FED PWRSHK 6.5CM 140GR SP 20/200

Description

Federal Power-Shok is a straightforward hunting load built for deer-sized and larger game at practical field distances. It doesn’t carry a premium price, and it doesn’t ask you to give much up for that savings. The jacketed soft point bullet uses a traditional lead-core construction that has accounted for clean kills on medium and big game for decades — the jacket controls expansion well enough to produce a broad wound channel without the bullet coming apart prematurely on shoulder bone, while still delivering enough retained weight to reach vitals reliably.

The 140-grain bullet weight sits at the heavier end of the 6.5mm Creedmoor’s practical range, which means it carries energy and resists wind deflection better at extended ranges than lighter offerings in the same caliber. Federal loads this round with their own brass, primers, and propellant, and the cases are reloadable if you work up your own loads once the hunting season ends. The muzzle velocity of 2,725 fps gives you a flat enough trajectory to hold center on a deer-sized target well past 300 yards with a conventional zero, and the ballistic coefficient of .439 keeps the bullet from shedding speed too aggressively as distance opens up.

This is a practical choice for hunters who shoot 6.5 Creedmoor and want a reliable, accurate round without paying for features — bonded cores, polymer tips, match-grade tolerances — that hunting at woods-and-fields distances doesn’t actually require. Twenty rounds per box is enough for a season of shooting and confirms your zero without breaking the budget.
