Hornady hasn’t just given their “American Gunner” line of ammunition a patriotic name. They have also designed it for superb functionality with any firearm that can chamber it. Whether your 6.5mm Creedmoor rifle is semi-auto, bolt, or something else altogether, this ammunition will fully meet your expectations for target shooting or varmint hunting.

This cartridge’s 140 grain boat tail hollow point isn’t designed for expansion. Its striking energy alone is enough to quickly banish any varmint, although it won’t inflict the wide wound column that is desirable for toppling large game. The BTHP’s strong suit is its aerodynamic efficiency, which it achieves thanks to its angled base, sleek frontal profile, and expertly drawn and thoroughly concentric jacket. Hornady captured the bullet’s 2,690 fps muzzle velocity and .580 G1 BC with the aid of a 24” barrel, and reports 1,773 ft lbs striking energy at 200 yards. With 1.5” sight height, drop at 300 yards equals approximately -8.1”.

Hornady’s Nebraskan-made 6.5 CM ammo features reloadable brass cases, and comes packaged in a convenient plastic box that keeps its contents dry in the field and remains useful long after it has been emptied the first time.
