Federal PB264TA2 6.5mm .264 140gr Terminal Ascent 50 Per Box/4 Case
Federal's Terminal Ascent bullets in 6.5mm .264 140gr are purpose-built for precision long-range hunting and match the exacting demands of modern rifle cartridges like the 6.5 Creedmoor, .264 Winchester Magnum, and similar mid-bore calibers. Whether you're a dedicated handloader or a hunter who wants ammunition tailored to your rifle's specific requirements, these Federal 6.5mm reloading bullets deliver the ballistic performance and terminal characteristics that matter downrange. The 140-grain weight in this diameter strikes a practical balance between velocity retention and impact energy, making it a go-to choice for hunters pursuing medium to large game at extended distances.
Terminal Ascent projectiles are engineered to expand reliably across a wide velocity window—a critical advantage when your shots span from moderate ranges to the far edge of your rifle's effective range. The design combines precision machining with modern materials to ensure consistent performance from bullet to bullet, shot to shot. Reloaders appreciate Federal's quality control on bullets as much as on finished ammunition; when you're building custom handloads, consistency in bearing surface, weight, and concentricity directly affects your accuracy and reliability. These bullets come packed 50 per box, and this listing includes a full 4-box case for volume shooters and serious handloaders.
If you're researching 6.5mm rifle bullets for long-range hunting or precision shooting, Terminal Ascent projectiles have earned a strong reputation in that role. Handloaders often pair them with quality brass, a careful powder charge, and match-grade primers to create ammunition that rivals factory offerings in consistency and often exceeds them in customization. Stock these in your reloading room if you run a 6.5-caliber rifle and want bullets proven to perform in the field.
