Federal Premium Terminal Ascent Ammunition 270 Winchester Short Magnum (WSM) 136 Grain Polymer Tip Bonded Boat Tail 20RD

Federal Premium Terminal Ascent 270 WSM ammunition brings match-grade long-range performance to the .270 Winchester Short Magnum, engineered for hunters who demand terminal consistency from distant yardages down to close range. This 136-grain load pairs a bonded lead core with a copper shank and proprietary Slipstream polymer tip, delivering controlled expansion and deep penetration across the velocity spectrum—a critical advantage when hunting variable terrain or when planning shots you can't fully predict.

The Slipstream tip is designed to initiate expansion at velocities 200 fps lower than comparable polymer-tip designs, meaning your shot retains lethality even when range eats into velocity. The bullet's high ballistic coefficient (.508) and AccuChannel groove technology work together to tighten groups and reduce wind drift and drop—factors that compound over the distances where the 270 WSM excels. At a 3240 fps muzzle velocity, this round produces a flat trajectory that rewards precision shooting without demanding constant hold adjustments.

Built for western big-game hunters, backyard range sessions, and anyone running a 270 WSM who refuses to compromise between velocity and reliability, Terminal Ascent ammo delivers the accuracy and terminal performance expected from a premium Federal load. Each box contains 20 rounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What firearms does this ammo work in?

Federal Terminal Ascent 270 WSM is loaded for the .270 Winchester Short Magnum cartridge. Use only in rifles chambered for that caliber.

Is this ammo suitable for long-range hunting?

Yes. The high ballistic coefficient and flat trajectory make this load a solid choice for extended-range shooting. The Slipstream tip and bonded construction are designed to maintain terminal performance across a broad velocity range, supporting hunts where you may take shots at varying distances.

What's the difference between Terminal Ascent and other bonded hunting bullets?

Federal's Slipstream polymer tip is designed to initiate expansion at velocities 200 fps lower than comparable designs, and the AccuChannel groove reduces drag for a flatter trajectory and less wind drift. The bonded core ensures weight retention for deep penetration in heavy-boned game.

How many rounds are in a box?

Each box contains 20 rounds.
