20 Rounds of 175gr Terminal Ascent .308 Win Ammo by Federal

There are many match grade 308 Win cartridges on the market – but very few also offer the terminal performance you need to reliably fell boar, whitetail, and even larger quarries. Federal’s Terminal Ascent ammunition is an exceptional outlier.

The cobalt blue polymer tip on this round’s Terminal Ascent bullet is called the Slipstream. In addition to streamlining the bullet, the Slipstream serves to trigger massive expansion which is guided reliably outward by a contoured copper jacket. The jacket’s AccuChannel groove, which is situated just below the case mouth, assists the bullet to produce very little drag so it can fly faster and strike its target with more energy downrange.

The Terminal Ascent is also a bonded bullet, with a core and jacket that resist prying apart so they can tunnel deeply through thick hide and dense, sinewy muscle tissue. The 175 grain Terminal Ascent’s 0.520 G1 ballistic coefficient speaks to its admirably flat trajectory, as well as its ability to retain 1,000 ft lbs until 668 yards and remain supersonic until approximately 1,160 yards.

Federal’s high-quality primers and propellant charges ensure that the Terminal Ascent can exhibit match accuracy. The Minnesotan company’s nickel-plated brass cases are a welcome addition if you appreciate smooth-as-syrup cycling and superior corrosion resistance in the wet woods and fields.
