Overview
This article covers historical HSM item 65CREEDMOOR8N with a 140-grain Hornady SST. The exact SKU is absent from the current HSM 6.5 Creedmoor catalog. The previous article used estimated ballistic values, which have now been removed because the updated protocol requires exact manufacturer data.
Official Ballistics
No exact-SKU official ballistics table is available. The historical item number 65CREEDMOOR8N is not present in the current manufacturer catalog, and data from a similar current load has not been substituted.
Bullet Design and Intended Use
The historical product description identifies a 140-grain Hornady SST polymer-tipped boat-tail hunting bullet. Without a current HSM exact-SKU listing, muzzle data, ballistic coefficient, trajectory, and wind drift are not treated as verified.
