One shot in the ten ring is worth far more than ten fliers in the white, which is why should trust your precision shooting needs to a well-known manufacturer like Federal. Federal Premium has been designing and manufacturing ammo since the early 1920s and has successfully supported dozens of law enforcement agencies as well as Olympic-level shooting teams. Their mastery of performance gets poured into their American Eagle line, making these 6.5 Creedmoor rounds a fine choice for center-punching paper and steel at extreme distances.
Each round features a 120-grain bullet that is fitted into a reloadable brass casing and propelled by a clean-burning powder charge that is set in motion by a non-caustic Boxer primer. This particular load has been tested to fly at 2,900 feet per second out of the muzzle of a 24-inch barrel with a very flat trajectory thanks to the lighter bullet. The projectile is of an OTM (Open-Tip Match) design which is made by sending lead material through the open tip of a sculpted copper jacket. This style of bullet-making preserves jacket integrity and ensures balanced lead cores with zero gaps so that the bullet flies smoothly without any imbalances in its makeup.

Q: Which ones are Subsonic 6.5 Creedmoor rounds?
Posted On: 6/8/2023 By: John
A: Thanks for reaching out John! By definition, a subsonic cartridge has a muzzle velocity lower than 1,125 fps. I regret that we haven't got any options in stock for you right now.
Q: What 6.5 round is best for killing Coyotes?
Posted On: 7/3/2020 By: C.T.R.
A: The best coyote hunting bullet will expand inside soft tissue. An open tip match (OTM) bullet may superficially resemble a hollow point, but it isn't designed for terminal expansion. (Which isn't to suggest this round's bullet wouldn't kill a coyote dead in his tracks with correct shot placement.) We have some soft point 6.5 CM ammo in stock, but our best 6.5 CM hunting cartridge currently in stock is Hornady Precision Hunter 143gr ELD-X. The ELD-X bullet offers match grade accuracy followed by dramatic terminal expansion, absolutely deadly to coyote and medium game: 20-rounds-of-6-5-mm-creedmoor-ammo-by-hornady-143gr-eld-x
