Sellier & Bellot 6.5 Creedmoor 140 Grain FMJBT – 20 Rounds
$18.85Manufacturer Sellier & Bellot Condition New Bullet Weight 140 Grain Bullet Type Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail (FMJ-BT) Use Type plinking at the range Casing Type Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 6.5mm Creedmoor Manufacturer SKU SB65A Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 754908512553 Cost Per Round 94.2¢ per round This is an affordably priced 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge from Sellier & Bellot, although its attractive price tag certainly doesn’t denote some deficit in its accuracy. It’s outfitted with a 140 grain projectile, which is jacketed with a copper alloy that is highly resistant to cracking or deformation. That enables it to keep its streamlined form under the heavy pressures it’s exposed to during ignition. This bullet’s jacket encompasses even its base, which is angled into a boat tail. The bullet’s tapered base measurably improves its ballistic coefficient to improve its accuracy, so this round’s as poised to let you win a match as it is to let you make the best of your time while you’re perforating very distant targets.
Its Czech manufacturer gave this round a factory fresh brass casing, which is more than worthy of multiple reloads. Its Boxer primer is non-corrosive, and its propellant is clean burning -- together they’ll keep your rifle more accurate longer in between cleanings. -

Sellier & Bellot gave each round a 140 grain soft point bullet, good for everything from whitetail to hogs to coyote. Its copper alloy jacket promotes proper penetration at close to medium range, and its lead core will fan out to help you make a cleaner kill. A soft point bullet isn’t the most expensive hunting bullet you could invest in, so you won’t kick yourself for firing a few of these rounds at things that aren’t made of meat.
If you’re on Wideners, you’re probably at least acquainted with Sellier & Bellot. As the world’s oldest continually operating ammo manufacturer, they’ve certainly gotten around, and they’re getting more and more popular in our country. (That’s a good country to be a popular ammo manufacturer in.) Their bag of tricks includes a fine brass casing that plays nice with any rifle, clean burning primers and propellant, and a quality assurance department that doesn’t miss a thing. -

It fires a 140 grain soft point bullet at a muzzle velocity of 2,657 fps, which is conventional for that weight. This bullet’s copper-zinc alloy jacket is hard enough to prevent rapid barrel leading, as well as to inhibit deformation and promote penetration through any number of hides. With enough oomph behind it, the bullet’s exposed core will deform, topple around, and otherwise do things that you wouldn’t want to happen near any of your vital organs. Have them happen to a buck’s vital organs instead!
We’ve always been impressed by just how well Sellier & Bellot knows their business. You get a lot of consistency for a good price from the old Czech manufacturer, so these rounds have got excellent brass casings, clean burning primers, and charges that produce a consistent muzzle velocity. Handy things to have on hand for most any kind of hunting. -

Sellier & Bellot 6.5 Creedmoor 131 Grain SP – 20 Rounds

Say no more, say no more! This cartridge is made in the Czech Republic by Sellier & Bellot, and it is loaded with the tried and true yet not overly sophisticated soft point projectile.
This round’s 131 grain SP operates on a simple principle: When the exposed lead in its nose meets resistance from soft tissue, it forces the bullet to mushroom outward while tumbling about inside said soft tissue. The SP’s copper alloy jacket is nonmagnetic, tough enough to ensure smooth feeding and deep penetration, and concentric enough to deliver good accuracy (0.389 G1 BC). The low-drag projectile reliably retains over 1,000 ft lbs of energy at 400 yards. Watch out Mr. Deer.
You can also employ this ammo for dehoggulation purposes, and it makes a fine solution for training the same way you would hunt at the range. Sellier & Bellot has spent nearly 200 years honing their production protocol. Their virgin brass cases and non-corrosive Boxer primers make their ammo both reliable and reloadable. -
Hornady American Whitetail 6.5 Creedmoor 129 Grain InterLock – 200 Rounds
$264.85Manufacturer Hornady Condition New Bullet Weight 129 Grain Bullet Type Soft-Point (SP) Use Type hunting whitetail deer Casing Type Brass Quantity 200 Ammo Caliber 6.5mm Creedmoor Manufacturer SKU 81489 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 10090255814894 Cost Per Round $1.32 per round This 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge by Hornady is just what your next deer hunting trip calls for, because it sports a 129 grain InterLock projectile. The bullet offers more reliable terminal performance than you’ll ever see from a conventional soft point, because its tapered jacket and inner grooves work together to ensure that devastating expansion always takes place, even at lower velocities. This is a bullet that burrows deeply as well -- its solid one-piece core retains a great deal of mass and doesn’t separate like a divided core would, and its cannelure and InterLock ring secure that core and its jacket tightly together.
The InterLock boasts a very high ballistic coefficient, as its secant ogive profile minimizes the drag that it creates in flight. That translates to a very flat a trajectory, improved resistance to cross winds, and more energy to inflict on impact downrange. With Hornady’s own premium brass casing, carefully formulated and weighed propellant, and sensitive Boxer primer to complement such a fine bullet’s performance, no buck will be outside your grasp. -

