New Federal 6.5 PRC 140 gr Terminal Ascent

[adill84]

Looks like Federal announced a 6.5 PRC 140 grain terminal ascent offering. Anyone know if this will be replace the 130grain offering or when it may be readily available?

I always thought it was strange they started with 130gr for the PRC.

I’m looking to compare it to precision hunters for a new rifle and am wondering the difference on terminal ballistics between the 130gr. Mostly to give me some more warm and fuzzies for elk since I didn’t go with a bigger cartridge.

I used the 130 TA for a season on deer. They seemed to pencil through but all ended in dead deer. I switched to 140gr tipped fusion for my elk and it did awesome.

TA is just too hard if a bullet for me.

What were the distances think they were going to fast or slow?

All within 200 yards.

It’s just a 95+% retention bullet. It was doing what it was designed to do. I like a little explosion.

Again all deer died. But here in southeast a deer running 100 yards can put it in some gnarly stuff.

Thanks for the info I’m thinking slightly different result on bigger animals.

Probably not as different as you want it to be.
