Why Choose Federal Terminal Ascent Ammunition?
Federal’s Terminal Ascent line was developed to solve the limitations of traditional bonded bullets. While many bonded projectiles offer good weight retention, they often struggle to expand reliably at lower impact velocities encountered at longer ranges. The Terminal Ascent bullet overcomes this challenge with a unique design that combines a polymer tip, a tapered jacket, and a bonded core. This results in a bullet that expands consistently at both high and low velocities while maintaining the deep penetration required for ethical, one-shot kills on big game. The 140-grain .264" bullet is perfectly suited for today’s popular 6.5mm cartridges, offering an excellent balance of ballistic coefficient, sectional density, and terminal performance.

Performance and Terminal Ballistics
The Federal PB264TA2 6.5mm 140gr Terminal Ascent is engineered to perform from the muzzle out to extreme distances. At close range, the bullet expands rapidly to create a large wound channel. At longer ranges, where impact velocities drop, the Terminal Ascent bullet continues to expand reliably thanks to its advanced design. Hunters can expect 60-70%+ weight retention even after penetrating heavy bone and muscle, ensuring the bullet reaches vital organs for quick, humane harvests. The high ballistic coefficient of the 140gr bullet helps maintain velocity and energy downrange, making it an outstanding choice for western big game hunting where shots can stretch beyond 400 yards. Whether you’re hunting whitetails in the woods or elk in the mountains, this ammunition delivers the terminal performance serious hunters demand.
