The Sellier & Bellot 6.5 Creedmoor EDGE (V343022) 120 Grain is a factory rifle cartridge featuring a lead-free, monolithic copper projectile from the eXergy family. Manufactured in the Czech Republic, it combines an overall cartridge length of 71.80 mm with a 120-grain (7.80 g) solid copper bullet designed to maintain near 100% weight retention upon impact. Tested from a 550 mm barrel, the round achieves a muzzle velocity of 858 m/s and 2,871 Joules of muzzle energy. The bullet profile delivers a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.348 and a factory-rated Most Recommended Distance (MRD) of 173 metres, providing flat-shooting performance and deep wound channels without lead fragmentation.

• Monolithic Copper Construction: Solid copper EDGE bullet (profile #9315) ensures controlled petal expansion and deep penetration while eliminating lead contamination in game meat.
• Factory Ballistics: Produces 858 m/s muzzle velocity and retains 1,840 J of energy at 200 m, with a trajectory of +3.8 cm at 100 m and -4.0 cm at 200 m using a 173 m MRD zero.
• Reloadable Components: Assembled in standard Boxer-primed, high-grade brass casings weighing 21.9 g per finished cartridge.
• Standard Chambering: Built to standard CIP specifications strictly for modern repeating and bolt-action rifles chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor.
• Packaging: Supplied in retail packs of 20 rounds measuring 172 mm (L) × 32 mm (W) × 83 mm (H) with a gross box weight of 0.53 kg.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot 6.5 Creedmoor 120 Grain Txrg (Exergy) Cutting Edge Lead Free Ammo 20 Pack for?

• Hunters targeting medium game in lead-restricted environmental zones — complies with non-toxic hunting mandates by utilising a 120-grain monolithic copper projectile that prevents meat contamination while achieving an 858 m/s muzzle velocity for clean harvesting in this 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition category.
• Medium-game hunters pursuing fallow, red, chital, and rusa deer, feral pigs, and goats — delivers 1,840 J of retained impact energy at 200 metres with a factory-calculated 173-metre Most Recommended Distance to ensure reliable petal expansion on mid-sized game.

Less suitable for: Hunters taking game beyond 300 to 400 metres where velocity drops below 609 m/s and limits reliable monolithic copper petal expansion; these hunters are better served by higher-BC, heavier-weight lead-core hunting loads (such as 140–143 grain bonded or ELD hunting cartridges). It is also not compatible with rifles chambered in 6.5×55 SE, 6.5 PRC, or .260 Remington.
