The Federal Premium Terminal Ascent 30-06 Springfield 175gr ammunition delivers consistent long-range performance with advanced bullet construction engineered for deep penetration and controlled expansion. This premium hunting cartridge combines a bonded lead core with a solid copper shank to maintain weight retention across various impact velocities.
What Makes This Different
Terminal Ascent bullets feature a unique dual-construction design that outperforms traditional bonded bullets at extended ranges. The solid copper rear shank ensures deep penetration on large game, while the bonded front section creates reliable expansion even at lower velocities. This hybrid construction maintains 95% weight retention compared to 85% for standard bonded bullets, delivering superior terminal performance on elk, deer, and other big game.
