>>AKA Small Primer 6.5
Creedmoor
>>1.908 - 1.912 O.A.L.
>>This is our Small Rifle
Primer version of the 6.5
Creedmoor.
>>The 6.5 Creedmoor was
designed as a target calibre
in 2007 by Hornady but has
become an extremely popular
hunting calibre as well. While
it isn't as long as some of
the other 6.5 calibre short
action calibers, such as the
.260 Remington, the Creedmoor
utilizes a 30deg shoulder and
very little body taper to help
it achieve similar ballistics.
>>The shorter length also
gives it more versatility as
far as bullet seating depth is
concerned. Almost every major
rifle manufacturer offers
either a bolt-action rifle or
a modern sporting rifle in 6.5
Creedmoor calibre due to its
versatility and inherent
accuracy.
Many target shooters prefer
the Small Primer for the
increased consistency and
accuracy. While other small
pocket manufacturers use a
smaller than standard flash
hole, Starline uses our
standard .080" flash hole, as
we feel that it gives better
ignition with some of the
slower powders and in colder
conditions (and you won't be
breaking off decapping pins
either!)
>>The Small Primer version
also maintains primer pocket
size much better than the
large primer version under
higher pressures.
