Premier Series – 6.5 Creedmoor 135gr A-Tip
Who Is Premier For?
Premier isn’t for the shooter who’s content to dump rounds and settle for “good enough.”
Premier is for the hunter or marksman who demands precision—the one who respects the process, understands the difference, and won’t compromise when it matters.
If you’re preparing for a once-in-a-lifetime hunt or working a precision rifle to its full potential, this is the load you want. Every round is crafted with a level of care no mass-produced ammo can match. Hand-loaded. Lot-matched. Accuracy-tested. Premier is for shooters who expect more.
Projectile Details
This offering is built around the 135gr Hornady A-Tip® Match—a true elite projectile designed for both competition and hunting use. Its aluminum tip moves the center of gravity rearward for greater in-flight stability and improved accuracy. The A-Tip also features:
-
DVRT™ (Drag Variability Reduction Technology): Reduces drag variation at long range
-
AMP® Jacket: Exceptionally concentric and uniform for consistent performance
-
Radar-verified BCs: G1 = 0.637, G7 = 0.321
Whether you're punching steel or taking ethical shots at game, this bullet performs—flat, fast, and true.

Velocity Chart
All testing was conducted through suppressed rifles at 70°F. The 30°F velocities shown below are calculated using our in-house velocity modeling tool, which factors in barrel length, powder temperature sensitivity, and data from our extensive internal testing library. While these outputs are highly accurate for comparative planning, it is still strongly advised to chronograph your ammo to capture true platform-specific performance.
| Barrel Length | Velocity @ 70°F (fps) | Velocity @ 30°F (fps) |
|---|---|---|
| 16" | 2660 | 2636 |
| 18" | 2710 | 2686 |
| 20" | 2770 | 2745 |
| 24" | 2830 | 2805 |
How These Velocities Are Calculated: Our In-House Ballistic Engine
Every velocity you see is generated using our proprietary modeling system built on:
-
Real-world chronograph data from multiple rifles
-
±10 FPS spread per barrel length
-
Powder-specific temperature sensitivity curves
-
Altitude-corrected performance from our West Texas test environment (2,550 ft)
-
Suppressed system tuning
Always chronograph your ammo through your rifle for true real-world results. This approach lets shooters make real ballistic decisions—from DOPE sheets to drop charts—based on more than just guesswork.
