How We Build Terminal Ascent | Federal Ammunition

[@sunshynjunky]

This is legit ammo. I just finished a week of hunting elk. We took 3 with my 300wsm. 194yds, 330yds, 424yds. At all distances, the bullet passed through leaving a devastating wound channel. I get very good accuracy at sub moa 5 shot groups. Usually in the 3/4 range. The bullet flies extremely well and performed well at distance. This is a very good bullet.

[@jakeshepard9931]

So... you shot three elk with one tag, huh? Three hunters do not go hunting with one rifle. C'mon man! 😁

[@ESC-AZ88]

@@jakeshepard9931 this is hilarious but we’ve killed 4 deer in a one week hunt with the same rifle…good ole’ Sako Roughtech Pro 300WM is a beast!

[@jakeshepard9931]

@ESC-AZ88 What kind of hunting party only takes one rifle? The real story is... one person shot four deer and filled four tags, while the other three drank beers. Ssshhhhh, I won't tell 🤫

[@ESC-AZ88]

The other rifles were not capable of long range, the situation at hand called for long distance shooting and proved successful

[@nmelkhunter1]

Sounds like a story. A big story.

[@jonathanrogers9961]

As a shooter and reloader, this is some great content!

[@nismoracer15]

This is the most advanced deer round I’ve personally used. Love love that it’s close in DOPE to my Federal Gold 175 SMK

[@johnnorman7708]

Well, the bullet sounds very impressive. Way beyond anything I could ever dream of needing.

[@nathan22outdoors8]

i used them this year. they work extremely well, i was using the 175gr in 308, left a golf ball sized hole on the entrance let alone the exit, deer didn't drop much blood and almost seemed like i made a bad shot but only went about 30 yards, internal damage was a different story, couldn't have asked for a better result.

[@bryanv.8066]

Please Please bring back your High Energy rounds, sure do miss em

[@Paul-q3m7k]

These are my favourite hunting bullets . They are like a copper bonded hybrid that will open on tilting skinned game and stay together on large game . Awesome performance on game

[@lurebenson7722]

I have used the Barns Bullets from the X bullets to today's TSX - TTSX and LRX bullets and I am not changing just over a KZbin commercial. As an Alaskan hunting guide, I am not putting my life at risk of being killed by a brown bear with an untested bullet and when tracking a Hugh wounded Brown bear is not time to try a new bullet.

[@ESC-AZ88]

@@lurebenson7722then why are you here? No one asked your opinion. Stick to what works for you

[@danconley6463]

This is outstanding! Federal..keep doing the work and setting the standard. You are pioneers in the industry. Now.. do what no one else has done.. build a bonded core 225g-250g hunting specific (terminal ascent) bullet that can be shot from the 300 prc. And other 30 cal. Magnums. The 300prc chambering is paving the way for new heavy for caliber 30 cal magnum bullets. Tip: take what Hornady started and take it to where it needs to be. FYI 30 cal bonded hunting bullets over 215g are non existent.. this is a niche you are missing out on with a need that can be filled by FEDERAL. Elk hunters the world over will thank you. You're welcome...

[@stephanlopez7640]

They are already making these in 215gr

[@navyguy6431]

This would be nice in 25-06. I wish you made it!

[@danielrobey1759]

100 gr Barnes tsx is awesome in the 25/06!

[@foubert45]

Great bullet! Ramp up production of the 155gr 6.8/.277 for reloading please!

[@Matt-en1kn]

These bullets are awesome

[@darrylpacholko5495]

My favorite bullet

[@combatcurt]

Pretty straightforward good video

[@mtower235]

It’s definitely doing well for me in 308

[@nathan22outdoors8]

same, golf ball sized hole on enterance and exit, and very accurate

[@jamesmooney5348]

Good jod Federal, good job!

[@leonardogarcia2506]

Are they still being sold as component bullets!? I really need the 200 grain pills! I was impressed with the 155s in my 7mag! They shot 3130 in a 24” barrel and shot at about 1/4” at 100 yards. They shot 1/2” groups in my dads 7mm rem mag. The expansion was beautiful at 688 yards on a elk.

[@shaneboyle9982]

It be great if we could find those components

[@TheWalkWithAl]

I’ve got to give those a try this hunting season sounds awesome👍

[@charlesmullins3238]

$73bx I gave for 155 7mm…October…I wish they were sold bulk to reload like they said…I’ve never seen em and load every single day…

[@zachh72]

Sure would be nice to find some for the 7mm prc in 170 grain!

[@Garandasaurus]

These bullets sound pretty wicked good. To bad components are difficult to obtain now.

[@dougkahler7152]

So why aren’t there any available for reloading components? Been looking for them for two years now. So you have an issue with honesty if you don’t have any availability into years time.

