Sellier & Bellot 6.5mm Creedmoor 156gr SP Ammo Bullet Drop and Load Data
Product Overview
Imagine a 6.5 Creedmoor load that thinks it's a .300 Win Mag. That's exactly what Sellier & Bellot has created with their 156-grain soft point offering. This heavyweight contender tips the scales well above typical 6.5mm projectiles, yet still screams downrange at 2444 fps. With 2069 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, you're looking at the kind of punch that makes elk hunters grin and brush hunters nod in approval.
When the rubber meets the road, this load's exceptional sectional density becomes your secret weapon. That extra-heavy bullet drives deep through thick hide and heavy bone, creating reliable wound channels where lighter projectiles might struggle. For anyone who's ever tracked a blood trail through dense timber or needed complete penetration on quartering shots at mature bulls, this soft point's ability to punch through to vital organs is worth its weight in gold.
This isn't your typical deer load - it's specialized medicine for serious big game pursuits. The heavy bullet weight maintains stability in crosswinds that would push lighter projectiles off course, while that traditional soft point design ensures controlled expansion without fragmentation. Perfect for those who hunt where the animals are big, the brush is thick, and the shots might stretch past comfortable ranges. Pack this ammunition when you're headed after bull elk in dark timber or moose in alders - just be ready to field dress something substantial.
Pros and Cons
Advantages
- Heavy 156-grain bullet drives deeper through dense muscle and bone, particularly valuable for larger game at moderate ranges
- Straightforward soft point design handles brush deflection better than more complex projectiles
- Generates substantial knockdown force without the harsh recoil of maximum-velocity loads
- Practical accuracy sweet spot aligns perfectly with typical hunting distances of 50-300 yards
Disadvantages
- Steeper trajectory arc requires more holdover adjustment beyond 300 yards compared to faster loads
- Basic aerodynamics make it more susceptible to crosswinds than polymer-tipped alternatives
- Moderate velocity might limit expansion in some hunting scenarios where speed drives terminal performance
