RWS 6,5 x 55 DK 9,1g 20pcs

The 6.5 x 55 is definitely a fast cartridge with extended trajectory. Its internal precision is excellent and as a hunting cartridge it is optimally suitable for all medium-sized, but also for lighter red deer and wild boar. 

With the 8.2 g RWS cone-point bullet or the 9.1 g RWS twin-core bullet, it becomes an all-round cartridge for hunting. Today, it is internationally very popular, in particular as a hunting and sport-shooting cartridge for distances of up to 300 m. 

Its history: In the year 1894, the 6.5 x 55 became the ordinance cartridge in Sweden and Norway. 

The twin-core projectile consists of two lead cores with different hardness and a Tombak jacket. The harder tail core has an additional tough Tombak jacket separating it from the softer tip core. The core weight ratio is 50:50. A tail groove at the rear end of the projectile reliably bonds the tail core with the external jacket. A second groove in the front section forms the sharp rim (impact location hair) and is also the specific breaking point for the front jacket of the projectile. This is an important point for the tearing away of the otherwise obstructive projectile flares. This design ensures a straight shot channel for the important exit hole.