Manufacturer Sellier & Bellot Condition New Bullet Weight 156 Grain Bullet Type Soft-Point (SP) Use Type hunting whitetail deer Casing Type Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 6.5mm Creedmoor Manufacturer SKU SB65D Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 754908512621 Cost Per Round $1.29 to $1.34 per round To hunt the deer, you must become the deer. Wear a set of antlers and tape a white glove to your tailbone. But even though a deer would never order this 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition by Sellier & Bellot, we highly recommend that you do.
This round features a classic soft point. It’s nothing fancy because it doesn’t need to be – a soft point reliably expands to register a crippling wound channel, especially with the 6.5 Creedmoor’s power working for it.
This round’s 156 grain bullet leaves a 21.75” barrel at 2,444 fps. It remains just faster than 1,910 fps at 300 yards, at which point it still packs more than enough juice to ethically crumple a whitetail at 1,263 ft lbs. Sellier & Bellot jackets their soft point with a tough copper alloy, so it resists the urge to splinter apart as its exposed core mushrooms outward. You’ll likely find some fragmentation following high velocity impact, but the point is you will find it inside the deer you just put down.
Sellier & Bellot’s nonmagnetic bullet sits on a new brass case, so you can easily get 100 handloads out of this mere box of 20. The Czech producer’s non-corrosive primers won’t turn your rifle to rubbish if you don’t clean it out with hot water.Customer Reviews

Worked in Africa and on Whitetail

Decided to use this ammo on a Safari to South Africa. Tested it on a Missouri Whitetail prior to Safari. Dropped everything I shot, the Zebra and Kudu were the only animals that went about 40 yards before collapsing.

Hornady American Whitetail 6.5 Creedmoor 129 Grain InterLock – 20 Rounds
$27.85Manufacturer Hornady Condition New Bullet Weight 129 Grain Bullet Type Soft-Point (SP) Use Type hunting whitetail deer Casing Type Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 6.5mm Creedmoor Manufacturer SKU 81489 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 090255814897 Cost Per Round $1.39 per round Make the outcome of this coming deer season a sure thing with a round designed solely for bagging bucks. This American Whitetail 6.5 Creedmoor round by Hornady showcases its manufacturer’s 129 grain InterLock projectile, a soft point bullet with futuristic features. The bullet delivers outstanding weight retention owing not only to the raised ring inside its jacket from which it takes its name, but also its sturdy one-piece core and shank’s cannelure as well. The fashion in which the InterLock’s jacket is carefully tapered along with the interior grooves which strategically weaken it mean that this is the bullet you depend on to expand at essentially any velocity.
The InterLock boasts a staggering ballistic coefficient because of its secant ogive profile. Its unique geometry lessens the drag it incurs in flight, and in turn improves its downrange velocity, makes it less receptive to wind interference, and noticeably flattens its trajectory to make long shots easier to connect. This round’s brass casing has been selected by Hornady for the uniformity of its dimensions, and its primer is über responsive. -
Federal American Eagle 6.5 Creedmoor 120 Grain TMJ – 20 Rounds
$29.85Manufacturer Federal Condition New Bullet Weight 120 Grain Bullet Type Total Metal Jacket (TMJ) Use Type plinking at the range Casing Type Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 6.5mm Creedmoor Manufacturer SKU AE65CRD3 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 604544665451 Cost Per Round $1.49 per round Federal American Eagle isn’t a match grade label, but this Minnesota-made 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition will still serve admirably during all your target shooting adventures!
This round’s 120 grain total metal jacket is an upgrade from the standard target load’s FMJ. Its lead core is totally enveloped by gilding metal, which prohibits white hot propellant gasses from gassifying any lead during ignition. A TMJ’s base remains undeformed to promote better accuracy, and it will also keep a barrel’s rifling cleaner and more effective at its job. A TMJ will also keep the air surrounding your face cleaner, so your range day won’t have a negative impact on your precious and irreplaceable lung meat.
Federal’s high-quality TMJ teams up with their clean-burning powder and sensitive primer to achieve a muzzle velocity of 2,900 fps and G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.406. The 100-year-old company mints the fine brass cases which cycle and chamber neatly, and which also become perfect for reloading as soon as they’re emptied! -

