This 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition’s not for mucking around behind the 100-yard line. It’s Winchester’s competition-grade Super Match ammo. Choose it when you want to reach as far as the 6.5 CM will let you!
This round’s bullet is right up there in weight: 140 grains, which supplies the momentum you’ll need to overcome wind drift. The hollow point bullet’s sleek frontal profile and long boat tail help it reduce drag, remain balanced, and otherwise behave like a proper long-distance target bullet ought to. And Winchester’s match-grade primers? They’re just further guarantee of precise, repeatable shots.
What kind of long-distance performance are we talking about, here? To illustrate, consider these data calculated using Winchester’s reported 0.291 G7 BC and 2,710 fps muzzle velocity (24” test barrel):
0yds: 2,710 fps | 2,283 ft lbs | -1.5”
100yds: 2,557 fps | 2,033 ft lbs | 4.6”
200yds: 2,409 fps | 1,804 ft lbs | 5.3”
300yds: 2,265 fps | 1,595 ft lbs | 0.0”
400yds: 2,126 fps | 1,406 ft lbs | -12.1”
500yds: 1,992 fps | 1,234 ft lbs | -31.8”
600yds: 1,862 fps | 1,078 ft lbs | -60.4”
Word to the wise: the HPBT’s not a hunting bullet. Its jacket’s too weak. Its nose cavity’s not there to provide expansion. If you want 6.5 CM deer loads, avoid hollow points altogether.
