Federal Premium Terminal Ascent Ammunition 270 Winchester 136 Grain Polymer Tip Bonded Boat Tail 20RD

Federal Premium Terminal Ascent 270 Win ammunition brings match-grade precision to big-game hunting with a 136-grain polymer-tip bullet engineered for both close-range stopping power and extended-range performance. This bonded hunting round combines a sleek ballistic design with Federal's proven Terminal Ascent platform, delivering reliable expansion and deep penetration across the ranges where most hunts actually happen. Whether you're hunting mule deer in open country or elk in timbered drainages, this cartridge gives you the confidence that comes from a bullet built to perform.

The Terminal Ascent's Slipstream polymer tip is the real standout here—it initiates expansion at velocities 200 fps lower than comparable designs, meaning you get consistent bullet performance even on longer shots where velocity has dropped. That's especially valuable in 270 Win, where you might be stretching distance on open-country hunts. The bonded copper shank and lead core work together to retain weight through tough hide and bone, resisting deflection and fragmenting when it shouldn't.

Ballistic efficiency matters on long shots, and Federal's AccuChannel groove technology does the heavy lifting there—it reduces air drag and improves stability without sacrificing accuracy. A ballistic coefficient of .508 keeps your bullet on a flatter trajectory and cuts wind drift, both critical factors when you're glassing from a ridge or shooting across a canyon. The 3000 fps muzzle velocity is standard for the 270 Win platform, so this round will pattern predictably in your rifle.

You get 20 rounds per box, enough for a hunting trip, practice session, or to verify your rifle's zero before heading afield. Federal Premium ammunition is built to exacting standards, so you can focus on fieldcraft instead of worrying about consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of game is this 270 Win ammo designed for?

Federal Premium Terminal Ascent is built for big-game hunting. The 136-grain bullet weight and bonded construction make it suitable for deer, elk, and similar-sized game at hunting ranges.

Will this round work well at longer distances?

Yes. The Slipstream polymer tip initiates expansion at low velocities, so it performs reliably on longer shots where velocity has dropped. The high ballistic coefficient (.508) also helps the bullet maintain energy and trajectory at extended range.

What's the difference between Terminal Ascent and standard hunting ammo?

Terminal Ascent combines a bonded bullet core with an exclusive Slipstream polymer tip that expands at 200 fps lower than comparable designs. This means more consistent expansion from close range to extended distances, plus the bonded construction resists fragmentation for deeper, more reliable penetration.

How many rounds are in a box?

Each box contains 20 rounds.
