Federal Premium Ammunition added 20-round boxes of .300 BLK, 6.5 Grendel and 6.5 Creedmoor to its American Eagle line of target ammunition. These loads are shipping now and will be available in stores soon.

The .300 BLK loads features a 150-grain FMJ bullet that retails at a suggested price of $17.95. The 6.5 Grendel offering contains a 120-grain OTM bullet and will sell for a suggested price of $31.95. The 6.5 Creedmoor round features a 140-grain OTM bullet and retails for $33.95.

Some of the features and benefits of the new line is the inclusion of accurate bullets and reliable primers to ensure consistent performance and reliable feeding and function. The brass is reloadable, and the boxes are priced to encourage high-volume shooting for those who enjoy these rounds.
