Description
Hornady's 6.5 Creedmoor unprimed brass gives you a clean, consistent starting point for building your own loads. These are brand new cases, never fired, made with the same attention to detail that goes into Hornady's factory ammunition. If you've spent any time at the reloading bench, you know the case does a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to accuracy, and this brass is built to pull its weight.
What Sets This Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor Brass Apart
Every case is measured for tight wall concentricity, which keeps the bullet seated straight in both the neck and the chamber. That consistency translates to a more uniform release of the bullet on firing, and it's a big part of what gives you repeatable velocities down range. Hornady also holds uniform case wall thickness, something benchrest crowd has leaned on for years when chasing tight groups. The cases run through a pressure calibration check so expansion stays predictable from one piece to the next.
Getting the Most From Your 6.5 Creedmoor Cases
These take a large rifle primer, so pair them with your preferred primer, powder, and bullet combo and you're off. Because the lots are held to such tight standards, you'll find cases that behave virtually identical from box to box, which cuts down on sorting and prep time. Many reloaders also report getting more firings per case thanks to the quality of the brass, so your component dollars stretch further over the life of the batch.
Keep in mind this is a component for reloading and not loaded ammunition. You'll still want to prime, charge, and seat a bullet before anything goes near the range. For anyone running a 6.5 Creedmoor bolt gun or gas gun who wants a reliable base for precision handloads, this brass is a solid, no-nonsense choice. Made in the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor brass primed or does it come as loaded ammunition?
This is new, unprimed brass, so it is a component for reloading and not loaded ammunition. You'll need to add your own primer, powder charge, and bullet before it's ready to shoot. It's intended for handloaders building their own 6.5 Creedmoor cartridges.
What size primer does the Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor brass take?
These cases are set up for large rifle primers. Just match that to your load data when you start building your rounds.
Can I get multiple reloads out of this brass?
Yes. Hornady holds its cases to tight tolerances with uniform wall thickness and consistent capacity, which generally supports more firings per case than commodity brass. How many you get depends on your load pressures and how carefully you prep and anneal between firings.
Will these cases work in a gas gun as well as a bolt action?
This brass is made for the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge and works in both bolt guns and semi-autos chambered for it. Keep in mind that gas guns can be a bit harder on brass, so tailoring your load and case prep accordingly helps extend case life.
