Overview
Federal Fusion 140gr is a deer-focused 6.5 Creedmoor hunting load. Federal forms the jacket around the lead core and electrochemically bonds the two, then uses a soft point to start expansion.
Federal's current product page lists F65CRDFS1 at 2,725 fps with a 0.439 G1 ballistic coefficient. That is a practical factory baseline for a conventional deer rifle, but the shooter should still confirm group size and measured velocity in the hunting rifle.
Fusion is the straightforward choice when bonded construction matters and a specialized long-range bullet is unnecessary. It uses reloadable brass and comes in a 20-round box.
