Tested: Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor

Originally developed as a precision rifle cartridge for the relatively small across-the-course competition market, Hornady’s 6.5 mm Creedmoor is now one of the most popular chamberings for the American sportsman. Light on recoil, yet dominant at long range, the 6.5 Creedmoor is an ideal loading for both novice shooters and expert marksmen.
