Federal Ammunition added 22 Creedmoor loads to its Fusion and American Eagle rifle lines on October 29, with both 75-grain loads rated at 3,300 fps, the company said in a release from Anoka, Minnesota.
22 Creedmoor is a high-velocity .22-caliber rifle cartridge. “The screaming 22 Creedmoor can push heavier 22-caliber bullets more than 3,000 fps for flat trajectories, long-range accuracy, and hard-hitting power on coyotes and other predators,” said Josh Vickers, Federal’s Centerfire Rifle Ammunition Product Manager.
The Fusion load is a 75-grain bonded Soft Point with an MSRP of $47.99. Bonded means the copper jacket is electro-chemically bonded to the core, and the skived nose gives consistent expansion for hunting. The American Eagle load is a 75-grain Total Metal Jacket (TMJ) for target practice, with reloadable brass cases. It has an MSRP of $40.99.
| Spec | Fusion | American Eagle |
|---|---|---|
| Bullet weight | 75 grain | 75 grain |
| Muzzle velocity | 3,300 fps | 3,300 fps |
| Ballistic coefficient | .298 | .400 |
| MSRP | $47.99 | $40.99 |
| Package | 20 rounds | 20 rounds |
Federal’s Fusion product page lists the load as new, with a bullet length of 0.936 inches. Muzzle energy is 1,813 foot-pounds. Velocity falls to 2,963 fps at 100 yards and 1,833 fps at 500 yards, where 559 foot-pounds remain.
The American Eagle page shows the TMJ load at $39.99, a dollar under the release’s MSRP. Federal named no rifles chambered in 22 Creedmoor.
The new loads are being delivered to dealers nationwide, and Federal products are also sold online. An 80-grain Sierra Tipped MatchKing load for competition shooters is coming soon in the same chambering. No date or price has been given for that load.
