Description
Hornady BLACK 6mm Creedmoor is built for shooters who run modern sporting rifles and want a single load that performs consistently from the bench to the field. The 105-grain boat-tail hollow point bullet is a purpose-built match projectile: the boat-tail base reduces drag as the bullet transitions from the muzzle, helping it resist wind deflection at the distances where 6mm Creedmoor earns its reputation. At a muzzle velocity of 2,960 fps, the load carries enough retained energy at extended range to remain effective on target without overcooking recoil on the shooter’s end.
The BTHP construction matters for a specific reason: unlike a polymer-tipped bullet that depends on a tip for ballistic coefficient, a hollow-point boat-tail achieves its aerodynamic efficiency through jacket geometry alone. That makes terminal behavior more predictable across a range of impact velocities, which is useful when the same box of ammunition might see both 100-yard range work and longer field shots. Hornady uses a brass case with Boxer priming, so spent brass is straightforward to reload if you’re working up a precision load for a specific rifle.
With a ballistic coefficient of 0.53, the 105-grain projectile handles wind calls more forgivingly than lighter, lower-BC options commonly loaded in this caliber, which becomes a meaningful practical difference as ranges stretch past 500 yards. Twenty rounds per box keeps the package compact for range sessions, and cases pack ten boxes for those stocking in volume. This is a load that rewards a shooter who has already dialed in their rifle and wants ammunition that won’t introduce variables.
