6.5 Creedmoor 140 gr CX™

Item #81485

Featuring inherently high Ballistic Coefficient (BC) 6.5mm bullets that also deliver high Sectional Density (SD), the 6.5 Creedmoor provides superior external ballistics and shootability with comparable terminal ballistic performance to that of the venerable 308 Winchester. Originally designed by Hornady® as a true match cartridge, the 6.5 Creedmoor is an exceptional choice for all LE/Military applications where the 308 Win had been the only option in the past.
