6.5x55 match ammo?

[DaveMachine]

simple question, who makes it, if anyone.

I was browsing around the WSS website and didn't come across anything.

Lapua

Norma did at one time. FMJ BT.

Try Sellier & Bellot, Igman,and Prvi Partizan.

I think they all produce some FMJ but not sure if its match or not.

"...Sellier & Bellot, Igman,and Prvi Partizan..." None of which is match ammo. If you want match grade 6.5 x 55, you're reloading it. Hornady makes a 140 grain A-Max. Sierra makes several Matchkings in assorted weights.
Lapua does load 'Scenars'. Won't be cheap though. $35.80US per 20 Stateside.

Yeah check the Hornady TAP series.

Norma makes Match 6.5x55 but they're with R Nicholls for candaian distributership and I'm still waiting for an e-mail back from them about local retailers.

 

[DaveMachine]

Ahh, good ole' R.Nicholls

LOL!!! The best way of all, do-it yourself.

How much are you looking for? What's the going price these days for match grade Norma? I have some that I might sell. Not sure how I'd ship it though.

You have to be an above-average reloader to beat Lapua match 6.5X55SE.
Rumour has it they know how to make ammo.

May be true, but at what cost? Maybe he wants to be able to shoot more than once a year

I have promoted reloading for 30 years, as it's the way to go, however, many top shooters buy match ammo to reference their loads. Other winners simply buy match ammo as they don't have time to reload. If you're so poor, you won't be shooting winning kit anyway.

Norma.... 50pcs/box.... about 56$/ box..... Proline shooters in Calgary...
