Description

The Sellier & Bellot 6.5 Creedmoor 140gr FMJ is a full metal jacket rifle load for shooters who want range time on a 6.5 Creedmoor without spending it on expanding hunting bullets (brand part no. SB65A). Sellier & Bellot has loaded ammunition in the Czech Republic since 1825, which makes it one of the oldest ammunition makers still operating. The 140-grain bullet is fully jacketed, so it feeds smoothly and stays intact on impact, which suits zeroing, rifle break-in and practice rather than hunting. It comes in the standard 20-round box on a brass case, and S&B also loads 6.5 Creedmoor in soft point and hollow point for hunting, which makes this FMJ the practice version of the line. For anyone shooting a 6.5 Creedmoor for precision practice or hunting-rifle familiarization, it is a straightforward, no-frills choice.

Key Specifications

  • The chambering is 6.5 Creedmoor, one of the most widely chambered modern rifle cartridges for long-range and hunting rifles.
  • The bullet diameter is 6.5mm (.264-inch), the bore size every 6.5 Creedmoor rifle is built around.
  • The bullet weighs 140 grains, the weight most commonly loaded for 6.5 Creedmoor.
  • The bullet type is full metal jacket, which keeps its shape on impact rather than expanding.
  • The case material is brass, which gives handloaders a reloadable case.
  • The case shape is rimless and bottlenecked, a design that feeds smoothly from a box magazine.
  • Each box holds 20 rounds, the standard count for a rifle box.
  • The intended use is range practice and zeroing, since a non-expanding bullet is not built for hunting.
  • The load is made by Sellier & Bellot in the Czech Republic, a maker that has been loading ammunition since 1825.
