Federal Premium Terminal Ascent Ammunition 7mm PRC 155 Grain Polymer Tip 20RD

Federal Premium Terminal Ascent 7mm PRC 155-grain ammunition delivers match-grade long-range accuracy with the penetration and expansion reliability hunters need for big game. Built on bonded-construction technology, this round pairs a copper shank with a bonded lead core to retain weight through heavy bone and muscle, making it equally effective at extended range or close quarters where velocity is lower and controlled expansion matters most.

The Terminal Ascent's patented Slipstream polymer tip is engineered to initiate expansion at velocities 200 fps lower than comparable hunting designs—a real advantage when long-range shots drop your round into thinner air. The bullet's long, sleek profile and AccuChannel groove technology work together to minimize drag and wind drift, flattening your trajectory and boosting your ballistic coefficient to .586. That translates to less holdover adjustment and more forgiving wind calls on hunts where those details decide success.

Loaded to a 3,100 fps muzzle velocity and packaged in convenient 20-round boxes, Terminal Ascent rounds give you the velocity for flat shooting without sacrificing the accuracy and energy retention that matter when your tag is on the line. Whether you're shooting a long-range hunting rifle or working up loads at the bench, this is serious ammunition built for serious hunters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Terminal Ascent polymer tip different from standard hunting bullet designs?

Federal's patented Slipstream polymer tip is designed to initiate expansion at velocities 200 fps lower than comparable hunting bullets. That means cleaner expansion even on longer-range shots where velocity has dropped, improving terminal performance across a wider range of distances and impact speeds.

Is the Terminal Ascent suitable for both close and long-range hunting?

Yes. The bonded construction (copper shank plus bonded lead core) provides weight retention and deep penetration whether you're shooting at close range or extending to distance. The low-velocity expansion design makes it reliable across both scenarios.

What is the ballistic coefficient and why does it matter?

The Terminal Ascent carries a ballistic coefficient of .586, which is considered extremely high. A higher BC means the bullet retains velocity and energy better downrange, resulting in less wind drift, less bullet drop, and flatter trajectories—all critical factors for long-range hunting accuracy.

What's included in the box?

Each box contains 20 rounds of Federal Premium Terminal Ascent 7mm PRC 155-grain ammunition.