$29.85Manufacturer Sellier & Bellot Condition New Bullet Weight 142 Grain Bullet Type Hollow-Point Boat Tail (HP-BT) Use Type match or precision shooting, plinking at the range Casing Type Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 6.5mm Creedmoor Manufacturer SKU SB65E Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No Cost Per Round $1.49 per round Looking for precision 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition? Then you’ll definitely want to check out this Czech-made ammo by Sellier & Bellot. It’s loaded with the 142 grain hollow point boat tail you need to put holes through things – things that are very far away!
This round’s bullet has a lead core that perfectly conforms to the interior contours of its jacket. This is because an HPBT’s match jacket is created first and then filled with molten lead. The small opening in the bullet’s tip gave passage to the lead, which is why its base is fully jacketed. Hot propellant gasses cannot evaporate any lead off of the form-fitted lead core, thus preventing any deformation that could have impacted accuracy. The HPBT’s boat tail reduces drag to help the bullet retain more in-flight momentum as well as resist getting blown off-course by crosswinds.
The HPBT will deliver great accuracy – but it will not deliver terminal expansion. If you want to take this ammo hunting, stick to buck-toothed prey and you’ll be all right. Sellier & Bellot’s nonmagnetic bullet is carefully seated in a premium brass case, complete with the high-grade Boxer primer a reloadable round must have. -

You’ve already got an advantage because all he had was a crossbow, but you can hit much smaller fruits than apples with this 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge by Federal. Just don’t position the cherry or blueberry you’ll be shooting at on top your son’s head, for safety reasons.
This cartridge owes its superior accuracy to its 120 grain open tip match projectile. It’s a target bullet with a uniformly distributed core within its jacket, as it settled there while still molten. The open tip match’s virtually perfect balance lets it hold on to its trajectory farther downrange. What you should not expect this bullet to do, however, is expand.
American Eagle’s cartridges are priced well, but as a Federal label they still evince that Minnesotan touch of quality. These rounds have fresh brass casings, sensitive Boxer primers, and propellant that delivers a constant chamber pressure. -
Winchester Match 6.5 Creedmoor 140 Grain BTHP - 20 Rounds

This 6.5mm Creedmoor ammunition is made by Winchester using their own original components; these include reloadable brass casings that have been inspected to ensure consistent outer dimensions and flash channels with correct diameters. Each casing is outfitted with one of Winchester's reliably igniting Boxer primers which lends a spark of flame to a measure of powder that burns efficiently for optimal muzzle velocity. This load profile is finished using a 140-grain BTHP (boat-tail hollow point) projectile.
140 grains is one of the heavier classifications of loads originally developed by Hornady when they invented the 6.5mm Creedmoor caliber; that means that these loads will follow well-established drop tables for easy ranging. BTHP bullets are highly accurate at a distance due to their construction method which calls for feeding lead into a pre-formed copper jacket, resulting in a uniform shape, core density, and overall balance. The tight meplat and tapered rear help resist drag in-flight for remarkable stability all the way to the target.

The round’s 147 grain ELD Match projectile features the Nebraskan manufacturer’s own Heat Shield tip, which shrugs off the effects of aerodynamic heating so that it may always preserve its perfectly symmetrical and pointed meplat. This bullet’s boat tail design improves its ballistic coefficient in order to flatten its accuracy and better immunize it against wind drift, its concentric AMP jacket keeps it stable in flight, and its overall aerodynamics are improved throughout courtesy of its secant ogive profile. Not a piece of this bullet doesn’t convey superior accuracy in some way.
As a Hornady, the rest of this round’s components are top notch as well. Its reloadable brass casing has incredibly uniform wall thickness, its primer is reliable and non-corrosive, and its propellant reliably delivers a fast muzzle velocity of 2,695 fps. Chamber this round and you could very well bring Hornady’s company motto to life: "Ten bullets through one hole." -

They’ve arguably accomplished that feat with this round, which is crowned with a 140 grain ELD Match projectile. The ELD Match’s accuracy is simply astounding thanks to a number of its features, including its Heat Shield tip which resists aerodynamic heating so that it may always keep its perfect shape. This bullet’s ballistic coefficient is heightened substantially by its boat tail design, and its ability to find its target is further strengthened both by its streamlined secant ogive profile and concentric AMP jacket. It’s a fine choice for hunting and competitive shooting alike, making this round a truly versatile investment.
This round’s new production brass casing boasts extremely uniform wall thickness and concentricity, so it delivers reliable performance both inside and out of a rifle. Its clean burning propellant and non-corrosive primer further assure that your action’s and bore’s lifespans won’t be shortened by caustic residues. -

