6.5 Creedmoor is a modern centerfire rifle cartridge designed for accuracy and long-range performance with relatively mild recoil. It has become very popular for target shooting and hunting.

6.5 Creedmoor is a short-action cartridge that fires aerodynamic, high-ballistic-coefficient bullets, giving it a reputation for excellent accuracy and good performance in wind at distance. It generally produces lighter recoil than larger magnum hunting cartridges, which many shooters find easier to shoot well. Ammunition has become widely available since the cartridge rose in popularity, though it can cost more than older, high-volume cartridges. It is commonly used for precision and long-range target shooting and for medium-game hunting. It suits target shooters and hunters who prioritize accuracy and a flatter trajectory with manageable recoil.
