The Federal Premium Terminal Ascent Component bullets deliver exceptional long-range accuracy and terminal performance for precision rifle applications. These 30-caliber 175-grain bullets feature Federal's advanced bonded construction technology, engineered to maintain weight retention and controlled expansion across a wide velocity range.
What Makes This Different
Terminal Ascent bullets utilize a unique combination of a solid copper shank and bonded lead core, creating superior weight retention compared to conventional hunting bullets. The polymer tip initiates consistent expansion while the boat-tail design reduces drag for flatter trajectories. Independent testing shows these bullets retain over 95% of their weight even after high-velocity impacts, significantly outperforming standard cup-and-core designs.
Key Features
- 175-grain weight optimized for .308 Winchester and .30-06 Springfield cartridges
- Bonded lead core with solid copper shank for maximum weight retention
- Polymer tip design ensures reliable expansion at extended ranges
- Boat-tail base reduces drag coefficient by 15% over flat-base bullets
- AccuChannel groove technology improves accuracy and reduces fouling
- Ballistic coefficient of 0.536 for superior long-range performance
- 50 bullets per box, 4 boxes per case for bulk reloading needs
These bullets excel in long-range hunting applications where precise shot placement and reliable expansion are critical. The 175-grain weight provides excellent sectional density for deep penetration on large game, while maintaining flat trajectory out to 600 yards. Competitive shooters appreciate the consistent ballistic performance and reduced vertical dispersion at extended ranges.
