20rds – 6.5 Creedmoor Winchester Expedition Big Game Long Range 142gr. AccuBond LR Ammo Details

Winchester opted in favor of accuracy over brevity when they named their “Expedition Big Game Long Range” line of ammunition. This is indeed the 6.5 Creedmoor ammo you need when you’re embarking on an adventure in search of large trophies!

This cartridge is outfitted with another American manufacturer’s bullet: the AccuBond Long Range by Nosler. The shape of the 142 grain projectile’s tangent jacket profile promotes optimal alignment with the barrel’s rifling. Its polymer tip assures smooth chambering, sharpens the bullet’s frontal profile, prevents damage to the bullet while it is subjected to recoil in the magazine. The AccuBond LR’s jacket and core both possess superlative balance, and its boat tail diminishes drag so it can fly flatter and strike harder. These features combine to give the projectile a 0.634 G1/0.319 G7 ballistic coefficient, which is sufficient to keep its trajectory supersonic until nearly 1,400 yards.

The AccuBond LR is engineered to expand at very low velocities. It should undergo terminal expansion following impact at 1,300 fps, which makes this round’s effective range approximately 1,180 yards. The bullet’s jacket and core are fully bonded to one another to ensure effectively deep penetration. Its thin jacket mouth, deep nose cavity and polymer tip work together to maximize energy transfer and wound channel diameter. All in all, quite the effective package.

This ammunition is loaded with nickel-plated brass cases. The sleek coating smooths out feeding and extraction in hunting rifles, and also resists corrosion while you’re traversing damp and humid terrain. This ammo is Boxer-primed and reloadable.
