Who This Is For
Federal's 270 WSM Terminal Ascent is purpose-built for hunters who pursue big game — deer, elk, pronghorn, and similar species — at both close and extended ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Terminal Ascent different from other Federal Premium hunting bullets?
The Terminal Ascent uses a bonded core and a specially skived polymer tip designed to initiate expansion across a wide velocity range — from 1,300 fps all the way up to 3,000+ fps. This means the bullet performs consistently whether you're shooting at close range or stretching it to 500 yards and beyond, unlike many standard cup-and-core bullets that can fail to expand at lower impact velocities or shed significant weight at close, high-velocity impacts.
Is Federal 270 WSM Terminal Ascent suitable for elk and larger big game?
Yes. The 136-grain Terminal Ascent is an excellent choice for elk, mule deer, whitetail, and similarly sized big game. Its bonded construction retains up to 99% of its original weight on impact, ensuring deep, straight-line penetration through heavy muscle and bone — a critical factor for clean, ethical kills on larger animals. For game larger than elk, such as moose or bison, a heavier caliber may be worth considering.
How should I store this ammunition to maintain its performance?
Store Federal Premium 270 WSM ammunition in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and humidity. Keeping rounds in their original factory box or an airtight ammo can will help preserve primer and powder integrity over the long term. Properly stored centerfire rifle ammunition can remain reliable for a decade or more.
