Designed in collaboration with Berger Bullets, this load combines cutting-edge ballistic engineering with lethal terminal performance, making it a top choice for medium-game hunters and long-range shooting enthusiasts.

Unrivaled Ballistics & Accuracy

Engineered with Berger’s patented Hybrid Ogive bullet design, the 135-grain Federal Premium Berger Hybrid Hunter 6.5 Creedmoor projectile combines tangent and secant profiles to optimize aerodynamics. This innovative design results in a high ballistic coefficient (G1 BC: 0.584), supporting flat trajectories with a muzzle velocity of 2,851 fps and minimal wind drift, making it ideal for confident shooting in variable conditions. Delivering 2,437 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, it ensures excellent energy retention downrange. Built for precision and performance, this ammo offers half-MOA results or better in quality rifles. Each round features reloadable brass cases manufactured to strict tolerances, providing consistent ignition and reliable cycling in both bolt-action and semi-automatic platforms.

Terminal Performance for Ethical Hunts

The Berger Hybrid Hunter bullet features a controlled expansion design that ensures rapid energy transfer for quick, humane kills on medium game such as whitetail deer and pronghorn. Its deep penetration and consistent weight retention contribute to reliable terminal performance, while the fragmentation is specifically tuned for soft-to-medium tissue, making it unsuitable for larger game like elk or moose. Field reports confirm that this ammunition delivers clean exit wounds on broadside shots within 400 yards, minimizing the need for tracking and helping to preserve meat for the table.

Most rifles shoot 0.5–0.75 MOA with this factory load. Results depend on your firearm’s barrel harmonics and shooter skill.
