Who This Is For
This ammunition is ideal for deer, elk, and other big-game hunters who demand a single load capable of performing ethically from inside 100 yards out to the farthest responsible shooting distances. It suits precision rifle shooters who refuse to compromise between terminal expansion and long-range ballistic efficiency, especially in open-country or mountain hunting environments where shots can vary wildly in distance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Terminal Ascent different from other bonded hunting bullets?
Federal's Terminal Ascent combines a bonded lead core and copper shank for deep weight-retention penetration with the exclusive Slipstream polymer tip, which initiates reliable expansion at velocities roughly 200 fps lower than comparable bullets. This means the bullet performs consistently whether your shot is at 50 yards or well past 400, making it one of the most versatile bonded hunting projectiles available in 6.5 Creedmoor.
Is this load suitable for elk and larger game, or just deer-sized animals?
Yes — Federal engineered Terminal Ascent specifically to handle a wide range of big-game species. The bonded construction and high retained weight ensure the bullet drives through heavy muscle and bone on elk, mule deer, pronghorn, and similar animals. At 130 grains with a muzzle energy of approximately 2,265 ft-lbs, this load delivers the terminal authority needed for ethical, one-shot performance on larger North American game.
Will this ammunition cycle reliably in my semi-automatic 6.5 Creedmoor rifle?
Federal Premium ammunition is loaded to SAAMI-spec pressures and uses high-quality brass cases, making it compatible with bolt-action and semi-automatic platforms chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, including popular rifles like the LWRC REPR MKII, Ruger Precision Rifle, and similar platforms. As always, consult your firearm's manual and confirm your chamber is in good condition before use with any new ammunition.
