This premium offering is designed to extract every ounce of performance from the already impressive 6.5mm Creedmoor cartridge. The ELD-X bullet is a technological marvel, featuring a secant ogive profile, boattail base, and proprietary polymer tip that work in concert to achieve an outstanding .625 ballistic coefficient. This aerodynamic efficiency translates to flatter trajectories, less wind drift, and higher retained velocities at extended ranges. Leaving the muzzle at 2700 fps and carrying a potent 2315 ft-lbs of energy, the 143-grain projectile is optimized for medium to large game, delivering controlled expansion and deep penetration across a wide spectrum of impact velocities. Whether you're pursuing challenging mountain game or competing in precision rifle series events, Federal's 6.5mm Creedmoor ELD-X ammunition provides the performance and consistency needed to turn your most ambitious shooting goals into reality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; max-width: 1000px; margin: 0 auto;\"\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; max-width: 1000px; margin: 0 auto;\"\u003e \u003ch2 style=\"color: #ff6600; border-bottom: 2px solid #ff6600; padding-bottom: 10px; font-size: 24px;\"\u003eFederal 6.5 Creedmoor 143gr ELD-X Ammo Highlights:\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 20px; background-color: #f9f9f9; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #ff6600; color: white;\"\u003e \u003cth style=\"padding: 12px; font-size: 18px; text-align: left;\" colspan=\"2\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/th\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: bold; width: 40%;\"\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/blackbasin.com\/federal\/\"\u003eFederal\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eCaliber\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/blackbasin.com\/rifle-ammo\/6.5-creedmoor\/\"\u003e6.5 Creedmoor\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eBullet Weight\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px;\"\u003e143 grains\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eBullet Type\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px;\"\u003eELD-X (Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eMuzzle Velocity\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px;\"\u003e2700 fps\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eMuzzle Energy\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px;\"\u003e2315 ft-lbs\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eBallistic Coefficient\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px;\"\u003e.625\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eRounds Per Box\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px;\"\u003e20\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eRecommended Use\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px;\"\u003eBig Game Hunting, Long-Range Shooting\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; max-width: 1000px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0px;\"\u003e \u003ch2 style=\"color: #ff6600; border-bottom: 2px solid #ff6600; padding-bottom: 10px;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-style: italic; color: #666;\"\u003eThe Federal 6.5 Creedmoor 143gr ELD-X ammunition offers impressive performance characteristics that make it an excellent choice for long-range hunting and precision shooting.
