Norma 6.5 Creedmoor 140gr Tipstrike

Norma 6.5 Creedmoor 140gr Tipstrike

This 6.5 Creedmoor variant was created in 2007 in cooperation between Hornady and Creedmoor Sports and was designed as a long range target shooting cartridge. The 6.5mm bullet has long been known to be an excellent long range bullet, as the projectiles have good sectional densities and ballistic coefficients. Therefore, the 6.5 Creedmoor has become very popular for long range hunting. The round can be chambered in a short action rifle.

The Tip Strike is a polymer-tipped projectile that was developed to give a good combination of stopping power with deep penetration. Put simply; the tip causes the expansion when striking the desired target and, to maintain a high weight retention, the jacket is reinforced with a mechanical lock. The bullets are flat based, and the tip is slightly flattened off, unlike similar designs other manufactures produce.
