The Federal Premium Terminal Ascent .300 Winchester Magnum 175-grain Bonded Polymer Tip load is an elite centerfire cartridge engineered for pinpoint accuracy and crushing terminal performance on big game at any distance. Standard hunting rounds force a frustrating compromise: they either expand too fast and shatter on close-range bone, or they fail to open at all at extended ranges when velocity drops. Federal eliminates this long-range bottleneck with the advanced Terminal Ascent projectile. By combining a hollow-core Slipstream polymer tip with a molecularly bonded copper-and-lead construction, this round ensures devastating expansion at low speeds while maintaining bone-crushing structural integrity during high-velocity, close-up impacts.
The technical advantage focuses on merging match-grade external aerodynamics with deep-penetrating hunting ballistics. Featuring an extended-ogive profile and patented AccuChannel grooves, this bullet slashes through the air to minimize drag, preserve downrange velocity, and flatten your trajectory. Upon hitting thick hide or heavy skeletal structures, the jacket and lead core remain molecularly fused. The solid copper shank drives forward with near 100% weight retention, punching a straight, deep wound channel through vital organs without deflecting or tearing apart.
Slinging its 175-grain payload at a roaring muzzle velocity of 3,030 FPS, this high-performance magnum delivers a sleek 0.520 G1 ballistic coefficient to defy harsh crosswinds. Built for the most demanding backcountry hunts, Federal loads this premium series with world-class Gold Medal match primers and temperature-stable propellants to eliminate shot-to-shot velocity variance in freezing mountain peaks or hot valleys. The entire cartridge is housed in a premium, weather-resistant nickel-plated brass case, guaranteeing glass-smooth chambering, flawless mechanical extraction, and exceptional reloadability across all weather conditions.
Key Benefits
- Slipstream Hollow-Core Polymer Tip: Patented tip design initiates immediate, reliable expansion even at low downrange velocities, while resisting mid-flight heat deformation.
- Molecularly Bonded Core & Copper Shank: Fuses the jacket and core together to prevent fragmentation, ensuring maximum weight retention and deep tracking through heavy bone.
- Aerodynamic AccuChannel Grooves: Specialized body channeling minimizes barrel friction and optimizes airflow around the bullet to drop drag and flatten trajectories.
- Nickel-Plated All-Weather Shellcases: Premium nickel-plated brass resists corrosion in wet environments and ensures effortless chambering and extraction during fast follow-up shots.
