Product Overview
The Federal Fusion 6.5 PRC 140gr SP is a purpose-built deer hunting load that delivers reliable terminal performance at an accessible price point. With a muzzle velocity of 2,925 fps and 2,660 ft-lbs of energy, this ammunition provides ample power for whitetail, mule deer, and similarly-sized game. The molecularly-fused jacket is electrochemically bonded to the lead core, ensuring consistent expansion and high weight retention for effective energy transfer.
Deer hunters who want proven performance without premium pricing will find the Fusion offers exceptional value. The bullet's design was developed specifically for deer-sized game, with expansion characteristics optimized for typical engagement distances from 50 to 300 yards. The soft point design initiates expansion reliably even at lower velocities, making it effective across a wide range of shot distances.
Hunters transitioning to the 6.5 PRC from other cartridges will appreciate the Fusion's forgiving design. The bullet performs consistently across various impact angles and distances without the precision shot placement requirements of some premium hunting bullets. This makes it an excellent choice for hunters in brushy terrain or challenging conditions where perfect broadside shots are rare.
