Description

Federal Premium ELD-X 6.5 PRC ammunition (part no. P65PRCELDX1) loads a 143-grain ELD-X Polymer Tip for hunters heading out after deer-class game and similarly sized animals. Federal has been a top American ammunition maker for decades, and this loading reflects the same attention to consistency found across its premium lines. The Heat Shield tip resists melting from friction at high velocity, so expansion starts on cue instead of blunting the nose before impact. Brass-cased and 20 to a box, it is built to feed reliably through bolt guns and semi-autos chambered for the cartridge. In our rifle ammunition lineup, this 6.5 PRC loading is a confirmed, dependable choice worth adding to the cart.
