S&B 6.5 Creedmoor TXRG 7.8 g is a lead-free hunting cartridge loaded with a solid-copper bullet. Its 120-grain boat-tail projectile has a blue polymer tip that supports controlled expansion while providing a streamlined aerodynamic profile. Suitable for use Rifles chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor Hunting where permitted by current regulations Areas requiring lead-free hunting bullets Hunters who prefer monolithic copper projectiles Short- and medium-range hunting Firearms specifically approved for 6.5 Creedmoor Why choose S&B 6.5 Creedmoor TXRG 7.8 g? Lead-free solid-copper bullet 7.8 g / 120 gr bullet weight Blue polymer tip supports expansion Aerodynamic boat-tail design Muzzle velocity of 869 m/s Muzzle energy of 2945 J G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.414 20 cartridges per box Technical specifications Calibre: 6.5 Creedmoor Bullet type: TXRG Bullet construction: Solid copper, polymer tip and boat-tail base Bullet weight: 7.80 g / 120 gr Lead-free bullet: Yes Ballistic coefficient: G1 0.414 / G7 0.208 Complete cartridge weight: 21.9 g Cartridge length: 71.80 mm Estimated power factor: 342.1 kgr·fps +P loading: No Test-barrel length: 550 mm Ballistic data Muzzle: 869 m/s and 2945 J 100 m: 794 m/s and 2461 J 200 m: 723 m/s and 2041 J 300 m: 656 m/s and 1679 J 400 m: 593 m/s and 1370 J The figures were obtained with a 550 mm test barrel. Actual velocity, energy and trajectory may differ in the firearm being used. Trajectory reference Manufacturer-published points of impact with a 100 m zero: 50 m: –0.7 cm 100 m: 0.0 cm 200 m: –10.6 cm 300 m: –40.0 cm 400 m: –92.3 cm The manufacturer-calculated MRD is 177 m. MRD trajectory figures: 50 m: +1.2 cm 100 m: +3.8 cm 200 m: –3.1 cm 300 m: –28.7 cm 400 m: –77.2 cm Packaging Cartridges per box: 20 Boxes per shipping case: 12 Cartridges per shipping case: 240 Box dimensions: 171 × 82 × 31 mm Approximate box weight: 0.55 kg Approximate shipping-case weight: 6.9 kg Frequently asked questions Does the TXRG bullet contain lead? Sellier & Bellot describes the projectile as lead-free and made from solid copper. The official product page does not specify the complete composition of the primer. What is the benefit of the boat-tail base? It reduces aerodynamic drag around the rear of the bullet and supports velocity retention. Actual trajectory must still be confirmed in the individual rifle. How does it differ from the 9.1 g FMJBT load? TXRG is an expanding solid-copper hunting bullet. FMJBT is a non-expanding, jacketed lead-core bullet intended for training and competition. The two loads have different purposes. Can it be used in a 6.5×55 SE rifle? No. The 6.5 Creedmoor and 6.5×55 SE are dimensionally different and are not interchangeable. Must the rifle be re-zeroed after changing ammunition? Yes. Point of impact should be checked whenever bullet weight, construction or ammunition lot changes. Recommended products S&B 6.5 Creedmoor FMJBT 9.1 g S&B 6.5 Creedmoor HPBT 9.2 g S&B 6.5 Creedmoor SP 9.1 g Targets and shooting rests Rifle-cleaning equipment Hearing and eye protection When is S&B 6.5 Creedmoor TXRG 7.8 g the right choice? This load suits hunters who require a lead-free controlled-expansion bullet and prefer a 120-grain monolithic copper design. According to the manufacturer, it retains 723 m/s and 2041 J at 200 metres. An SP load may suit users who prefer a conventional jacketed lead-core bullet. FMJBT and HPBT ammunition are primarily intended for training, competition or precision target shooting. Expert recommendation When changing from lead-core ammunition to a monolithic copper bullet, clean the bore according to the firearm manufacturer’s instructions and test accuracy from a clean barrel. Deposits from different bullet and jacket materials can affect some rifles. Re-zero the rifle with the TXRG load and confirm the actual point of impact at the distances intended for use. Always follow current requirements concerning the target species, bullet construction and retained energy. A lead-free 120-grain 6.5 Creedmoor hunting load S&B 6.5 Creedmoor TXRG 7.8 g combines a solid-copper bullet, polymer tip and boat-tail base with a muzzle velocity of 869 m/s. It is a practical option for hunters seeking a lead-free controlled-expansion load.
