Description
6.5 Creedmoor 140 Grain Berger VLD-Hunting~Ā TheĀ 6.5mm Creedmoor, designatedĀ 6.5 CreedmoorĀ byĀ SAAMI,Ā is aĀ centerfireĀ rifleĀ cartridgeĀ introduced in 2007Ā as a modification of theĀ .30 TC,Ā which was based on theĀ .308 Winchester. It was designed specifically forĀ long-range target shooting,Ā although it is also achieving success inĀ gameĀ hunting.Ā Bullet for bullet, the 6.5mm Creedmoor achieves a slowerĀ muzzle velocityĀ than longer cartridges such as theĀ 6.5-284 NormaĀ orĀ magnum cartridgesĀ such as theĀ 6.5mm Remington Magnum. However, due to its 2.825 inches (71.8Ā mm)Ā overall length, it is capable of being chambered in short-actionĀ bolt-action riflesĀ andĀ AR-10Ā semi-automatic rifles.
Long-range shooter Ray āRayDogā Sanchez summarized theĀ bolt-actionĀ Tubb 2000Ā rifle in 6.5mm Creedmoor as āboringly accurateā at 1,000 yards (910Ā m). He asserted the rifle and ammunition combination he used was able to maintain sub-MOA groups at 1000 yards.

The Berger VLDĀ Hunting bullet line features Very Low Drag (VLD) bullets that have the highest possible ballistic coefficient designed for 300 yards or more, the design incorporates a sharp nose that allows the bullet to penetrate 2ā³ to 3ā³ before it starts to expand. After the initial expansion, the bullet will shed between 40% and 85% of its weight as shrapnel into the surrounding tissue (internal organs). The combination between the shrapnel and the hydrostatic shock produces a massive wound cavity within the vital area that will be 13ā³ ā 15ā³ long. This massive wound cavity results in the animal dropping fast since most go into shock after such a tremendous blow. Those animals that donāt go down immediately will soon succumb to blood pressure loss and/or organ failure producing a quick ethical kill.
