Hornady Offers Videos on New Products
Hornady has released more than a dozen new products for 2008. Of particular interest to precision shooters is the new 6.5 Creedmoor Cartridge, while game hunters should check out the new 300/338 RCM cartridges.
Hornady has collected information on all its new products on a 2008 Product Web Page. On that page you can find photos and specifications, along with streaming Videos for each of the new products. If you’re a high power or cross-course shooter, definitely check out the new 6.5 Creedmoor Cartridge. The 6.5 Creedmoor was designed to allow any shooter to compete at the highest level with factory-loaded ammunition. Built for match rifles, including the Tubb 2000 and DPMS LR Series, its case is slightly shorter than the 260 Remington, eliminating any “Cartridge Overall Length” issues when using 308 Winchester length magazines. Velocities match or exceed the 6.5×47 Lapua with similar-weight bullets.

A match cartridge that is factory loaded only? Not for me. I can buy brass and handload with enough left over to pay my match fees. For the WELL HEELED, maybe, but thats not the average match shooter. Every dime counts. Give me Chambering reamer geometry, brass and dies. I’d rather do it myself. Greg H.
EDITOR: Greg, Hornady WILL offer 6.5 Creedmoor brass for handloaders, and the 120 A-Max and 140 A-Max bullets are also available for purchase. All these products should be hitting the market within a few weeks. Hornady’s factory load uses Hodgdon H4350 powder (same as you can buy) so you can duplicate the factory loads.
