Berger Match Grade Ammunition 6.5 Creedmoor 140 Grain Hybrid Target Hollow Point 20RD
Berger Match Grade Ammunition in 6.5 Creedmoor is built for shooters who demand consistency and accuracy at distance. This 140-grain Hybrid Target load combines Berger's proven bullet design with match-grade components—a premium case, temperature-stable powder, and large rifle primer—to deliver the tight groups and reliable performance you need for long-range precision rifle work, whether you're chasing competition gold or fine-tuning your rifle on the range.
The 140-grain Hybrid Target Hollow Point is one of Berger's top-tier competition bullets, engineered with an optimized hybrid profile and a J4 Precision Jacket for exceptional concentricity and balance. That high ballistic coefficient (G1 BC of 0.607, G7 BC of 0.311) means superior downrange energy and less wind deflection—critical advantages when you're stretching shots past 500 yards. The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge itself is built smart: it lets you load longer, heavier bullets further out of the case without sacrificing magazine compatibility on most standard platform rifles, so you get excellent velocity and performance in a compact package.
Each box of 20 rounds ships with a published muzzle velocity of 2,850 fps and muzzle energy of 2,525 ft-lbs, with a maximum cartridge overall length of 2.825 inches. This ammunition is optimized for rifles with a 1:8" twist rate or faster. If you're serious about precision shooting and want a proven long-range round that performs across competitive and hunting applications, Berger Match Grade deserves a place on your bench.

Frequently Asked Questions
What twist rate rifle do I need for the Berger 140-grain 6.5 Creedmoor?
This load is optimized for rifles with a 1:8" twist rate or faster. If your barrel has a slower twist (such as 1:9" or 1:10"), you may experience stability issues downrange.

Can I use this ammo in a standard magazine-fed rifle?
Yes. The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge is designed to load longer, heavier bullets further out of the case while still feeding reliably from most standard magazines, so you get excellent velocity without sacrificing magazine compatibility.
What are the ballistic coefficients?
The 140-grain Hybrid Target bullet has a G1 BC of 0.607 and a G7 BC of 0.311. The G7 form factor is 0.923. These high values mean superior downrange performance and less wind drift at distance.
