Ammo 6.5 Creedmoor 143 Gr ELD-X (4 Pk) Precision Hunter - 80 Rounds in Field Box
Nothing exemplifies that better than this round’s 143 grain Extremely Low Drag eXpanding projectile. Here is a bullet with every bell and whistle that improve accuracy which Hornady has at their disposal. The ELD-X’s secant ogive profile, tapered base, concentric AMP jacket, and sharp polymer tip all all accentuate the bullet’s ballistic coefficient to a towering 0.625. Better yet, the Heat Shield tip can’t warp no matter how furiously air friction might cook it, so it remains sharp and centered no matter what.
The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 6.5 Creedmoor was introduced by Hornady in 2008. Uniquely, it was designed for accuracy with long-range competition in mind. Using a 308 Winchester (30 TC, 300 Savage) case shortened to 1.920 inches, it will feed through the shortest existing bolt actions, but remains supersonic to well beyond 1000 yards. Standard velocity is a 140-grain .264-inch bullet at 2820 fps, also making it an effective but mild-recoiling medium-range hunting cartridge. The 6.5 Creedmoor was introduced with little fanfare, but after it started winning matches shooters took notice. This is an unusual phenomenon for a cartridge to suddenly "take off" years after its introduction, but that's the story of the 6.5 Creedmoor--after about 2016 it became one of the most-talked-about cartridges, with both rifle and ammunition offerings expanding rapidly.
