FIOCCHI BKWD HNTR 6.5CM 120GR 20/200

Description

Fiocchi’s Backwoods Hunter line is built for hunters who pursue big game in terrain that punishes both shooter and equipment — thick timber, dense cover, variable weather, and shots that rarely come at ideal angles or distances. This is hunting ammunition, not a range load, and the design decisions reflect that priority throughout.

The 120-grain Copper HP bullet is a solid-copper hollow point, which means it retains more of its original weight on impact than a traditional lead-core projectile. That retained mass translates directly into deeper penetration through heavy muscle and bone — relevant when you’re shooting hogs or quartering-away shots on whitetail where the bullet has to travel a long path to reach vitals. The hollow-point cavity initiates expansion reliably at hunting velocities, and the all-copper construction resists fragmentation that can reduce terminal effectiveness at the wound channel.

At a muzzle velocity of 2,900 feet per second, the load carries enough energy to remain effective well past 300 yards, and the ballistic coefficient of .380 helps it shed velocity slowly enough to stay in a useful performance window at distance. That combination suits hunters who glass open cuts or field edges where a 200- to 300-yard shot is routine rather than exceptional.

Packaged 20 rounds to a box, this is a load you’d buy to zero a rifle, confirm zero after travel, and carry in the field — not a bulk practice round. Fiocchi notes this as a discontinued offering, so available inventory represents what remains in the production run.
