Winchester Match 6.5 Creedmoor

[Southern Mex]

To all my amigos that shoot the 6.5 Creedmoor. It looks like Midway is going to have this ammo in shortly.

Whats the grain and BC?

The Midway page said 140 grain Sierra MatchKing, not 142. When I went to Sierra's web site and found the BC listing for the 140 grain SMK, it seems less appealing than the 142 grain.

For the 140, they listed:
.535 @ 2800 fps and above
.526 between 2800 and 2000 fps
.521 @ 2000 fps and below

For the 142, they listed:
.595 @ 2850 fps and above
.580 between 2850 and 2400 fps
.575 between 2400 and 2050 fps
.550 @ 2050 and below


I hope that helps.

Thanks. Just seeing how they compared to the Amax.

You're welcome.
Yeah, based on the BC values, it seems the Hornady may be a better choice. I'd pick a 142 SMK over the 140 SMK. That much is certain.

wonder why they didn't go with the higher bc 142 since this is match ammo
