This round sports Federal’s new and improved open tip match projectile: the CenterStrike. Cool name! The heavier bullet’s extra mass grants it welcome resistance to wind interference. The form-fitted lead core inside its concentric, attenuated copper jacket gives the CenterStrike great rotational stability as well. When the bullet hits a muzzle velocity of 2,600 fps, its 0.505 G1 ballistic coefficient will carry it to 200 yards in one-quarter of a second, and then let it drop -9.0” once it has traveled another 100 yards downrange (centered up 1.5”).
Handloaders, take note: Federal’s brass is worth its weight in gold (figuratively speaking). Newer shooters, take note: the OTM bullet is a poor choice for deer hunting given its thin jacket and inability to undergo terminal expansion. Made in Minnesota! Uff da!
