Something I didn’t follow up on enough at the SHOT Show is Hornady’s new 6.5mm Creedmoor:

From Hornady:
The 6.5 Creedmoor was designed to allow any shooter to compete at the highest level with factory-loaded ammunition. Built for match rifles, including the Tubb 2000 and DPMS LR Series, its case is slightly shorter than the 260 Remington, eliminating any “Cartridge Overall Length” issues when using 308 Winchester length magazines.
It’s going to run about $1.60 per round. Here are the numbers:

Wow that would be a sweet replacement for the 5.56 used in the military. Looks like it fly flat and retains a lot more energy.
