Federal Fusion Tipped, 6.5 Creedmoor +Peak, 155 Grain, Polymer Tipped Bonded, 20 Round BoxFederal Fusion Tipped in 6.5 Creedmoor +Peak pairs one of the most trusted deer bullets in the woods with a case design that pushes the 6.5 Creedmoor well past its usual limits. Each box holds 20 rounds loaded with a 155 grain Fusion Tipped bullet leaving the muzzle at 2,900 fps. The polymer tip raises the ballistic coefficient to .613 (G1) and .307 (G7), so the bullet shoots flatter, drifts less in the wind and carries more energy downrange. Behind it, Federal's Peak Alloy case technology allows higher pressures, which is where the extra speed comes from. Best of all, it fires in the 6.5 Creedmoor rifle you already own.Key Features155 grain Fusion Tipped bullet with a polymer tip2,900 fps muzzle velocity and 2,894 ft-lbs of muzzle energyG1 ballistic coefficient .613, G7 .307Copper jacket electro-chemically bonded to a pressure-formed lead corePolymer tip and skived nose cavity start consistent expansionMaximum weight retention for deep penetrationPeak Alloy case technology for higher pressures and velocitiesFires in existing 6.5 Creedmoor riflesBuilt for big game and long range shooting20 rounds per boxWhat +Peak MeansThe 6.5 Creedmoor earned its following with mild recoil, high ballistic coefficient bullets and excellent accuracy, but traditional brass cases limit how much pressure a load can safely run. Federal's patented Peak Alloy case changes that. Because the case can handle higher pressures, 6.5 Creedmoor +Peak loads run about 300 fps faster than conventional brass-case 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition. Federal states that this is roughly 100 fps faster than 6.5 PRC when fired from an existing 6.5 Creedmoor rifle, and that a 20 inch barrel reaches the same velocity as a 24 inch barrel 6.5 PRC. In practical terms, you get the performance jump of a new cartridge without buying a new rifle or rebarreling the one you have.Fusion Tipped Bullet ConstructionFusion became a legend in the deer woods because of how it is built. Its pressure-formed lead core is molecularly bonded to the copper jacket, and the jacket is applied electro-chemically so it is perfectly uniform. That bond keeps the core and jacket together on impact, which gives the highest weight retention, deepest penetration and best expansion in its class. Fusion Tipped keeps that proven terminal performance and adds a polymer tip. The tip increases ballistic coefficient for a flatter trajectory and more retained energy, and together with the skived nose cavity it starts expansion reliably across a wide range of impact speeds. The result is a bullet that hits hard up close and still opens up at longer distances.BallisticsFederal published figures for this load:Velocity (fps)Muzzle100 yd200 yd300 yd400 yd500 yd2,9002,7482,6002,4582,3202,186Energy (ft-lbs)Muzzle100 yd200 yd300 yd400 yd500 yd2,8942,5982,3272,0791,8521,645Wind drift (inches, 10 mph crosswind)100 yd200 yd300 yd400 yd500 yd0.52.14.78.614.0Trajectory (inches, 100 yard zero, sights 1.5 in above bore)50 yd100 yd200 yd300 yd-0.20-3.1-11.4At 500 yards this load still carries more than 1,600 ft-lbs of energy and over 2,100 fps of velocity, which is why it suits elk and other large game at extended range as well as deer.SpecificationsBrandFederalLineFusion TippedManufacturer Part NumberF65CRDPKTFS2UPC604544711301Cartridge6.5 Creedmoor +PeakFits6.5 Creedmoor riflesBullet Weight155 grainBullet StyleFusion Tipped (polymer tip, bonded)Bullet Length1.480 inMuzzle Velocity2,900 fpsMuzzle Energy2,894 ft-lbsBallistic Coefficient (G1).613Ballistic Coefficient (G7).307CasePeak AlloyRounds per Box20UsageBig game, long rangeWho It Is ForDeer and elk hunters who want more range and energy from a 6.5 CreedmoorHunters who want a bonded bullet that holds together on heavy boneLong range shooters who want a flatter trajectory and less wind driftOwners who want 6.5 PRC class speed without a new rifleBefore You ShootConfirm your rifle is chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor and is in good working order.
