Elevate your 6.5 Creedmoor to premium, hunt-ready performance. Federal Custom Rifle Ammo — 6.5 Creedmoor 130-grain Terminal Ascent is hand-built in Federal’s Custom Shop for exceptional precision, consistency, and terminal results on big game. Each round pairs Federal’s acclaimed Terminal Ascent bullet with matched components and meticulous assembly—delivering a flat trajectory, superb accuracy, and reliable expansion across a wide velocity window for both close and extended ranges.

Why Hunters Choose Federal Custom Shop Terminal Ascent

  • Custom Shop precision: Handcrafted cartridges with tight QC, carefully matched brass, powder, and primers for repeatable lot-to-lot performance.

  • Terminal Ascent bullet tech: A bonded core and solid rear shank retain weight and drive deep, while the advanced polymer tip initiates expansion at both high and low impact velocities—ideal from treestand to tundra.

  • High-BC, long-range profile: Streamlined ogive, boattail, and groove geometry reduce drag and wind drift so your holds remain predictable when distances stretch.

  • Nickel-plated brass (select runs) & premium components: Smooth feeding, improved corrosion resistance, and consistent ignition to support extreme-weather hunts.

  • Confidence from zero to far: Built to print tight groups on paper and translate that accuracy into ethical, controlled terminal performance in the field.

Field-Proven Advantages You’ll Notice

  • Consistent accuracy: Custom Shop assembly and uniform seating depth promote tight vertical and minimal ES/SD, helping you true ballistic solvers quickly.

  • Wide-velocity expansion: Bullet design enables reliable upset at distance without over-fragmenting at closer ranges—ideal for mixed-terrain hunts.

  • Deep penetration & high weight retention: Bonding + solid shank construction helps the bullet hold together through bone and dense tissue for confident pass-throughs and short blood trails.

Ideal Game & Uses

  • Whitetail & mule deer in open country or timber

  • Pronghorn & sheep where wind and distance challenge shot placement

  • Elk & black bear (with thoughtful shot selection), taking advantage of bonded construction and deep penetration

  • Precision-minded hunters who want Custom Shop accuracy in a purpose-built hunting load

6.5 Creedmoor + 130 gr Terminal Ascent: The Sweet Spot

The 6.5 Creedmoor’s reputation for excellent external ballistics pairs perfectly with the 130-grain Terminal Ascent—a bullet weight that balances speed, BC, and recoil. Expect flat flight paths, forgiving wind holds, and manageable recoil, making it easier to spot impacts and execute fast, ethical follow-ups.

Pro Tips for Best Results

  1. Confirm zero at 100 yards, then validate dope at mid/long range (e.g., 300–600 yards) with your hunting optic and environmental conditions.

  2. Record your lot data (chronograph) to refine your ballistic profile; Custom Shop consistency makes solver truing faster.

  3. Verify torque on bases/rings before season and re-check after flights or long drives.

  4. Temperature check: Reconfirm dope when temps swing significantly; even great ammo benefits from verified atmospherics.
