I’ve noted a few member comments about having trouble finding “good” ammo in this caliber, and I just got this in an email;

Norma 6.5 Creedmoor - 143GR Golden Target Hollow Point - HPBT - Brass Case - 20rd Box

I hope this is of interest to you precision LR rifle shooters.

@racer88 and @Caleb i think they both need this caliber. Bit more than a buck a pop ain’t bad either.

Thanks for thinking of us!

I've never shot that ammo. I've heard of Norma, of course. But, I have not heard about that specific cartridge in the context of precision shooting.

My rifle likes Hornady ELD-M 140, Federal Berger GMM 130, and Berger Match Grade Hybrid Target 140.

So, I'm sticking with those. When it's not cheap, and the goal is precision... I'm not looking to experiment with something "new" to me.

I’ve shot and still have plenty of Norma ammo. No worries on that.
Price is cheapest I’ve seen on 6.5 in a long time. Can’t hurt to order a couple boxes and at least maybe broaden your rifles preferences?

No. I know that Norma is a good / quality company. I don't know how this particular cartridge will shoot in my rifle. That IS a good price for match grade 6.5CM. I will research it a bit. It is tempting!

Yes I have. No problems

Even cheaper here...

NORMA 6.5 CREEDMOOR GOLDEN TARGET MATCH 143GR BTHP – 200 RDS – AB Guns

abguns.com

But, I don't know this merchant, either.

The ammo gets pretty good reviews on Snipers Hide.

Home page says they are a true brick and mortar store. I like they have business hours and a real phone number one can call. Can’t hurt to try. Probably open now for weekend. See what you see?
I’ve never heard of them but google maps does show their store.

I've ordered from them a few times, the last time s few weeks ago for a case of reman 9mm 115gr ball for $0.25/round ($264 shipped, IIRC). Ordered on a Friday and arrived the following Wed.

May order some of this Norma Match 6.5 CM to see how my rifle likes that ammo compared to ELD Match 140 gr.

Interesting that Target Sports USA has ZERO 6.5 CM ammo... of ANY kind.

Most likely because they are one of it not the most popular sites and well known.
They don’t have any .357,.44 or .45 colt either and haven’t had any in a while. My SAA needs food…

Mmm-kay... that didn't help at all. Did you read it? They say it ranks 100 / 100 (excellent)... BUT.... it implies there are complaints... and doesn't give any details.

It was the first one that popped up when I googled ‘ab guns reviews’.
There are others as well as reviews on ammoseek for them. But I don’t have an acct there to see them.
Just tying to help. As I said I like they are a real store and have a real phone number you can call. Might make you feel more at ease?
What I didn’t see when I googled reviews was a bunch of links that said they are bad.

If you guys order…… grab me a 100rds. Will have to try it out before buying bulk for myself. But, maybe we can all pitch in on one bulk order?

A few posts on Sniper's Hide claim they're getting 0.4-0.6 MOA, but another poster reported getting pretty impressive results at 620 yards but the next outing at 900 yards, he had three blown primers.

I've got 200 rounds in my cart but haven't committed yet. . .still considering if I'd like to try and see if my rifle tolerates it nearly as well as it likes Hornady 140 gr ELD Match. I could add 5 more boxes to make it a three amigo buy if Racer wants some, too to see if his RPR likes it.

Ha! I did the exact same thing... 200 rounds in my cart but didn't pull the trigger, yet.
