The Norma Dedicated Hunting EVOSTRIKE 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition is engineered for hunting small to medium game where explosive terminal fragmentation and rapid energy transfer are required. Loaded with a 93-grain lead-free projectile, this cartridge achieves a muzzle velocity of 1,010 m/s (3,314 fps) and delivers 3,060 Joules (2,267 ft-lbs) of muzzle energy from a 610 mm test barrel. The bullet features a dual-core tin construction, utilising a pre-fragmented front core with radial perforations to initiate instant expansion on impact alongside a solid tin rear core designed to maintain momentum for deep penetration. A nickel-plated jacket reduces friction and barrel fouling across high-volume field use.

Key Features

• Dual-Core Tin Bullet: Combines a hollowed polymer tip and pre-fragmented tin front core with a solid tin-locked rear core to produce violent hydrostatic shock while retaining baseline straight-line penetration.
• Lead-Free Construction: 100% non-toxic composition ensures full compliance with lead-restricted hunting zones and public land environmental mandates.
• Flat High-Velocity Trajectory: Pushes a 93 gr projectile at 1,010 m/s (3,314 fps) with a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.317, supporting a recommended Most Recommended Distance (MRD) zero of 200 m (219 yds).
• Nickel-Plated Jacket: Protects rifle barrel bores from excessive copper fouling and friction across standard 6.5 Creedmoor centerfire chambers.
• Premium Reloadable Brass: Boxer-primed, high-grade brass casings manufactured to precise dimensional tolerances for consistent cycling and handloading.

Who is the Norma EVOSTRIKE 6.5 Creedmoor 93gr for?

• Small to Medium Game Hunters — requires the extreme hydrostatic shock of a 93-grain dual-core projectile travelling at 3,314 fps to deliver instantaneous knockdown on light-framed pests and game such as foxes, feral goats, and pigs out to a 200 m (219 yds) zero.
• Hunters in Lead-Restricted Zones — provides a completely non-toxic 6.5 Creedmoor hunting ammunition solution that achieves 100% lead-free compliance while maintaining an aerodynamic 0.317 G1 ballistic coefficient for predictable exterior ballistics.

Less suitable for: Large, heavy-boned game such as sambar deer or large red stags where high-fragmentation light projectiles lack the mass for deep bone penetration; heavier bonded lead core bullets or heavy monolithic solid-expansion hunting rounds are better suited for heavy game hunting.
