Details
Put your seat back and your tray table down. We are now reaching our … Terminal Ascent. It’s Federal Premium’s state-of-the-art hunting bullet! Effective at any range the 7mm PRC can realistically reach, and truly deadly to whichever critter gets on the wrong side of its polymer tip.
That polymer tip has a name: the “Slipstream,” which Federal designed to initiate expansion at velocities 200 fps lower than other comparable bullets are capable of. The Terminal Ascent pairs reliably wide expansion with deep penetration. That’s the welcome by-product of its thick copper shank, which is tightly bonded to the bullet’s dense lead core.
All its accuracy-enhancing features – which include AccuChannel groove technology that optimizes bearing surface – add up to grant this cartridge’s Terminal Ascent a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.646 (by Federal’s measure). In practice that looks like ~77% velocity retention at 500 yards with 1,932 ft lbs accompanying striking power.
And the kicker? Nickel-plated brass cases, which are just as corrosion resistant as they are handsome! Smooth nickel also helps a rifle feed and eject ammo more reliably.
