With the Creedmoor’s dominance in the competitive shooting world its popularity has naturally crossed over to the precision-minded long range hunter. The 6.5 Creedmoor loaded with the Lapua 140 grain / 91 g Naturalis bullet provides a lead-free alternative for markets where traditional lead-bullets are not permissible. Designed and manufactured from pure copper the Naturalis is nearly unbreakable in construction and often retains 100% of its original weight. The Naturalis uses stateof-the-art technology to produce consistent controlled expansion and optimum “mushrooming” at the widest velocity range on the market. Find your shot with the new 6.5 Creedmoor offering loaded with leadfree Naturalis 140 grain bullets.

The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
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. —
