6.5 Creedmoor – 140 gr SP – Sellier Bellot (SB65C) – 500 Rounds

The 140 grain bullet is the heavier standard for the 6.5 Creedmoor, favored by hunters who want more penetration on larger deer. This listing is Sellier & Bellot 6.5 Creedmoor 140 grain soft point ammo, MPN SB65C, sold as 500 rounds for hunting clubs, ranches, and hunters who want a deep supply of one affordable hunting load.

Sellier & Bellot rates this load at 2,658 fps with 2,195 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The soft point bullet has an exposed lead nose that expands on impact while the jacket controls the rate of expansion and helps hold the bullet together. The heavier 140 grain weight carries momentum well and resists wind better than lighter 6.5 bullets, which helps at longer hunting distances. This is a hunting load for deer, hogs, and similar game, not a match or self defense round.

This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, including the Ruger American and Hawkeye, Savage 110 and Axis, Tikka T3x, Bergara B-14, Browning X-Bolt, Winchester XPR, Howa 1500, Remington 700, and AR-10 style rifles in 6.5 Creedmoor. A common question is whether 140 grain or 131 grain is better for deer. Both work, but the 140 grain bullet carries more weight for larger deer and longer shots, while lighter bullets shoot slightly flatter. Another common question is whether 6.5 Creedmoor can be fired in a 6.5×55 Swedish rifle. No. Despite the similar bullet size, the cases are very different.

Sellier & Bellot SB65C is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the Czech Republic. It uses reloadable boxer-primed brass cases and non-corrosive primers. This listing contains 25 boxes of 20 rounds for 500 total from one lot, so you can practice in the summer and hunt in the fall with identical rounds. Confirm your zero at 100 yards and check drop at your longest expected shot distance.
