Originally designed by Hornady® as a true match cartridge, the 6.5 Creedmoor is an exceptional choice for all LE/Military applications where the 308 Win had been the only option in the past. 6.5 CREEDMOOR 140 GR. (9,1 g)TAP® HEAVY BARRIER™ NO. 81485 | Application: Heavy Barrier This load meets the FBI Protocol penetration requirement (305–457 mm) through heavy barriers (25 mm laminated glass, 38,1 mm Lexan and 15,9 mm subway glass) with high weight retention. Featuring different tip geometry than TAP Precision® ammunition, this offering is loaded in a nickel- plated cartridge case making it easy to distinguish heavy barrier ammunition from other ammunition options. NOTE: Not recommended for use where over-penetration may be a concern. 6.5 CREEDMOOR 147 GR.
