6.5 Creedmoor 120-grain solid-copper Super Match Ammo
New Products - July/August 2024
6.5 Creedmoor 120-grain solid-copper Super Match ammo with brass cases sourced from Alpha Munitions utilizes high muzzle velocities and high ballistic coefficients to achieve shorter times of flight, flatter trajectories, and less wind drift compared to other match bullets on the market. The new 6.5 Super Match’s advancements in internal ballistics come from patented side geometry that allows for less friction in the barrel, resulting in faster muzzle velocities at SAAMI standard pressures and lower barrel temperature during a firing string. These properties are enhanced by metallurgy selection of the of all-copper G9 Super Match bullets. The projectile features multiple bands machined into its side, which decreases bearing surface and pressures without diminishing ballistic coefficient.
This new bullet is an all-machine-turned solid copper or brass projectile that offers significant improvement in consistency over traditional jacketed lead bullets, which often have minor inconsistencies in density. By machine turning the projectiles G9 produces a round with a lower standard deviation of ballistic coefficient than any other method of production. At extended ranges, a low standard deviation in BC is more meaningful than standard deviation in muzzle velocity, resulting in higher accuracy at extended ranges. The cartridge also benefits from optimized case head design (OCD) of the brass cases manufactured by Alpha Munitions. SRP: $45.99, 20-count box. (g9defense.com)
