Product Overview
The Federal 300 PRC Terminal Ascent delivers match-grade accuracy and terminal performance at extreme long range, making it one of the most capable hunting and precision loads available in the hard-hitting 300 PRC cartridge.
- Terminal Ascent bullet bonds core to jacket for controlled, reliable expansion
- Slipstream polymer tip initiates expansion at ultra-low velocities downrange
- AccuChannel groove technology reduces bearing surface and improves accuracy
- Bonded construction retains 65%+ weight for deep, lethal penetration on game
- Boat-tail design maximizes ballistic coefficient and preserves downrange energy
- Optimized for hunting at distances exceeding 400 yards with consistent performance
Who This Is For
This load is purpose-built for serious long-range hunters pursuing elk, mule deer, and other large North American game at extended distances, as well as precision rifle shooters who demand a hunting load that performs as precisely as it shoots. If you're running a 300 PRC rifle and need a round that transitions seamlessly from the bench to the field, Federal Terminal Ascent is the premium choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Terminal Ascent bullet different from standard bonded hunting bullets?
The Federal Terminal Ascent features a proprietary Slipstream polymer tip that initiates reliable expansion even at the reduced velocities found at extreme long range — a common failure point for standard bonded bullets. Combined with AccuChannel groove technology that reduces bearing surface for improved accuracy and the bonded core that retains weight for deep penetration, Terminal Ascent is engineered specifically to perform from the muzzle out to 1,000+ yards, making it superior to most traditional hunting projectile designs.
Is the 300 PRC with a 215-grain bullet suitable for elk and large game?
Absolutely. The 300 PRC cartridge was designed from the ground up for long-range hunting of large game, and the 215-grain Terminal Ascent bullet is ideally matched to it. With over 3,700 ft-lbs of muzzle energy and a very high ballistic coefficient, this load delivers the velocity, energy retention, and controlled expansion needed for clean, ethical kills on elk, moose, and similarly sized animals even at distances beyond 500 yards.
What rifles are chambered for 300 PRC, and will this ammo feed reliably?
The 300 PRC is chambered in a growing number of bolt-action rifles from manufacturers including Hornady, Christensen Arms, Browning, Savage, and Ruger, among others. Federal Terminal Ascent ammunition is loaded to SAAMI specifications with high-quality brass cases and consistent primers, so it will feed and function reliably in any properly headspaced 300 PRC chamber. Always confirm your rifle's chambering before purchasing.
