Why Hunters Choose Federal Custom Shop Terminal Ascent (6.5 PRC)
Custom Shop quality: Handcrafted assembly, matched powder/primer/brass, and rigorous QC for low ES/SD and repeatable point of impact.
Terminal Ascent bullet tech: A bonded core and solid rear shank maximize weight retention and penetration; the Slipstream® polymer tip initiates expansion across a wide velocity window—from close shots to extended ranges.
High-BC design for distance: Streamlined ogive, AccuChannel™ grooves, and a long boattail reduce drag and wind drift, keeping holds predictable when shots stretch.
Weather-resistant components: Premium cases (often nickel-plated in select runs) and clean-burning propellant support reliable performance in rain, snow, heat, or dust.
Confidence on game: Built to expand consistently while driving deep—ideal for deer, pronghorn, and with thoughtful shot placement, elk and black bear.
Field Advantages You’ll Notice
Match-grade consistency: Custom loading practices help produce tight vertical at distance so your dope stays true from cold bore through long strings.
Broad effective range: Terminal Ascent construction provides reliable upset at lower impact velocities without over-fragmenting up close.
Spot your own impact: The 130-gr weight balances velocity and recoil, aiding follow-through and fast, ethical second shots when needed.
Ideal Game & Applications
Whitetail & mule deer across timber and open country
Pronghorn & sheep where wind calls and distance matter
Elk & black bear (with appropriate shot angles), leveraging the bullet’s bonding and penetration
6.5 PRC + 130 gr Terminal Ascent: The Modern Sweet Spot
The 6.5 PRC offers higher muzzle velocity than 6.5 Creedmoor with outstanding downrange efficiency. Pairing it with the 130-grain Terminal Ascent yields a fast, flat trajectory, excellent wind performance, and manageable recoil—perfect for mountain hunts, Western prairies, and precision-minded whitetail setups.
Pro Tips for Best Results
Zero & validate: Establish a 100-yard zero, then confirm drops and wind holds at 300–700 yards with your rifle/optic combo.
Chronograph your lot: Record velocity to refine your ballistic solver; the Custom Shop’s consistency makes truing quick.
Check torque before season: Verify base/ring/action screws to spec, especially after flights or long drives.
Reconfirm in new temps/elevation: Atmospherics matter—re-verify dope when conditions change.
