HSM 6.5×284 Norma ammunition (part no. 65×284-5-N) loads a 140-grain SST for big-game hunters who want confirmed, repeatable terminal performance. HSM hand-loads short production runs using premium bullets from Hornady, Sierra, and Berger rather than mass-producing generic projectiles. The Super Shock Tip triggers reliable expansion on contact while its secant-ogive profile keeps the trajectory flat at extended range. Cased and 20 to a box, it is built to feed reliably through bolt guns and semi-autos chambered for the cartridge. In our rifle ammunition lineup, this 6.5×284 Norma loading is a confirmed, dependable choice worth adding to the cart.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 6.5×284 Norma, a long-range target and hunting cartridge built on the .284 Winchester case, popular in F-Class and PRS competition.
• The bullet weighs 140 grains, setting the balance of velocity and downrange energy this load is tuned for.
• The bullet is a SST, the projectile HSM chose to load behind 6.5×284 Norma.
• The Super Shock Tip triggers reliable expansion on contact while its secant-ogive profile keeps the trajectory flat at extended range.
• Each box holds 20 rounds, enough to confirm zero and still have rounds on hand.
• A case ships 25 boxes (500 rounds total), ideal for stocking up or buying once for the season.
• At about $3.08 per round, the price reflects the bullet construction loaded into this round.
• The secant-ogive nose profile is also what gives the SST a notably high ballistic coefficient for its weight class, helping it buck wind better than a traditional round-nose or spire-point bullet.
