Frequently Asked Questions
Is Federal Gold Medal 6.5 Creedmoor 140gr OTM suitable for hunting?
While this load is primarily designed for precision target shooting and competition, the 140gr OTM bullet is effective for ethical hunting at moderate to long ranges on medium-sized game. However, many hunters prefer Federal's Trophy Bonded or Terminal Ascent loads for hunting-specific terminal performance and controlled expansion. Always check local regulations regarding bullet type restrictions for hunting in your area.
Can I reload the brass from Federal Gold Medal ammunition?
Yes. Federal Premium uses high-quality brass casings that are well-regarded in the reloading community for their dimensional consistency and durability. Most shooters report getting multiple reloads from Gold Medal brass, making this an economical choice for those who reload their own precision ammunition.
What makes the Gold Medal primer different from standard primers?
Federal's exclusive Gold Medal primer is manufactured to benchrest-quality tolerances, offering more consistent sensitivity and more uniform ignition than standard commercial primers. This tighter quality control translates directly to reduced extreme spread (ES) and standard deviation (SD) in velocity readings — critical factors for achieving the smallest possible groups at long range.
