The Federal Custom Shop 6.5 Creedmoor 130gr Terminal Ascent (Federal part no. FCS65CRDTA1SC) is a 20-round box of rifle ammunition from Federal. It comes from Federal’s Custom Shop, which builds each rifle load to order from a chosen bullet, brass, primer and powder. Federal lists a muzzle velocity of 2800 fps. Because every order is built to order, it suits the precision shooter who wants a specific bullet and cartridge pairing rather than a stock-room load.
