Federal Premium Terminal Ascent 6.5 PRC 130gr Hunting Ammo

The Federal Premium Terminal Ascent 6.5 PRC 130gr delivers exceptional long-range hunting performance with bonded construction and high ballistic coefficient design. This premium ammunition combines Federal's proven AccuBond bullet technology with optimized powder charges for consistent velocity and terminal performance on big game at extended distances.

What Makes This Different

Terminal Ascent bullets feature a bonded lead core with polymer tip design that maintains structural integrity through tough hide and bone while delivering controlled expansion. The sleek bullet profile achieves a ballistic coefficient of .295, significantly outperforming standard hunting bullets for flatter trajectory and retained energy downrange. Federal's quality control processes ensure velocity consistency within 10 fps standard deviation across production lots.

Key Features

• 130-grain AccuBond bullet with polymer tip for rapid expansion
• Bonded core construction prevents separation on heavy bone impact
• High ballistic coefficient (.295 G1) for superior long-range performance
• Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and cycle smoothly
• Match-grade powder charges deliver consistent 2960 fps muzzle velocity
• 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
• Optimized for 24-26 inch barrel lengths in 6.5 PRC rifles

Field testing demonstrates effective expansion at impact velocities from 1800-3000 fps, making this load suitable for shots from 50 to 500+ yards on deer, elk, and similar-sized game. The bonded construction maintains 85-90% weight retention even after penetrating heavy shoulder bones. Temperature stability remains consistent from -20°F to 125°F without significant velocity shifts.
