Hornady’s American Gunner line of ammunition is comprised of versatile cartridges that deliver big no matter how you’d implement them. This 6.5 Creedmoor round is perfect either for target shooting or varmint banishment thanks to its 140 grain BTHP projectile. The bullet’s tapered base improves its ballistic coefficient to give it amazing accuracy, as well as the ability to keep its velocity after having flown great distances and resist the detrimental influence of cross winds. This bullet’s narrow hollow point tip further streamlines its profile to make it accurate enough to pierce a rabbit’s ears from hundreds of feet away. Top it all off with a select brass casing, and you’ve got a real tack driver.
According to its manufacturer, this cartridge’s 140 grain BTHP projectile delivers a 2,690 fps muzzle velocity out of a 24" barrel and retains a 1,972 fps velocity at the 500 yard mark. Given that, Hornady calculates the round’s G1 ballistic coefficient at .580. According to our calculations we expect the bullet to rise by about 5.79 inches when zeroed in at 300 yards. Its velocity should stay supersonic until around the 1,342 yard mark, and its energy should stay in four digit territory until 640 yards.
These 200 rounds come packed in a rugged and reusable field box. Its tackle box-like handle makes it incredibly convenient for lugging around ammo, and its latch seals the box tightly to keep water from harming its valuable contents.
