G9 Defense’s new 6.5 Creedmoor 120-grain Solid Copper Super Match ammunition with Alpha Brass is used in rifle projectiles intended for target, competition, and training applications. MSRP: $46 per 20 rounds.
This new bullet is an all machine-turned solid copper or brass projectile that offers significant improvement in consistency over traditional jacketed lead bullets, which often have minor inconsistencies in density. By machine turning the projectiles, G9 produces a round with a lower standard deviation of ballistic coefficient than any other method of production. At extended ranges, a low standard deviation in BC is more meaningful than standard deviation in muzzle velocity, resulting in higher accuracy at extended ranges.
The new round utilizes high muzzle velocities and high ballistic coefficients to achieve shorter times of flight, flatter trajectories, and less wind drift compared to other match bullets.
The new 6.5 Super Match’s advancements in internal ballistics come from patented side geometry that allow for less friction in the barrel, resulting in faster muzzle velocities at SAAMI standard pressures and lower barrel temperature during a firing string.
The projectile features multiple bands machined into its side, which decreases bearing surface and pressures without diminishing ballistic coefficient.
The Alpha Munitions brass has an Optimized Case Head Design (OCD) that exceeds performance standards typically associated with cases.
