Federal Premium Ammunition 6.5 Creedmoor 143 Grain Hornady ELD-X Polymer Tip 20RD

Federal Premium 6.5 Creedmoor 143 grain ammunition pairs a match-grade platform with the proven Hornady ELD-X bullet—a heavy-for-caliber design engineered for hunters who demand both accuracy and terminal performance at extended range. The 143-grain ELD-X bullet's high ballistic coefficient means flatter trajectories and less wind drift, so your shot stays true from 200 yards out to the distances where long-range hunting happens. This is match-accurate ammunition that hunts.

The ELD-X's polymer tip resists deformation in the magazine and during flight, maintaining consistent ballistics shot to shot. That same tip initiates controlled expansion across a wide velocity range—whether you're shooting close or far, the bullet expands predictably. Federal's concentric copper jacket and robust shank work together to deliver reliable performance on game, combining the aerodynamic advantage of the polymer tip with structural integrity where it counts.

If you're running a 6.5 Creedmoor for hunting elk, mule deer, or precision rifle competition, this Federal Premium load gives you factory ammunition with the ballistic characteristics of handloads. The 20-round box format makes it easy to stock up for the season or load into your precision rifle case for a long-range hunt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this ammunition suitable for long-range hunting?

Yes. The 143-grain ELD-X bullet's high ballistic coefficient minimizes wind drift and drop at distance, and the polymer tip initiates expansion reliably even at extended range, making this load purpose-built for long-range hunting scenarios.

What game is this 6.5 Creedmoor load appropriate for?

Federal Premium 6.5 Creedmoor is effective on medium to large game including deer, elk, and mule deer. The controlled expansion of the ELD-X bullet and match-grade platform support ethical, reliable performance across typical hunting distances.

Will the polymer tip deform during storage or feeding?

No. The ELD-X's polymer tip is engineered to resist deformation in the magazine and during chambering, maintaining consistent ballistics from round one through twenty.
