Federal PB308TA1 Therminal Ascent Component Premium 30 Cal .308 175 gr Terminal Ascent 50 Per Box

The Federal Premium Terminal Ascent .308 175gr component bullet gives handloaders a match-grade long-range projectile designed for hunting performance across variable distances. Built on a bonded copper and lead core construction, these bullets deliver the penetration and weight retention you need whether you're loading for a 300-yard deer stand or pushing beyond 600 yards on open country. The 175-grain .308 weight works across popular cartridges where distance matters—think .308 Winchester, .300 Win Mag, and similar platforms—and the sleek profile and high ballistic coefficient help you cut wind drift and maintain a flatter trajectory downrange.

What sets Terminal Ascent apart for the handloader is Federal's Slipstream polymer tip, engineered to initiate expansion at velocities 200 fps lower than comparable designs. That means more reliable opening on distant shots where velocity has dropped, and more consistent performance when game is close. The copper shank bonds to the lead core to keep the bullet together through impact, preserving momentum for deep, straight-line penetration. Pair that with AccuChannel groove technology—those precisely cut channels reduce drag and improve accuracy out of your rifle without adding complexity to your load development.

Each box contains 50 component bullets ready for your reloading press. Whether you're fine-tuning loads for a precision rifle or working up ammunition tailored to your specific rifle's twist rate and barrel length, Terminal Ascent gives you the ballistic and terminal performance of a premium hunting round without the factory ammunition price tag. For serious long-range hunters and precision reloaders who want to control every variable, these are the bullets that earn their place in the bench.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rifle cartridges can I reload with .308 175gr Terminal Ascent bullets?

The .308 diameter and 175-grain weight are designed for popular long-range cartridges such as .308 Winchester and .300 Win Mag. Always verify bullet diameter and weight compatibility with your specific cartridge and published load data before beginning reloading.

How does the Slipstream tip improve performance at distance?

The Slipstream polymer tip is engineered to expand reliably at velocities 200 fps lower than comparable bullet designs, which means more consistent expansion on game at extended ranges where bullet velocity naturally declines.

Are these bullets suitable for long-range hunting?

Yes. The high ballistic coefficient, bonded construction, and match-grade accuracy make Terminal Ascent a solid choice for handloaders building precision long-range hunting ammunition. The bonded core retains weight for deep penetration across variable ranges.

How many bullets are in a box?

Each box contains 50 component bullets.
