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

Federal Premium 6.5 PRC ammunition loaded with 143-grain Hornady ELD-X bullets delivers the ballistic precision and terminal performance long-range hunters depend on. The 6.5 PRC cartridge has earned a reputation for flat shooting and consistent downrange energy, and pairing it with Hornady's ELD-X projectile—engineered for expansion across a wide velocity range—gives you a round capable of clean kills from practical hunting distances. This 20-round box of new-production ammunition arrives in reloadable, nickel-plated brass cases with boxer primers, so you can stretch your ammo budget while maintaining Federal's quality standards.

The ELD-X bullet sits at the heart of this load. Its polymer tip resists deformation in the magazine and during flight, ensuring consistent ballistics and reliable expansion when it matters. A concentric copper jacket, robust shank, and optimized boat-tail work together to stabilize the projectile and maximize energy transfer on game. The 143-grain weight is heavy-for-caliber for the 6.5 PRC, which improves downrange stability and helps retain velocity in wind—critical advantages if you're hunting at distance or in variable conditions.

Federal's specially formulated propellant is tuned for this load, delivering velocity and consistency shot to shot. If you reload, the nickel-plated brass is durable and resizes cleanly; non-corrosive primers mean your brass stays in rotation for years. Whether you're setting up a precision rifle for long-range game hunting or stocking a trusted load for the field, Federal Premium 6.5 PRC with ELD-X rounds the performance and dependability you need.
