Federal Premium's 6.5 PRC 130gr Terminal Ascent is purpose-built for hunters who demand reliable, long-range performance on big game. This bonded hunting bullet combines match-grade accuracy with a design engineered to expand reliably even at the slower velocities you'll encounter at distance—the patented Slipstream polymer tip initiates expansion 200 fps lower than comparable designs, which matters when you're stretching shots beyond typical hunting ranges.
The Terminal Ascent's long, sleek profile delivers an exceptional ballistic coefficient of .532, meaning less wind drift and drop as your shot travels downrange. Federal's AccuChannel groove technology further reduces drag to flatten your trajectory. More importantly, the bullet's bonded construction—a copper shank fused to a lead core—provides the weight retention needed for deep, consistent penetration on close-range encounters and distant shots alike. Whether your hunt takes you to 200 yards or significantly further, this round was designed to perform.
Each box contains 20 rounds loaded to a muzzle velocity of 3000 fps. This 6.5 PRC load sits comfortably in the modern long-range hunting cartridge ecosystem, offering the velocity and downrange energy hunters expect from Federal Premium ammunition. If you're handloading, the ballistics and velocity give you solid reference points; if you're shooting factory ammunition, you're getting consistency backed by Federal's quality control standards.
| Caliber | 6.5 PRC |
| Bullet Weight | 130 grains |
| Bullet Type | Terminal Ascent (bonded) |
| Muzzle Velocity | 3000 fps |
| Ballistic Coefficient | .532 |
| Rounds Per Box | 20 |
| Intended Use | Big game hunting |
The Terminal Ascent carries a .532 ballistic coefficient, which is considered high for a bonded hunting bullet. A higher BC means the bullet sheds velocity more slowly as it travels, resulting in a flatter trajectory and reduced wind drift—both critical factors when you're hunting at distance.
Yes. The patented Slipstream polymer tip is designed to initiate expansion at velocities 200 fps lower than conventional hunting bullet designs. This means reliable expansion even when velocity has fallen significantly downrange, addressing one of the key challenges of long-range hunting.
Each box contains 20 rounds of Federal Premium 6.5 PRC 130gr Terminal Ascent ammunition.
The bonded copper-and-lead construction retains weight for deep penetration, the Slipstream tip expands at lower velocities than typical designs, and the AccuChannel groove technology reduces drag for flatter trajectories and improved accuracy. Together, these features make it well-suited to modern long-range hunting scenarios.
