6.5x55 bullet confusion

[AzMaN 0]

I brought a 6.5x55 off a freind a few months ago that previously belonged to another member of a club who unfortunatly passed away. my friend has shot a few of these rounds but never reloaded them but i have the previous owners reloading data.

 

on the paper i have 139gr Lapua bullets and these look like FMJ yet when i look on midway and suchlike i can only find 139 in hollow point which i assume as i dont have expanding ammunition on my ticket i cant buy.

 

 

any suggestions???

so i would assume that as midway say

 

Lapua Scenar Bullets 264 Caliber, 6.5mm (264 Diameter) 139 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point Boat Tail Box of 100

Designed for long range and bench rest shooting, Scenar bullets were used to set a world record perfect score in the 300 meter Moscow championship match. Factory testing has resulted in 10-shot groups that averaged 50mm at 300 meters.

 

 

 

then these would be able to be brought on a normal ticket. although that still dosnt help the fact that the ones i have currently loaded dont look like hollow points and i cant find them on any sites. looks like i may have to start from scratch.

scenar heads have a very shallow hollow and sharp tips you may already have what youve seen advertised.the 338 are like that.

Hi Match ammmo for benchrest/target shooting do not need to be added onto your FAC you can buy them over the phone & posted to your door or that used to be the way.
