This is very accurate in my Tikka T3X Ace Target. I am shooting .707 MOA 5 round groups. Not the cheapest in price but very good performance in my rifle. YMMV

I’ve shot 59 of the 200 I purchased. One round would not chamber. Looking at the round nothing appears off visually, I need to borrow a buddy’s cartridge guide to see if the sizing is off and by how much.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions
Question:Will this cycle in a Bergara B-14 HMR? A review mentioned it wouldn’t cycle in their gun. - Joseph (12/26/2023)
Response:Joseph, your best bet is to look at some reviews on this round and make an informed decision. I cannot attest to how this ammo will cycle in your firearm. Thank you for visiting TargetSportsUSA.com
Question:Federal makes at least 2 rather inexpensive 6.5 CMs, this and Federal Varmint & Predator 95 gr. I have also used their Non-Typical 140 gr and found that to be very accurate in my Ruger Precision, and they also sell 120 Gr Total Metal Jacket. All this is somewhat confusing. I don't hunt, but shoot for accuracy at my 100 yard range at dime-sized targets. Can you help out by ranking these for target shooting? As I said, Non-Typical is my preferred choice, how do these others compare? Thx... - Stuart (07/14/2020)
Response:Hello Stuart, we will check on your inquiry with Federal and update you shortly. thank you for your patience.
