Federal PB308TA2 Therminal Ascent Component Premium 30 Cal .308 200 gr Terminal Ascent 50 Per Box

Federal Premium Terminal Ascent .308 Win 200gr component bullets give reloaders a match-grade hunting projectile engineered for consistent performance across a wide range of distances and impact velocities. Built on a bonded copper-and-lead construction that resists fragmentation, these bullets deliver the controlled expansion and weight retention serious handloaders expect when building ammunition for deer, elk, and long-range field shooting.

The Terminal Ascent's defining feature is its Slipstream polymer tip, which is engineered to initiate expansion at velocities 200 fps lower than traditional designs—a significant advantage when shots land at extended range or when velocity is reduced by bullet drop. That early-expansion window means more reliable performance on marginal hits and makes these bullets forgiving across the velocity spreads inherent in handloading. The long, aerodynamic profile delivers an extremely high ballistic coefficient, so your loads shoot flatter, drift less in wind, and retain energy downrange.

Accuracy is built in. Federal's proprietary AccuChannel groove technology reduces drag and improves concentricity, supporting the tight groups reloaders demand for precision rifle work. Whether you're chasing .308 Winchester loads for a precision bolt gun or a hunting rig, these 200-grain pills reward careful handloading with consistent velocity nodes and repeatable performance in the field.

This package includes 50 component bullets—enough for a solid test batch or to round out an existing load development series. For reloaders who refuse to compromise between accuracy, reliability, and terminal performance, Terminal Ascent bullets represent a proven choice across the long-range hunting community.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a component bullet, and can I use these in factory ammunition?

Federal Premium Terminal Ascent bullets are component bullets sold for handloaders to load into their own ammunition. They are not loaded into factory cartridges and should only be used in handloaded rounds assembled with appropriate powder, primers, and cases. If you do not reload, you'll want to purchase Federal's factory-loaded Terminal Ascent ammunition instead.

Are these bullets suitable for hunting, or just target shooting?

Terminal Ascent bullets are designed as hunting projectiles. The bonded construction and Slipstream tip are engineered to expand reliably on game at a wide range of impact velocities, making them suitable for hunting applications when loaded to appropriate velocities.

How many bullets are in one box?

Each box contains 50 component bullets.

Will these work in my .308 Winchester rifle?

Yes, these are .308 Winchester (also called 7.62 NATO) component bullets. They will work in any rifle chambered in .308 Winchester when loaded according to safe handloading practices and load data for this bullet weight and cartridge.
