FED GOLD MDL 6.5CREED 130GR BERG 20

Description

Federal’s Gold Medal Berger line exists for one purpose: giving precision rifle competitors and serious long-range shooters factory ammunition built to the same standard as the best handloads. The projectile here is the Berger AR Hybrid OTM, a design that combines a tangent ogive at the base of the nose for reliable magazine feeding and consistent seating with a secant ogive toward the tip that pulls the ballistic coefficient higher than a conventional tangent-profile bullet of the same weight. The result is a G1 BC of .560 and a G7 of .287 — figures that translate directly into less vertical spread at distance and reduced sensitivity to crosswind calls.

Federal loads this bullet over a specially formulated propellant using Gold Medal match primers and Federal brass, with the entire production run held to tighter-than-standard tolerances for pressure, velocity, and overall cartridge length. The OAL is dimensioned to run reliably within SAAMI specifications, which matters in AR-platform rifles where the magazine constrains how far a bullet can be seated toward the lands. Muzzle velocity runs 2,875 fps from a standard test barrel, giving the shooter a predictable starting point for building a firing solution rather than a number that varies box to box.

This is not a general-purpose hunting or plinking load. It is competition and long-range target ammunition, and it performs that role with brass cases that are fully reloadable for shooters who want to extend the life of the components. Each box contains 20 rounds.
