Federal Premium's .308 Win 175gr Terminal Ascent ammunition is part of their line of long-range hunting cartridges. The 175-grain bullet is designed to expand reliably across a wide range of velocities, making it effective at varying distances. It features a bonded construction to prevent core-jacket separation and ensure deep penetration. The bullet's boat tail and polymer tip contribute to its high ballistic coefficient, which helps resist wind drift and maintain a flatter trajectory. These rounds are loaded in nickel-plated brass cases with matched primers and propellants for consistent performance. While primarily intended for big game hunting, the ammunition's accuracy also makes it suitable for long-range target shooting. As with all hunting ammunition, shot placement and adherence to ethical hunting practices remain crucial for clean, humane harvests.
