The Federal Premium 6.5 Creedmoor 130 gr Terminal Ascent delivers match-grade long-range accuracy and reliable terminal performance for hunters and precision shooters who need a versatile hunting round, with the Terminal Ascent series engineered to bridge the gap between extreme-ballistic efficiency and hard-hitting penetration. Its long, sleek profile produces an extremely high ballistic coefficient to reduce wind drift and drop, and the Slipstream polymer tip initiates expansion at velocities about 200 fps lower than comparable designs, translating to more consistent energy transfer on close-to-mid range shots as well as dependable expansion at extended distances when paired with a 2800 fps muzzle velocity and 2263 ft-lbs of energy. The bonded bullet and copper shank retain weight for deep penetration through tough tissue, while AccuChannel groove technology minimizes drag and helps maintain accuracy shot after shot, making this nickel-plated brass-cased ammunition a strong choice for deer and big-game hunters who value flat trajectories, repeatable point of impact, and performance from a U.S.-made Federal Premium hunting line.
