TIPSTRIKE is constructed with a thin jacket and an aerodynamic polymer tip that ensures rapid expansion upon impact. But fast expanding, aggressive bullets always run the risk of delivering its energy too early in the game, due to thick skin, bone or other hard penetrating obstacles, TIPSTRIKE is constructed with a unique lead-lock that offers reliable penetration all the way into the vital organs of the animal.
It’s the perfect knock-down bullet for fast shots and moving targets. The first hand choice for driven hunts and other challenging hunting situation.

About the caliber
This 6.5mm variant is quite a new development, created in 2007 by a cooperation between Hornady and Creedmoor Sports and was designed as a long range target shooting cartridge. The 6.5mm bullet has long been known to be an excellent long range bullet, as the projectiles have good sectional densities and ballistic coefficients and the 6,5 Creedmoor has become very popular for long range hunting. The case is on the shorter side so it can be chambered in a short action rifle.
