The NRA has received confirmation from Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO)  that, on UK DIO ranges, 6.5mm Creedmoor ammunition shall only be used where 8.59mm ammunition (338 Lapua Magnum) is permitted. Club RCO’s must check range standing orders as part of the shoot planning/range recce process and ensure compliance.

NRA advises operators of private ranges (as defined at NRA Handbook para 108b) to check the limitations applicable to their ranges and ensure that all firearm / ammunition combinations in use fall within those limitations.

The use of 6.5mm Creedmoor ammunition on NSC ranges at Bisley is unaffected by DIO restrictions.
