The 6.5 Creedmoor was designed as a competitive cartridge for precision rifle shooting. With the introduction of two new Hornady loads, the 6.5 Creedmoor is now a serious hunting cartridge.
Hornady is now offering 6.5 Creedmoor loads with the 120 grain GMX bullet and with the 129 grain SST bullet. Hornady states the 6.5 Creedmoor loads are “perfect for any North American game up to and including elk.”
Delivery of the new rounds is expected around March of 2010.
The 6.5 Creedmoor loads are part of Hornady’s new Superformance line of ammunition. The Superformance ammo promises to improve velocities by 100-200 fps without an increase in recoil, muzzle blast, or other typical side-effect.