[@Manbunmen65]

24 inch Bergara 6.5 PRC 130 grain terminal ascent 3150-3180 fps zero at 200 9 inches down at 425 yards on paper

[@johnkaraphillis754]

I’ve never seen them sold as a component for reloading. I wouldn’t mind trying them since Nosler has dropped the ball on the handloading community.

[@ingelri2]

They're on the web site, but they're never available to actually buy.

[@charlesmullins3238]

I just pulled my 20yr old box of silvertips I just read have noslers in em all this time…no wonder they performed so good all these yrs…1rd yr all a man needed for several yrs…3100fps 150gr

[@FC2ESWS]

Awesome video, just keep the music down a little lower next time.

[@morenothing4u]

How much wear is that nickel plating going to cause on rifling?

[@mmorris6341]

please produce in 6.8 western

[@nathan22outdoors8]

oo that would be a great combo

[@JosephWilhoit-l2x]

When are these coming out in 7mmprc I'm waiting.....

[@brentbyas8357]

I'd love to try some problem is u can't get it anywhere most websites say federal discontinued it. Oh well guess I'll buy Hornady ammo for my 300 prc till federal steps up. Well if federal ever does...

[@charlesmullins3238]

Try some tipped gamekings or tmk either one…just loaded 100 140gr tgk 6.5prc@3040fps for 24” carbon waypoint..absolutely destroys jugs@200yrds

[@JimBeck-z1d]

As always- you get what you pay for ! 🇨🇦

[@ivanhamlyn]

Looks like the same bullet as the Trophy bonded tip

[@aireydc]

Wow! 😮

[@MNBuckhunter]

my tikka t3x 270 is stiff when closing the bolt. I feed it core lokt tipped closes no problem. What is causing that with the terminal ascent?

[@ValcoBayrunner]

Federal ammo is loaded pretty hot compared to Remington velocities. Your chamber throat has tight tolerances and a warm load expands your brass making your bolt stiff.

[@donaldpowers8331]

I have been trying to find TA in 27 and 30 cal, NOT available anywhere in Canada. By the reviews on KZbin they are what I have been looking for. I contacted customer service and unfortunately they do not have a timeline for when they will be available to reloaders. If only there were more hours in a day?? My 270 WSm and 300 WM have tried multiple manufacturers bullets and its like being a kid waiting for Christmas, and his sleigh broke down. So I sent my address to customer service to see if they have a Santa in their office..

[@msa4548]

I'm waiting for this to come to the .375 caliber.

[@m444ss]

i gotta get some

[@threequarter4071]

338 cal please!

[@F15ElectricEagle]

I'll just stay with Barnes TSX and Nosler Partition.

[@nathan22outdoors8]

terminal ascent is best of both worlds, long range accuracy of the TSX but with guaranteed dependable expansion of a nosler partition.

[@JosephWilhoit-l2x]

No cap this is the best bullet made have a friend that uses them waiting on the 170 grain 7mm prc to come out

[@ValcoBayrunner]

Nosler bullet costs are getting out of hand. $100 a box for Trophy Grade, over $1.50 a bullet for reloaders

[@F15ElectricEagle]

@@ValcoBayrunner - Yeah, but it seems to be true of all premium grade hunting bullets regardless of the brand.

[@jaymaz]

Can't find this ammo anymore in canada

[@Gaumik-c2l]

Don't know what caliber your looking for but try The Gun Dealer in McAdam NB, they ship Canada wide

[@thereindeertherabbitthebat592]

SCIENCE!!! 🤔

[@tripplebeards3427]

That’s great, now start producing brass that doesn’t crack the necks after firing.

[@royjohnson465]

Looks very good, but “all” copper alloy (no lead or lead free) bullets are the very best way to go now.

[@edstettin6799]

Yeah, now good luck trying to find the bullets to reload.

[@ingelri2]

If only I could actually find some to reload with.......

[@shinrapresident7010]

I really hate the guitar riffs in every stupid bullet advertisement. I just want to hear the information.

[@NorthRiverGuide]

Average ES out of a fixed rifle showed 1.83" to be a pass? What the heck is this crap?

[@ESC-AZ88]

That was at 200 yards, sub moa = a pass 👍

[@NorthRiverGuide]

​@ESC-AZ88 a 3 group avg shot in a tunnel from a rail gun. With one group being well over moa, these really arent very consistent. A far stretch from match grade.

[@NorthRiverGuide]

@ESC-AZ88 in basic terms they are using a system that doesn't hold tight tolerances, but sounds good to the folks who are bad at math.

[@taterbug70]

Yeah, that's how I do it at home, too.

[@fredbartlett4394]

I've been waiting for years to get some federal terminal ascent 7mm ,155gr ,some hard to come bye in Canada, it sucks.or even 300wsm.just saying...

[@krisshepherd740]

I just bought 2 boxes of the 270win 136g TA ammo. Has anyone on here shot elk or deer with this round yet?
