The Federal P65PRCLRX1 delivers exceptional long-range performance with 127-grain Terminal Ascent bullets engineered for deep penetration and controlled expansion. This 6.5 PRC ammunition combines Federal's precision manufacturing with advanced bullet technology to extend effective range while maintaining terminal effectiveness on medium to large game.
What Makes This Different
Terminal Ascent bullets feature a bonded lead core with polymer tip and copper shank construction that maintains 95% weight retention through tough barriers. The AccuChannel groove technology reduces drag coefficient by 10% compared to standard hunting bullets, delivering flatter trajectory and reduced wind drift at extended ranges. Federal's Gold Medal brass cases provide consistent chamber pressure and reliable extraction across temperature extremes.
Key Features
- 127-grain Terminal Ascent bonded bullet with polymer tip for controlled expansion
- Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and ensure smooth feeding
- Optimized powder charge delivers 2,940 fps muzzle velocity from 24-inch barrel
- AccuChannel groove technology reduces drag for improved ballistic coefficient
- Copper shank construction penetrates heavy bone and muscle tissue
- Federal 210 primers provide consistent ignition in all weather conditions
- 20-round plastic ammunition box with individual bullet protection
Field testing demonstrates sub-MOA accuracy potential in quality bolt-action rifles, with consistent performance at ranges exceeding 500 yards. The bonded bullet construction maintains structural integrity when striking heavy bone, making this load effective for elk, mule deer, and similar-sized game. Terminal Ascent bullets expand reliably at velocities as low as 1,400 fps, extending effective hunting range compared to conventional soft-point ammunition.
