The Federal F65CRDTFS1 Fusion ammunition delivers exceptional terminal performance through its molecularly bonded copper jacket and lead core construction. This 6.5 Creedmoor load combines match-grade accuracy with devastating expansion for hunters demanding consistent results on medium to large game.
What Makes This Different
Fusion technology bonds the jacket to the core at the molecular level, eliminating jacket separation that plagues conventional soft point bullets. The skived nose design initiates controlled expansion while the bonded construction retains 95% of bullet weight through bone and tissue. This engineering produces deeper penetration and larger wound channels compared to standard cup-and-core bullets.
Key Features
- Molecularly bonded jacket prevents separation for maximum weight retention
- 140-grain projectile optimized for 6.5 Creedmoor ballistics and twist rates
- Skived nose design ensures reliable expansion at hunting velocities
- Match-grade brass cases with consistent powder charges for accuracy
- Boxer-primed cases suitable for reloading applications
- Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications for reliable feeding and extraction
- 20 rounds per box with 10 boxes per case for bulk purchasing
Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifles with muzzle velocities averaging 2700 fps from 24-inch barrels. The bonded construction maintains structural integrity through heavy bone, making this load effective on elk, deer, and similar game at ranges extending beyond 400 yards. All-weather primer compounds ensure reliable ignition in temperature extremes from -40°F to 140°F.
