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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2 style=\"color: #ff6600; border-bottom: 2px solid #ff6600; padding-bottom: 10px;\"\u003eProduct Highlights:\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003ctable id=\"specifications-table\" style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 20px;\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #ff6600; color: white;\"\u003e \u003cth style=\"padding: 12px; text-align: left;\" colspan=\"2\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/th\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; border: 1px solid #ddd; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/blackbasin.com\/federal\"\u003eFederal\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; border: 1px solid #ddd; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eProduct Line\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003ePremium Terminal Ascent\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; border: 1px solid #ddd; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eCaliber\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/blackbasin.com\/rifle-ammo\/7.62x51-.308\/\"\u003e.308 Winchester \/ 7.62x51mm\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; border: 1px solid #ddd; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eBullet Weight\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e175 grains\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; border: 1px solid #ddd; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eBullet Type\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eTerminal Ascent (Polymer Tipped)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; border: 1px solid #ddd; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eMuzzle Velocity\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e2600 fps\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; border: 1px solid #dddddd;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMuzzle Energy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e2627 ft-lbs\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; border: 1px solid #dddddd;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBallistic Coefficient\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e.520\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; border: 1px solid #ddd; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eBoxes Per Box\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e20\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"max-width: 1000px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 20px;\"\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch2 style=\"color: #ff6600; border-bottom: 2px solid #ff6600; padding-bottom: 10px;\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-style: italic; color: #666;\"\u003eThe \u003cspan itemprop=\"name\"\u003eFederal Premium Terminal Ascent .308 Winchester 175 Grain Ammunition\u003c\/span\u003e offers impressive performance characteristics that make it an excellent choice for self-defense and hunting applications.
