Fort Scott 6.5 Creedmoor 130gr TUI Solid Copper

Description

Fort Scott Munitions built their reputation on doing things differently, and this 6.5 Creedmoor load is a perfect example. These rounds feature solid copper bullets machined from premium copper bar stock on precision CNC equipment, not cast or swaged. What makes them special is the patented TUI (Tumble Upon Impact) design, which fundamentally changes how the round performs on target.

TUI Design and Terminal Performance

Unlike traditional hollow points or soft point bullets, the TUI technology works in two distinct phases. The solid copper bullet travels straight through the initial barrier, whether that's heavy bone or dense material, maintaining exceptional penetration. Once the round hits soft tissue, the engineered design causes it to tumble end-over-end, creating a much larger and more dynamic wound cavity. This approach concentrates damage internally rather than relying on expansion that might fail with marginal hits. Field use suggests penetration reliability that rivals full metal jacket ammunition combined with wound creation closer to what you'd expect from dedicated hunting rounds.

Match-Grade Accuracy and Tight Tolerances

Each round is loaded to incredibly tight tolerances, held within plus or minus 0.002 inches. That kind of consistency is what separates factory ammunition from hand-loaded quality, and Fort Scott maintains it across every round. The brass cases are clean and uniform, the powder charge is consistent, and every projectile is individually machined rather than mass-produced. When you're taking precision shots at distance or planning a hunt where you get one moment to count, this level of control matters.

Lead-Free Construction

Being solid copper means these rounds contain no lead whatsoever, making them suitable for areas with lead ammunition restrictions. The copper construction also allows for smoother barrel surfaces compared to jacketed ammunition, though Fort Scott recommends cleaning your barrel thoroughly if you're switching from other ammunition types, as the smoother surface may behave differently in fouled bores.

Versatile Ballistics for Multiple Applications

The 130-grain bullet at 2700 fps delivers 2104 foot-pounds of energy, giving you solid ballistic performance for precision rifle competition, medium to large game hunting, and self-defense scenarios. The 6.5 Creedmoor's inherent ballistic coefficient means your point of impact stays consistent across distance, and the TUI design works equally well whether you're shooting at 100 yards or extending to longer ranges.
