20rds – 6.5 Creedmoor Federal 130gr. Barnes TSX Ammo Details

This 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge from Federal is capped with a 130 grain TSX projectile. The bullet’s performance is remarkably consistent, as its pure copper construction lets it retain the virtual entirety of its weight as it penetrates deeply within game. Its devastating terminal performance is accentuated even further by its exceptionally deep hollow point, enabling the TSX to reliably expand to double its diameter when it hits its target at 2,000 fps or faster.

The TSX’s monolithic composition further grants it superior rotational stability, and its accuracy is bolstered by the four pressure relieving grooves carved into its shank. Those attributes additionally mean that the TSX creates relatively little bore fouling, so you needn’t haul along your cleaning kit if you’d like to preserve your rifle’s accuracy over the course of a hunt.

Barnes saw to this round’s projectile nicely, but the rest of its components showcase Federal’s considerable craftsmanship. These 20 rounds’ brass casings have highly concentric walls and consistent internal capacities, so they chamber fluidly and hold identical propellant charges as one another. They’re ideal for handloading after the fact as well!
