Federal Premium Terminal Ascent 300 Winchester Magnum ammo bridges the performance gap between close-range power and extreme-distance precision — a bonded hunting bullet that expands reliably at velocities 200 fps lower than comparable designs while maintaining the ballistic coefficient required for flat trajectories beyond 600 yards. The 200-grain bonded polymer tip projectile exits at 2810 feet per second with 3506 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, yet the patented Slipstream tip and AccuChannel groove technology work together to minimize drag and flatten drop curves across hunting distances where wind and gravity dominate shot placement.
Built for the Box
Federal Premium loads Terminal Ascent projectiles with bonded lead cores and copper shanks that retain weight through bone and heavy muscle. The nickel-plated brass case resists corrosion in wet field conditions, and Boxer primers allow reloading for shooters who develop custom loads. The bullet’s G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.608 reduces wind drift by approximately 15 percent compared to conventional 200-grain soft points — measurable at 400 yards, decisive at 700.

Safe Handling & Compliance
Federal law requires purchasers to be at least 18 years old for rifle and shotgun ammunition, and at least 21 for handgun ammunition. Ammunition cannot be shipped to certain states, counties, and cities — review our ammunition shipping restrictions before ordering. Store ammunition in a cool, dry location away from heat sources and out of reach of unauthorized users.
- Observe the four rules: treat every firearm as loaded, never point at anything you are not willing to destroy, keep your finger off the trigger until sights are on target, and know your target and what lies beyond it.
- Verify current state and local ammunition purchasing laws in your jurisdiction before ordering — some localities impose additional transfer or storage requirements.
- This ammunition contains lead components. California Proposition 65 requires disclosure that lead exposure causes cancer and reproductive harm. Handle with care and wash hands after range sessions.
