This ammo is well suited for long distance, especially when wind is a factor. Its 175 grain bullets are beefy, and not so easily deflected by gusts. It’s also backed by Federal’s highest grade of components, including the Gold Medal primers that they carefully manufacture for the utmost uniformity.
Let’s take a close look at this ammo’s ballistic performance. We calculated the following assuming (A) 0.250 G7 BC, (B) 2,600 fps muzzle velocity (24” bbl), and (C) 10 mph 90° crosswind (“el” = elevation; “wnd” = windage):
0yds: 2,600 fps | 2,627 ft lbs | -1.5” el | 0.03” wnd
100yds: 2,426 fps | 2,288 ft lbs | 12.67” el | 0.8” wnd

500yds: 1,795 fps | 1,252 ft lbs | 0.0” el | 20.8” wnd
750yds: 1,450 fps | 817 ft lbs | -91.1” el | 51.8” wnd
