Federal’s Terminal Ascent bullet could very well prove to be the best all-around hunting bullet made by anyone

The Federal Terminal Ascent hunting bullet is the best bullet the company has ever made. And it just might be the best all-around hunting bullet made by anyone, period.

The short video below shows a hunter taking a Texas aoudad at 600 yards with Federal Custom Shop Rifle Ammo loaded with a Terminal Ascent bullet. Other equipment used: Mesa Precision Arms Rifle, Swarovski Z8 Scope, Silencer Central Banish 30 Suppressor.

There’s some history that prompted the new bullet’s development. A couple years ago Federal introduced the Edge TLR (Terminal Long Range) bullet. It’s an outstanding big-game bullet and provides the best across-the-board on-impact expansion and penetration characteristics I’ve seen. As I wrote in the October 2018 issue of ST, I tested it exhaustively on a broad spectrum of African game from a wide range of distances.

As a long-range bullet, it had only one Achilles’ heel: Accuracy wasn’t quite what long-range shooters want. Although the Edge TLR bullet regularly produced one-MOA accuracy in rifles that liked it, the design was just that: a one-MOA bullet. Even in accuracy-tuned handloads in premium custom barrels, it was not a consistent sub-MOA projectile.
