Product Overview
Sig Sauer Elite Performance 80-grain Solid Copper is a copper-bullet 6mm Creedmoor load made for hunting, with no game class named for it. There is no lead in the bullet at all, only a copper hollow point. It leaves the muzzle at 3,375 fps with 2,025 ft-lbs and a G1 BC of .340.
Zero it at 200 yards and it drops 5.6 inches at 300 and 16.6 inches at 400, arriving with 923 ft-lbs. From a 100-yard zero the drop at 400 is 21.0 inches.
If you're cross-shopping, Hornady's Superformance 90-grain CX is the other copper load, 50 fps slower at the muzzle on a G1 BC of .418, and from a 200-yard zero it drops 15.8 inches at 400 with 1,174 ft-lbs. Hornady's Precision Hunter 103-grain ELD-X is the lead-core hunting load in the caliber, and Hornady's V-Match 80-grain ELD-VT is the target load at this bullet weight.
- No lead core, so it is legal where lead-free ammunition is required
- The fastest start in the caliber
- The least estimated recoil of the hunting loads in the caliber
- The lowest G1 BC in the caliber, at .340, so it sheds speed fastest past 300 yards
- Arrives at 400 yards behind Hornady's Superformance CX, which gets there with more energy
- The lightest hunting bullet in the caliber, where Hornady's Precision Hunter ELD-X is the heavy end