Hailed as an incredibly effective means for all-distance hunting, the ELD-X makes short work of a far away target thanks to its ability to expand tremendously while retaining up to 90 percent of its weight for assured deep penetration. It’s efficacious at taking down nearer game thanks to its InterLock ring, which fights high velocity impact to ensure that it retains no less than half of its weight.
The ELD-X boasts the superior accuracy needed to hunt distant bucks as well. Its boat tail design and secant ogive profile both contribute to its high ballistic coefficient, and the latter additionally grants the bullet a lesser bearing surface. The ELD-X’s AMP jacket lends its great concentricity to the creation a flat trajectory, and its Heat Shield tip will not lose its pointed symmetry in response to aerodynamic heating. This round’s bullet is complemented splendidly by its high quality brass casing, consistent propellant’s performance, and sensitive primer. You’ll be pleased to have a whole case of this exciting ammo poised and ready to go for your upcoming hunts! -

Well, had they seen this 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge from Federal’s Gold Medal label in action, they might just have changed their minds. This round features Berger’s 130 grain Hybrid, an open tip match bullet with a core that has been poured into place within its jacket to give it exceptional stability in flight. The Hybrid blends both tangent and secant ogives so as to make it less sensitive to seating depth and lower its drag, but without suffering from either geometries’ shortcomings. If you’re shooting to impress, you couldn’t choose much better than a Hybrid for the job.
A Gold Medal round has a benchrest quality Gold Medal primer, super responsive to boost accuracy to a fare-thee-well. Federal’s best casing seats this round’s Hybrid with precise flatness, and their propellant ensures stable chamber pressures and muzzle velocities. -

These 200 rounds’ casings are all extremely uniform to one another, and accordingly carry consistent propellant charges and seat their bullets as flat as can be. Their primers are non-corrosive, and their propellant burns exceptionally cleanly as well, so firing a bunch of these rounds won’t cause your rifle’s ability to shoot straight to go south quickly. They’re these rounds’ bullets that make them truly exceptional, however.
The ELD Match always keeps a sharp and even meplat, no matter the temperature that aerodynamic heating cooks it to, because its Heat Shield tip won’t deform or otherwise warp when subjected to dramatic air friction. The ELD Match’s AMP jacket is virtually perfectly concentric, which combined with its uniformly dense core gives it the rotational stability indispensable for straight flight. The ELD Match further boasts an impressive ballistic coefficient, as its secant ogive geometry and narrow base create extremely drag in flight. With so much going for it, there’s little reason to wonder why match shooters so frequently favor the ELD Match. -

The 143 grain bullet features a Heat Shield tip which is virtually immutable by aerodynamic heating, so it will maintain its pointed shape even as it exits your muzzle at a velocity of 2,700 fps. Along with its tip this bullet’s boat tail design, highly concentric jacket, and secant ogive profile work together to create the extraordinarily flat trajectory you need for pinpoint accurate shots.
When this bullet strikes targets at higher velocities, its InterLock ring and thick jacket shank assure weight retention of up to 60 percent. At lower velocities, its polymer tip initiates violent yet controlled expansion along with deep penetration and up to 90 percent weight retention. Its tremendous versatility makes this the round to count on the next time you venture into big buck country. -

Each bullet is mounted in Federal's own reloadable brass casing.
As a Gold Medal standard, each brass casing has been meticulously inspected for a proper flash channel, correct wall thickness, and a flawless shoulder angle. The casing houses clean-burning powder which is ignited by a spark from a non-corrosive Boxer primer. The primer itself is bordered by sealant in its pocket, preventing moisture from resulting in a dud-fire after long bouts of storage or during long-range precision matches that place in humid settings.

Then we’ve got just the 6.5 Creedmoor hunting ammunition for you!
This cartridge’s Terminal Ascent is a true match-accurate bullet. It stirs up minimal drag thanks to its proprietary Slipstream polymer tip and AccuChannel groove technology. Alongside the bullet’s sleek, concentric jacket, those features add up to give the bullet a 0.532 G1 ballistic coefficient. That’s high for a 130 grain 0.2644” bullet, and certain to supply the flat trajectory, great wind resistance and high degree of energy retention that long-range hunting demands.
The Terminal Ascent performs great at close range as well. Its bonded core and jacket stay tightly anchored to each other following high-velocity impact, so the bullet won’t tear itself to shreds before it can arrive at the deadliest depth within a deer. And because the Slipstream will initiate full terminal expansion at velocities 200 fps lower than other similar polymer tipped hunting bullets, you can test out your aim on truly distant trophies.
This ammo’s match grade Boxer primers and clean-burning propellant charges are housed in nickel-plated brass cases. They are reloadable, corrosion resistant and low-friction enough to provide noticeably smoother feeding.
