Overview

---

The 6.5mm Creedmoor, is a centerfire rifle cartridge introduced by Hornady in 2007 as a modification of the 6.5 Carcano and the .30 TC, and is based on the .308 Winchester. The cartridge was designed specifically for long-range target shooting, although it has success in game hunting and more recently it has found itself being adopted by various special operations communities due to its extreme accuracy and good effect on target.
