Federal built the Trophy Copper line around a simple idea: create a bullet that stays together when it matters most. The polymer-tipped, copper-alloy design retains up to 99 percent of its original weight through impact and deep penetration, which is tough to beat when you're counting on clean, reliable expansion from medium-range shots out to extended distances. The 120-grain projectile leaves the muzzle at 2875 fps with 2202 foot-pounds of energy, giving it a ballistic coefficient of 0.497 that keeps it flying flat and true downrange.
What separates this Federal load from basic hunting ammunition is how the bullet is built. The all-copper construction means there's no jacket-to-core separation lurking in the back of your mind. The polymer tip does two jobs: it initiates expansion when the bullet hits, and it boosts the ballistic coefficient for better aerodynamics. Pair that with the boat-tail design, and you're looking at a projectile that carries velocity and energy farther than lighter, more traditional hunting bullets. The grooved shank reduces pressure while keeping accuracy tight across whatever rifle you're shooting it through.
The 120-grain weight is perfectly suited to what the 6.5 Creedmoor does best: flat-shooting medium-game hunting without excessive recoil. It works well on whitetail and mule deer at any reasonable hunting distance, handles pronghorn effectively even in windy conditions, and performs well on smaller game like coyotes. The nickel-plated brass cases cycle smoothly and resist corrosion better than standard brass, and you get 20 rounds per box loaded with premium Federal components and quality control you can count on.
This 120-grain Trophy Copper load works best on medium-sized game including whitetail deer, mule deer, pronghorn antelope, and coyotes. It's also suitable for smaller black bears and feral hogs. The 6.5 Creedmoor with this bullet design isn't recommended for large dangerous game like elk at extended range without careful shot placement and understanding its terminal performance limits.
The 0.497 ballistic coefficient and 2875 fps muzzle velocity work together to maintain velocity and energy downrange effectively. The polymer tip and boat-tail design keep the bullet flying flat with minimal wind drift, making it capable of delivering reliable expansion across a broad velocity range. This makes the Trophy Copper a solid choice for shots well beyond 200 yards on appropriately sized game.
Yes, the Trophy Copper uses all-copper-alloy construction without a lead core, making it suitable for hunting in areas where lead ammunition is restricted or prohibited. The copper construction also provides the excellent weight retention and penetration characteristics Trophy Copper is known for.
Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion better than standard brass, which matters if your ammunition sits in storage or is exposed to humidity over time. The nickel plating also reduces friction in the chamber, which can help with easier extraction and consistent velocities across multiple firings. Federal includes this upgrade across their Premium Vital-Shok line.
