6.5 Creedmoor – 140 gr HPBT – Hornady American Gunner (81482) – 500 Rounds

If you shoot 6.5 Creedmoor at the range often, buying 50 round boxes in a bulk case is the most economical way to keep a quality load in your rifle. This listing is Hornady American Gunner 6.5 Creedmoor 140 grain hollow point boat tail ammunition, MPN 81482, sold as a 500 round case. American Gunner is packed 50 rounds per box, so a single case covers a season of practice, matches, and long range training without constant reordering.

The 140 grain hollow point boat tail bullet is chosen for accuracy and long range performance. Its boat tail base and efficient profile give a high ballistic coefficient, which means less wind drift and drop at distance. Hornady rates this load at 2,690 fps with 2,249 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, and lists a ballistic coefficient of .580 and a sectional density of .287. Those numbers are why the 140 grain weight is the benchmark bullet for 6.5 Creedmoor shooters working at extended ranges.

This ammo fits any rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, including the Ruger Precision Rifle, Tikka T3x, Bergara B-14, Savage 110, Browning X-Bolt, and 6.5 Creedmoor AR-10 pattern rifles. It is intended for target shooting, long range practice, and training. A common question is whether a hollow point boat tail is a hunting bullet, and this load is primarily a target and training round, so choose a dedicated hunting bullet for game. The 500 round case is ideal for high volume shooters and precision rifle competitors.

Hornady American Gunner 81482 is made in the USA and is new production ammunition, not reloads. Each cartridge uses a new brass case with a boxer primer, and the load is non-corrosive, so normal cleaning is all your rifle needs. The boxer-primed brass is reloadable and a popular source of cases for handloaders. This case comes in factory packaging as 10 boxes of 50 rounds for a total of 500 rounds of 6.5 Creedmoor.
