Federal Premium would very much like their new (at the time of writing) 7mm Backcountry cartridge to take off. It comes as no surprise that they should have loaded it with the Terminal Ascent: one of the finest hunting bullets ever to topple deer and elk.
The 170 grain Terminal Ascent delivers a decisive blow to its target in the form of deep penetration (secured by its bonded jacket and core) and wide expansion (catalyzed by its one-of-a-kind Slipstream tip). The Terminal Ascent’s tip, boat tail, and AccuChannel technology all add up to give the bullet a 0.327 BC (if fired from a 20” barrel). In that case, its ballistic performance looks like this:
0 yds; 3,000 fps; 3,398 ft lbs; -1.50”
100 yds; 2,856 fps; 3,080 ft lbs; 1.38”
200 yds; 2,716 fps; 2,785 ft lbs; -0.01”
300 yds; 2,580 fps; 2,513 ft lbs; -6.11”
400 yds; 2,447 fps; 2,261 ft lbs; -17.45”
500 yds; 2,319 fps; 2,030 ft lbs; -34.60”
Got a 24” barrel? Then you should expect a 0.325 G7 BC, and ballistic performance that looks closer to this:
0 yds; 3,150 fps; 3,746 ft lbs; -1.50”
100 yds; 3,001 fps; 3,400 ft lbs; 1.19”
200 yds; 2,856 fps; 3,080 ft lbs; 0.02”
300 yds; 2,716 fps; 2,784 ft lbs; -5.42”
400 yds; 2,579 fps; 2,510 ft lbs; -15.59”
500 yds; 2,445 fps; 2,257 ft lbs; -30.98
