I'm guessing an algorithm decided this price based on inventory, availability, etc. I wonder if a real person even knows that's what it's listed at.

A aboltfan Campfire Regular aboltfan Campfire Regular A Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 2,140 Mass. and Miss. A couple of months ago a bunch of us bought that ammo, can't believe they still have it in stock. I bought two cases myself. Having a case of Norma 120gr. Bt and these two, I found I didn't need to handload either. I sold my uprimed brass. The 140 Partiion load was very close to advertised velocity and shot sub inch groups from my Tikka.

Using a Pact chrono at 12ft. that load went 2671 fps. The listed velocity on the box is 2690 fps. I got 3/4 inch groups. These were shot through my T3. I bought two cases and I'm trying hard to talk myself out of buying another one.

Just for the heck of it, I checked the Nosler load data. https://www.nosler.com/65-55-swedish-mauser Seem like the Norma ammo is loaded to a decently strong load level.

Norma - loads to the C.I.P. 55K PSI, unlike the pathetic American (SAAMI) 51K PSI. Results in ~ an extra 150 fps, and puts it on par w/ the 6.5 CM. And if Norma uses their own load tables? ... could be 47.4 grns. of MRP. GR

Norma - has dumped their American bullet lines, like this 6.5x55 SE Partition load, so it's showing up at liquidation prices. 2.
