Federal Premium Terminal Ascent 6.5 Creedmoor 130gr Ammo

The Federal Premium Terminal Ascent 6.5 Creedmoor 130gr ammunition delivers exceptional long-range performance with a bonded bullet design engineered for deep penetration and controlled expansion. This premium hunting cartridge combines Federal's proven ballistic technology with the inherently accurate 6.5 Creedmoor platform. Each 20-round box contains precision-loaded cartridges that maintain velocity and accuracy at extended distances.

What Makes This Different

The Terminal Ascent bullet features a unique bonded construction with a solid copper shank and lead core that ensures 95% weight retention even after impact. Unlike standard hunting bullets that may fragment or fail to expand consistently, this design maintains structural integrity while creating devastating wound channels. The polymer tip initiates expansion at velocities as low as 1,400 fps, making it effective from muzzle to maximum hunting ranges.

Key Features

• Bonded bullet construction with 95% weight retention for deep penetration
• 130-grain bullet weight optimized for 6.5 Creedmoor ballistics
• Polymer tip ensures reliable expansion at all hunting velocities
• Solid copper shank prevents core separation on heavy bone contact
• Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness for accuracy
• Nickel-plated cases resist corrosion and enhance feeding
• 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case for bulk purchasing

Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifles, with muzzle velocities averaging 2,950 fps from 24-inch barrels. The high ballistic coefficient of 0.520 maintains energy and trajectory stability beyond 500 yards, making this cartridge suitable for long-range hunting applications. The bonded construction performs reliably on medium to large game, providing ethical kills with proper shot placement across various hunting scenarios.
