History of 6mm Creedmoor Ammo

The 6mm Creedmoor is the brainchild of PRS competitor and outdoor columnist, John Snow. After the insane success of the 6.5 Creedmoor on the precision rifle scene, Snow kicked around the idea of necking down the cartridge to accept a smaller 6mm projectile. He experimented with some hand loads, had a custom rifle built for them, and then wrote about it for Outdoor Life.

Hornady, always looking for the next big step in cartridge innovation, saw Snow’s write-up and decided to run with it. The company released the first factory ammo shortly after Snow’s article ran in August 2010. Ruger was also Johnny-on-the-spot and released their famous Precision Rifle chambered for the new 6mm Creedmoor.
