for mixed European hunting conditions, offering exceptional accuracy across various game sizes.

Features and Specifications:

  • Performance Metrics: Offers moderate velocity and a long bullet for mild recoil and deep penetration.
  • Versatility: Adequate for all game from grouse to moose, making it suitable for mixed European hunting.
  • Ammunition Design: Provides options for heavier bullets (140 - 160 grains) at maximum velocity for larger game like moose.
  • Platform Compatibility: Perfect for standard competition shooting and hunting applications in Scandinavia.

Deep Dive

Overview

The NORMA Whitetail 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser 156gr Ammunition is meticulously engineered for hunters who demand performance across various game types. Its moderate velocity combined with long, heavy bullets results in mild recoil, contributing to its reputation for accuracy, manageable shooting experience, and effective game management. Whether hunting roe deer or larger game such as caribou and moose, this ammunition's design ensures a clean, humane harvest with minimal meat loss.

History and Development

Contrary to popular belief, the 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser was developed by a joint commission from Norway and Sweden rather than the Mauser company. Since its adoption in 1894 as the standard military cartridge for both countries, it has established itself as a mainstay in hunting circles for over a century. The cartridge's design is ideal for diverse hunting environments, allowing flexibility in applications from sport shooting to large game hunting. Its enduring appeal across Scandinavia and in international circles is a testament to its effectiveness and adaptability.
