History of 6.5mm Creedmoor Ammo


This weekend marked the 15th anniversary of the release 6.5mm Creedmoor Ammo.

The 6.5mm Creedmoor is touted by some shooters to be at the top of the ladder when it comes to an all-purpose cartridge.

Testing ensued and in 2007, Hornady debuted the new caliber at the SHOT Show. The 6.5mm Creedmoor was intended to be a “do-anything” cartridge, a concept that intrigued competition shooters and created more than its share of skeptics.

Early devotees adopted the magazine-sized cartridge and began using it in competition with great success. Hunters tested it in the wild and quickly learned that the caliber could be effective against big game, a fact that surprised even the most hardcore skeptics.
