Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Terminal Ascent bullet different from other hunting bullets?
The Federal Terminal Ascent features a bonded core combined with a rear shank that resists fragmentation, ensuring deep penetration and high weight retention even when impacting heavy bone. The Slipstream polymer tip initiates reliable expansion across a wide range of impact velocities — from close, fast impacts to distant, slower strikes — making it one of the most versatile hunting bullets available for the 7mm PRC.
Is the 7mm PRC 170 gr Terminal Ascent suitable for elk-sized game?
Absolutely. The 170-grain Terminal Ascent is an excellent choice for elk, moose, black bear, and other large North American game. Its bonded construction and controlled expansion ensure the bullet reaches the vitals even after passing through heavy shoulder muscle or bone, while the high ballistic coefficient keeps energy levels strong at extended distances commonly encountered in open-country elk hunting.
How does the 7mm PRC compare to other 7mm cartridges for long-range hunting?
The 7mm PRC is a modern, purpose-built long-range hunting cartridge that outperforms older 7mm options like the 7mm Rem Mag in terms of efficiency and pressure management. It is specifically designed to take advantage of high-BC, heavy-for-caliber bullets like the 170 gr Terminal Ascent, offering flatter trajectories, less wind drift, and more retained energy downrange compared to most other 7mm chamberings — making it an outstanding choice for open-country and mountain hunting.
