The Norma TipStrike 6.5 Creedmoor 140gr delivers controlled expansion and deep penetration for medium to large game hunting. This premium hunting ammunition combines polymer tip technology with a bonded core design to maintain weight retention while creating devastating wound channels.
What Makes This Different
TipStrike ammunition features a unique polymer tip that initiates rapid expansion upon impact while the bonded lead core prevents fragmentation. Unlike standard cup-and-core bullets that can separate on heavy bone, the TipStrike maintains 95% weight retention through tough hide and muscle. The streamlined ballistic tip reduces drag for flatter trajectories compared to traditional soft-point designs.
Key Features
- 140-grain bonded polymer tip bullet for controlled expansion
- 6.5 Creedmoor caliber optimized for long-range hunting
- Boat-tail design reduces drag and wind drift
- Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and aid extraction
- Muzzle velocity of 2,625 fps delivers 2,141 ft-lbs energy
- 20 rounds per box for extended hunting sessions
- Premium powder charges ensure consistent velocities
Field performance shows excellent accuracy potential with sub-MOA groups achievable in quality rifles. The 140-grain weight provides optimal sectional density for the 6.5 Creedmoor, balancing velocity retention with energy transfer on game from whitetail deer to elk. Weather-sealed primers and cases perform reliably in wet conditions and temperature extremes.
