Frequently Asked Questions
Winchester 6.5 Creedmoor Ammo 140 Grain
Is 140 grain good for 6.5 Creedmoor?
Yes, 140 grain is the most popular bullet weight for 6.5 Creedmoor. It balances velocity, high ballistic coefficients, and manageable recoil well. Loads like the Hornady 140 ELD-M perform reliably for deer-sized game and long-range target shooting out to 1,000 yards.
How much does a 140 grain 6.5 Creedmoor drop at 1000 yards?
A 140 grain 6.5 Creedmoor typically drops around 285 inches at 1,000 yards, assuming a 100-yard zero and standard conditions. Exact figures vary based on muzzle velocity, ballistic coefficient, altitude, and temperature. Consult a ballistic calculator with your specific load's data for precise results.
Is Winchester Ballistic Silvertip discontinued?
Winchester Ballistic Silvertip rifle ammunition is not discontinued — it is still produced and sold today, including in calibers like .308 Winchester. What Winchester discontinued between 2008 and 2010 was the original "old gray box" Silvertip bullets. Winchester also continues to produce Silvertip handgun rounds.
Is Winchester Silvertip any good?
Winchester Silvertip gets mixed reviews. The 9mm rounds feed reliably but are considered outdated compared to modern hollow points like Federal HST or Speer Gold Dot. Rifle versions perform adequately on medium game. Expect to pay around $30 per box. It works, but better self-defense options exist today.
What is the difference between ballistic tip and ballistic silvertip?
Ballistic Tip and Ballistic Silvertip are nearly identical in construction. The Silvertip version features a silver-colored polymer tip and Winchester's Lubalox coating, a black oxide finish that reduces barrel fouling. Both bullets perform similarly on game; the coating and cosmetic differences are the primary distinctions.
