No matter the hunter, distance or animal, the Terminal Ascent story always ends the same. Up close. At extreme range. And everywhere in between. Built to shoot flatter, more accurately and with better expansion and weight retention than any bullet ever created.
Get an inside look at the development and launch of Federal Premium Terminal Ascent. It penetrates deep at any range, offers the highest BCs in its class, and expands at longer distances than any comparable design
Lethal extreme-range bullet performance doesn't look like the 2x expansion hunters see at conventional distances—it's not supposed to. With petals that open instantly and peel back uniformly every time, the Terminal Ascent transfers more energy to the animal on impact and carves straight, deadly wound channels at all velocities.
There’s never been anything like Federal Premium Terminal Ascent. Almost as remarkable as the bullet itself is the process used to build it. Take a behind-the-scenes look at how we craft the best all-range big game bullet ever made.
When we launched Federal Premium Terminal Ascent, it rewrote the book on hunting bullet design. These videos reveal the key features that set it apart.
With the combined power of robust bonding, the Slipstream polymer tip and AccuChannel grooving, Terminal Ascent achieves what no other bullet can—true all-range accuracy and terminal performance.
With an exclusive hollow core, the Slipstream polymer tip initiates expansion of Terminal Ascent’s bonded jacket and core at distances far beyond the effective limits of comparable bullets.
Although typical bullet grooving can hit ballistic coefficients hard, Terminal Ascent uses AccuChannel groove technology to minimize drag while providing better accuracy across a wider range of rifles.
