Product Overview
Sometimes the classics just work better. Sellier & Bellot's 6.5mm Creedmoor 140gr SP combines time-tested engineering with modern ballistic performance. Launching at 2658 fps with a hefty 2195 ft-lbs of knockdown power, this round proves you don't need fancy polymer tips or marketing hype to get results. The traditional soft point design harks back to when ammunition was judged by performance in the field, not laboratory numbers.
Take this load into thick timber after mature bucks or set up on an elk trail - you'll appreciate how that robust soft point drives through brush and bone without deflecting. The controlled expansion creates devastating wound channels without excessive tissue damage, meaning more meat in your freezer. That 140-grain projectile hits the perfect balance point, heavy enough for reliable terminal effect but not so heavy it sacrifices vital velocity at range.
Beyond the hunting fields, this ammunition pulls double duty as a serious training round. European manufacturing precision means you're getting consistent performance at a price point that encourages regular range sessions. Whether you're preparing for hunting season or fine-tuning your distance shooting, these rounds deliver the kind of predictable accuracy that builds genuine confidence. After all, there's something satisfying about watching simple, well-engineered ammunition print tight groups on paper or ring steel at distance.
- Soft point design strikes an effective balance between range practice and hunting duties, saving money on specialized loads
- Traditional bullet construction delivers predictable expansion without the complexity of polymer tips
- Middle-ground velocity creates comfortable recoil while maintaining enough punch for clean harvests
- Performs particularly well in brush country where basic projectile design proves surprisingly effective
- Basic aerodynamics show their limits past 400 yards where wind drift becomes more pronounced
- Exposed lead tip can deform during rough field handling, potentially affecting accuracy
- Lacks the refined precision of purpose-built target rounds in competitive settings
