Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Federal Terminal Ascent different from standard bonded hunting bullets?
The Terminal Ascent bullet features Federal's exclusive AccuChannel groove technology and a specially engineered bonded core that initiates expansion reliably even at low impact velocities — down to around 1,500 fps. This makes it exceptionally versatile, performing consistently whether you're shooting at 50 yards or 500 yards, unlike many hunting bullets that are optimized for only one end of the velocity spectrum.
Is the 200-grain 308 Win Terminal Ascent suitable for elk and other large game?
Absolutely. The 200-grain projectile is one of the heavier options available in 308 Winchester, providing deeper penetration and greater retained energy at distance — qualities that make it well-suited for elk, mule deer, black bear, and similar-sized big game. The bonded construction ensures the bullet holds together on impact and drives through heavy bone and muscle reliably.
Can this ammunition be reloaded after firing?
Yes. Federal Terminal Ascent ammunition is loaded in high-quality nickel-plated brass cases that are Boxer-primed, making them fully reloadable with standard reloading tools and components. The nickel plating also adds corrosion resistance, making once-fired brass a great starting point for handloaders who want to replicate premium factory performance.
