20 Rounds of 120gr GMX 6.5 Creedmoor Ammo by Black Hills

Black Hills’ minutia has made them a preferred ammunition supplier to both the U.S. Armed Forces and industry-leading firearm manufacturers alike. But they up the ante even higher when they craft their Gold label ammo. This 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge features the finest brass, primer, and propellant Black Hills can source, and has passed the strictest ballistic testing and inspection protocol criteria they could come up with.

For this round’s bullet Black Hills chose the 120 grain GMX by Hornady. It’s a 100 percent copper bullet, at once compliant with lead bans, clean shooting, uniformly dense for heightened in-flight stability, and highly resistant to fragmentation as it retains as little as 95 percent of its weight throughout penetration. The GMX’s ballistically efficient polymer tip also promotes massive expansion as it wedges into the bullet’s hollow point nose cavity beginning at the moment of impact. With such remarkable weight retention accompanied by up to 1.5 times expansion, the GMX truly does make short work of a buck.
