Starline 6.5 Creedmoor Brass
Now that Starline is in the bottle-necked rifle brass business, they’re cranking out new cartridge offerings faster than we can keep up with them. Their newest addition, 6.5 Creedmoor brass, adds another popular round to Starline’s growing line-up of high quality rifle brass, and is available at half the price of comparable quality cases. The 6.5 Creedmoor was designed as a target round in 2007 by Hornady, and has also become an extremely popular hunting caliber. It isn’t as long as other 6.5 short-action calibers, but it utilizes a 30° shoulder and very little body taper to help it achieve similar ballistics. Almost every major rifle company now offers either a bolt-action or MSR in 6.5 Creedmoor. It’s available with a Large Rifle Primer pocket, which is standard for the cartridge, which many shooters and hunters prefer. Most target shooters prefer Small Rifle Primers for increased consistency and accuracy. Contact Starline Brass, Dept OT; Tel.: (660) 827-6640; Web: www.starlinebrass.com
