Product Overview
Hornady's American Gunner 140-grain is a hollow point boat-tail 6.5 Creedmoor load made for target shooting. Hornady loads a match hollow point with a boat tail. It leaves the muzzle at 2,690 fps with 2,249 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .580.
Zeroed at 100 yards, it drops 13.9 inches at 300 and 30.8 inches at 400. From a 200-yard zero it drops 23.0 inches at 400, and it is still moving at 2,107 fps there.
If you're cross-shopping, Hornady's 147-grain ELD Match carries a higher G1 BC of .697 and from a 100-yard zero drops 29.4 inches at 400. Federal's American Eagle 120-grain OTM starts 210 fps faster and kicks about 20 percent less in the same rifle.
- Still moving at 2,245 fps at 300 yards
- A higher G1 BC than Hornady's 120-grain ELD Match and Federal's American Eagle 120-grain OTM
- Loses 583 fps between the muzzle and 400 yards
- The most drop at 400 yards of the match loads it sits against, from either zero
- The slowest at the muzzle of the match loads it sits against
- Hornady names hunting and self-defense alongside target shooting for the American Gunner line, but the bullet is a match hollow point
