DESCRIPTION
Hornady Precision Hunter 6.5 Creedmoor 143 Grain ELD-X ammunition is built around Hornady’s ELD-X hunting bullet with its patented Heat Shield tip. The tip is designed to resist deformation caused by aerodynamic heating, helping maintain a consistent meplat and aerodynamic profile during flight.
The 143 grain ELD-X combines a streamlined secant ogive, optimized boat tail, and concentric AMP bullet jacket for accurate downrange performance. This 6.5 Creedmoor load produces a muzzle velocity of 2,700 fps and muzzle energy of 2,315 ft-lbs., with a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.620.
