Federal Premium Terminal Ascent 6.5 Creedmoor 130gr

Federal Premium Terminal Ascent 6.5 Creedmoor 130 Grain

Federal Premium's Terminal Ascent represents a significant advancement in long-range hunting ammunition. This round bridges the gap between match-grade accuracy and reliable terminal performance—a combination that has long challenged ammunition designers.

Design and Construction

The Terminal Ascent bullet features bonded construction that locks the copper jacket to the lead core, ensuring the projectile stays together through bone and heavy muscle. This design philosophy delivers deep, consistent penetration on close-range targets while maintaining the velocity needed for expansion at extended distances.

The patented Slipstream polymer tip initiates expansion at velocities 200 fps lower than conventional designs. This means you get reliable expansion even when velocity has dropped significantly due to distance or wind conditions.

Ballistic Performance

• Extremely high ballistic coefficient for a flatter trajectory and reduced wind drift
• AccuChannel groove technology minimizes aerodynamic drag and improves accuracy
• 130 grain bullet weight optimized for the 6.5 Creedmoor platform
• 2800 fps muzzle velocity delivers energy retention across typical hunting ranges

Practical Application

Whether you're hunting at 100 yards or stretching shots beyond 500, the Terminal Ascent performs. The combination of bonded construction and low-velocity expansion capability makes this round suitable for any hunt, any range. The sleek profile and high ballistic coefficient mean less time calculating holdover and more time making ethical shots.

Each box contains 20 rounds of consistent, reliable ammunition built to Federal's exacting standards.
