Bulk 6.5 Creedmoor Projectiles

ninosdemente · July 31, 2019, 09:00 PM

I came across these Hornady Projectiles for 6.5 Creedmoor 140gr: https://www.midsouthshooterssupply.c...atch-500-count

I have not loaded these yet, but have already but 4 boxes for testing. Was looking to get for general shooting for others. Although won't get free shipping with them + with tax... seems like they are cheaper than Brownells and MidwayUSA.

Unless some have other sites that offer better deals from what I was able to find. Don't have gr preference but at other lower grains, these were better priced. Thanks a mil.

Let us know how they shoot. My current .260 barrel hates anything except 123 SMK's but I have a spare that likes 140's. Post some range pics when you get a chance if they shoot decent. I bought 1000 140 gn Nosler "seconds" a few years back and they were the best bullets that I ever shot in 6.5

While i haven't tried these in 6.5, i did use the 105gr 6mm bullets. Shot nice out of my wife's Rossi R243.
I think you'll be happy with them.

Thanks guys. Was looking for smaller grains but as mentioned, more so at least got more grains and better pricing. Eventually will know how they work.

Slightly more expensive per bullet, but a guy at the range recommended these to me and I've been impressed with them. They actually shoot better than the Hornady ELD-X bullets and are a fair amount cheaper.

I have had good results with 140 grain Barnes Match Burners too. Almost as good of performance as Sierra MK. Match Burners give 1/2” groups at 100 yards in my 6.5 Creedmore.

I bought some Barnes TSX hunting bullets but now you guys have talked me into trying some of their match burners now.

Thanks for that link jmr40, keeping a grip on trying not to get those as well.... hahaha. Maybe I should get a box of 100 for testing.

Barnes has .264 Match Burners in 120 grain also. Midway should carry them, or you could check at Grafs.
