The Federal Premium Terminal Ascent 6.5 Creedmoor 130 grain ammunition is engineered for hunters who demand both range capability and reliable terminal performance on big game. Built on a bonded bullet platform, these rounds combine the flat-shooting ballistics of match-grade long-range ammo with the stopping power needed when it counts. Each box contains 20 rounds ready to load into your precision rifle.
The Terminal Ascent bullet's standout feature is its Slipstream polymer tip, which is designed to initiate expansion at velocities 200 fps lower than conventional polymer-tip hunting rounds—a meaningful advantage if you're taking longer shots where velocity has already dropped. That early, consistent expansion works alongside a bonded copper shank and lead core that retain weight through thick bone and muscle, delivering deep penetration whether your shot breaks ribs at 100 yards or extends to distances where most hunters wouldn't dare attempt it.
Ballistics matter on a long hunt. The 130-grain Terminal Ascent carries a .545 ballistic coefficient, which translates to a flatter trajectory and less wind deflection as your bullet travels downrange. AccuChannel groove technology on the bullet's shank cuts drag further, helping stabilize flight and improve accuracy from match-grade precision rifles. At a muzzle velocity of 2825 fps, these rounds will keep up with the performance expectations of modern 6.5 Creedmoor hunters seeking both distance and reliability.
If your 6.5 Creedmoor is built for long-range hunting—whether you're glassing from a ridge or hunting open country where shots stretch—Terminal Ascent ammo is worth testing in your rifle. The combination of early-expansion polymer tip technology, deep-penetrating bonded construction, and high ballistic coefficient covers most scenarios serious hunters face in the field.
| Caliber | 6.5 Creedmoor |
| Bullet Weight | 130 grains |
| Bullet Type | Polymer Tip, Bonded, Boat Tail |
| Muzzle Velocity | 2825 fps |
| Ballistic Coefficient | .545 |
| Round Count | 20 per box |
| Intended Use | Big Game Hunting |
These rounds are loaded for big game hunting. The bonded construction and controlled expansion make them effective at both close and extended ranges where modern 6.5 Creedmoor rifles typically operate.
Federal's Slipstream tip is designed to start expanding at velocities 200 fps lower than comparable polymer-tip designs. This means more consistent, earlier expansion even on longer-range shots where bullet velocity has already decreased.
Yes, these are standard 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition and will function in any rifle chambered for that cartridge. As with all ammo, it's always wise to start with a few rounds to verify reliable feeding and performance in your specific rifle.
Each box contains 20 rounds of Federal Premium Terminal Ascent ammunition, ready to load and fire.
