Hornady has announced its new 25 Creedmoor. Recently SAAMI accepted, the 25 Creedmoor continues the legacy of the Creedmoor family of cartridges. Consumer ammunition offerings will feature bullets selected to deliver exceptional performance for hunting and long-range shooting applications.

“The 25 Creedmoor is the end result of our constant pursuit of maximizing ballistic potential.” said Jayden Quinlan, senior ballistician at Hornady. “This cartridge fills that competitive niche between 6mm and 6.5mm—providing shooters the absolute best blend of moderate recoil, flat trajectory, and superior wind resistance,” he added.

By utilizing modern design methodology, the 25 Creedmoor is the first SAAMI accepted 25-caliber cartridge that was explicitly designed to take full advantage of the sleek, low-drag bullets that are now available.

“Variants of the 25 Creedmoor have existed in the wildcat space for quite some time and for good reason. It gives the discerning shooter a competitive advantage. Now we can offer that same level of performance to the shooter with factory ammo offerings.” said Quinlan.

The 25 Creedmoor will be available in the following product lines:

  • ·25 Creedmoor 128 gr. ELD-X Precision Hunter
  • ·25 Creedmoor 134 gr. ELD Match
