Federal Premium ELD-X 6.5 PRC 143 grain ammunition (Federal part no. P65PRCELDX1) is a long-range hunting load built around a 143-grain ELD-X bullet launched at 2900 fps. Federal loads a polymer tip that resists deformation and initiates extreme-range expansion, with a concentric copper jacket and a robust shank behind it. The bullet has a very high ballistic coefficient of .625 and is heavy for its caliber. It suits big game hunters who stretch their shots, and each box holds 20 rounds.
