At present the Creedmoor name has been most recently applied to a new rifle cartridge, the 6.5mm Creedmoor (6.5×48 mm).  This cartridge was introduced by Hornady Company in 2007 and is proclaimed to be designed for long-range target shooting. The 6.5mm Creedmoor is a medium-power cartridge comparable to the .260 Remington and 6.5×47mm Lapua.  The name Creedmoor simply implies it is a cartridge for precision long distance shooting, however, as stated earlier there is no specification defined for what ammunition may carry the Creedmoor name.  It is entirely a contemporary marketing term.At present the Creedmoor name has been most recently applied to a new rifle cartridge, the 6.5mm Creedmoor (6.5×48 mm).  This cartridge was introduced by Hornady Company in 2007 and is proclaimed to be designed for long-range target shooting.
