“Tag: Creedmoor”

Here are four of the many reasons to hate the 6.5 Creedmoor.

Contributor Dennis Bradley compares the .243 Winchester and 6mm Creedmoor, in an effort to dispel a few popular myths surrounding the "inherent accuracy" of certain cartridges.

The 6.5 Creedmoor makes for an excellent hunting cartridge for almost all game south of elk and moose. There’s something to be said for a short, efficient case for someone who shoots often and at high volumes, and the 6.5 Creedmoor is definitely that.

With a sleek bullet, both cartridges maintain over 1,000 ft.-lbs. of energy out the 500-yard mark, and both offer a trajectory any hunter can quickly adapt to. What makes or breaks the deal in choosing one over the other? Contributor Philip Massaro takes closer a look at the pros and cons of each.

The 6.5 Creedmoor is an exceptional choice for big-game hunters, especially those who want a mild recoiling round that can stretch the distance if necessary. Here’s a look at nine of the best big-game loads for the 6.5 Creedmoor.

HSM Ammunition has engineered a low-recoiling variant of 6.5 Creedmoor ammo, with full, 140-grain hunting bullets.

Using a 105-grain Berger Hybrid bullet—with the famous J4 jacket, known for its concentricity—the new Federal 6mm Creedmoor Gold Medal load will have steel singing in the next zip code with no issues at all.

SIG Sauer has announced that it has added 6.5 Creedmoor to its SIG HT line of premium-grade rifle ammunition.

If the two cartridges deliver the same velocities and both will fit in a short-action magazine, which makes the most sense for the hunter choosing a 6.5mm rifle? Contributor Philip Massaro examines the pros and cons of each.
