The 6.5 Creedmoor is one of the most popular cartridges of this decade.
Accuracy, long range capability, and modest recoil have made it a top
choice for long range competitors. Those same attributes make it
popular for hunters.
Black Hills Ammunition is offering another great new 6.5 Creedmoor
hunting bullet for 2021, the 130 grain Dual Performance. Think a monolithic copper projectile, carefully designed and precision CNC machined for great performance at all reasonable hunting ranges. This is a versatile, purpose built hunting projectile that reliably performs on longer shots but still provides sufficient penetration on close shots that might present themselves. This bullet is designed to do both- expand upon impact,
creating a large wound track plus penetrate deeply, thus the name Dual Performance. Upon impact the bullet expands quickly; the petals then fracture and continue to penetrate, cutting through the stretched and stressed tissue for fast, humane kills. Adequate penetration is assured
by the solid copper shank of the projectile, retaining a uniform weight,
which then continues on to a depth of up to 27”. Velocity is 2800 fps
from a 22” barrel.
If you have discovered the 6.5 Creedmoor, and are looking for the right
load to be your hunting partner, try the 130 grain Dual Performance
from Black Hills.
