The Federal PB308TA3 Premium Terminal Ascent represents a significant advancement in hunting bullet technology, delivering exceptional long-range performance and terminal ballistics. These 215-grain bullets feature Federal's innovative Terminal Ascent design that maintains accuracy at extended distances while providing devastating expansion on impact.
What Makes This Different
The Terminal Ascent bullet combines a solid copper shank with a bonded lead core, creating a hybrid design that outperforms traditional hunting bullets. The AccuChannel groove technology reduces bearing surface while maintaining stability, resulting in flatter trajectories and reduced wind drift compared to conventional bullets. The Slipstream polymer tip initiates expansion at all velocities, ensuring consistent performance from 200 to 800+ yards.
Key Features
- 215-grain Terminal Ascent bullet with bonded lead core and solid copper shank
- AccuChannel groove technology for reduced drag and improved accuracy
- Slipstream polymer tip for consistent expansion at all hunting velocities
- High ballistic coefficient design for superior long-range performance
- Nickel-plated case for smooth feeding and corrosion resistance
- 50 bullets per box, 4 boxes per case (200 total bullets)
- Compatible with standard 30-caliber reloading equipment
Field testing demonstrates the Terminal Ascent's ability to maintain over 1,800 fps at 400 yards when loaded to optimal specifications. The bullet design excels in big game hunting scenarios, providing deep penetration on large animals while expanding reliably on medium game. Weather conditions have minimal impact on performance due to the aerodynamic profile and consistent manufacturing tolerances.
