The Federal Premium P2506H delivers exceptional terminal performance for medium to large game hunting with its 100-grain Barnes TSX bullet design. This premium ammunition combines Federal's precision manufacturing with Barnes' proven all-copper construction for reliable expansion and deep penetration across hunting distances.
What Makes This Different
The Barnes Triple-Shock X (TSX) bullet features an all-copper construction that retains 99% of its weight upon impact, creating devastating wound channels while maintaining structural integrity. Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that may fragment, the TSX's four razor-sharp petals expand consistently across velocities from 1,800 to 3,000 fps. The grooved bullet shank reduces barrel fouling by up to 50% compared to solid copper bullets, maintaining accuracy over extended shooting sessions.
Key Features
- 100-grain Barnes TSX all-copper bullet for maximum weight retention
- Federal Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness
- Optimized powder charge for 3,230 fps muzzle velocity
- Four-petal expansion design creates 1.5x original diameter wound channels
- Grooved bullet shank reduces copper fouling accumulation
- Lead-free construction meets all hunting regulations
- Nickel-plated cases for smooth feeding and extraction
Field performance demonstrates consistent 2-3 inch groups at 200 yards from quality hunting rifles, with the TSX bullet maintaining expansion reliability on deer, elk, and antelope from 50 to 400 yards. The all-copper construction eliminates lead fragmentation concerns while delivering the deep penetration needed for quartering shots and heavy bone contact. Temperature stability remains consistent from sub-zero mountain hunts to desert conditions.
