Federal Terminal Ascent 6.5mm rifle bullets deliver match-grade accuracy and field-proven performance for reloaders who demand the same precision and reliability in their handloads as they do from factory ammunition. Built on a bonded construction that pairs a copper shank with a bonded lead core, these 130-grain .264 bullets are engineered to hold together through heavy bone and muscle, ensuring weight retention and deep penetration whether you're threading a shot at 200 yards or stretching it to 600. The bonded core design removes the guesswork: you get consistent, predictable terminal performance across the velocity spectrum.
The Terminal Ascent's real edge comes from Federal's Slipstream polymer tip technology, which initiates expansion at velocities 200 fps lower than conventional designs. That means flatter trajectories, less wind drift, and reliable expansion even when a long-range shot bleeds off velocity. Pair that with an extremely high ballistic coefficient and AccuChannel groove technology—Federal's drag-reduction feature that improves accuracy and minimizes wind deflection—and you're looking at a hunting bullet that performs like a precision tool. These aren't generic cup-and-core projectiles; they're designed specifically for shooters who understand that ammunition performance begins at the reloading press.
Each box contains 50 premium bullets ready to load into your favorite 6.5mm cartridge. Whether you're working up loads for a .264 Winchester Magnum, 6.5 Creedmoor, or another common long-range platform, Terminal Ascent bullets give you the ballistic foundation for repeatable groups and lethal performance in the field.
| Caliber | 6.5mm (.264) |
| Weight | 130 grains |
| Count | 50 per box |
| Construction | Bonded copper shank and lead core with Slipstream polymer tip |
| Part Number | PB264TA1 |
Federal Terminal Ascent .264 130-grain bullets are designed for popular 6.5mm long-range cartridges. Verify compatibility with your specific load data and reloading manual before assembling ammunition.
The Slipstream tip initiates expansion at velocities 200 fps lower than conventional bullet designs, which means better expansion at extended range when bullet velocity has naturally dropped, and flatter trajectories throughout your shooting distance.
Yes. The bonded construction and expanding tip design are engineered for hunting applications, with weight retention and penetration across a broad velocity range.
Each box contains 50 Federal Terminal Ascent 6.5mm 130-grain bullets.
