Federal Gold Medal is one of the most recognized names in factory match ammunition, and the Berger Hybrid bullet is a favorite among long range competitors. This listing is Federal Premium Gold Medal 6.5 Creedmoor 140 grain Berger Hybrid open tip match ammo, MPN GM65CRDBH2, sold as a 200 round case for PRS and NRL matches, F-Class, and serious long range practice. Shooters who do not handload get match-grade consistency straight out of the box.
Federal rates GM65CRDBH2 at 2,725 fps with 2,308 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The Berger Hybrid Target bullet blends tangent and secant ogive shapes, which gives a high ballistic coefficient while being less sensitive to seating depth than a pure VLD design. That helps factory ammunition shoot consistently across different rifles. Gold Medal loads are built with an emphasis on uniformity for match accuracy. This is a precision target load, not a hunting load.
It fits rifles chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, including the Ruger Precision Rifle, Tikka T3x TAC A1, Bergara B-14 HMR and Premier, Savage 110 Elite Precision, Seekins Havak, MasterPiece Arms, Christensen MPR, and custom builds on Remington 700 footprint actions. A common question is what twist rate suits a 140 grain Berger Hybrid. The standard 1 in 8 inch twist found on most 6.5 Creedmoor barrels stabilizes it well. Another common question is whether match ammo is worth it for practice. For precision work it is, because consistent ammunition helps you separate shooter error from load variation.
Federal GM65CRDBH2 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. Cases are reloadable brass with boxer primers, and the load is non-corrosive. This listing ships as 10 boxes of 20 rounds, 200 total, from one lot. Staying on one lot means your recorded dope and velocity data stay valid for a full match season, and the brass makes excellent stock for handloading.
