Federal Premium has made its Terminal Ascent bullets available as a component, perfect for handloaders seeking a reliable hunting performer.

Federal combined a host of features in its new Terminal Ascent bullet to deliver balanced performance both up close and at distance.

Federal’s new Terminal Ascent features a bonded construction that penetrates deep on close targets, while its patented Slipstream polymer tip initiates expansion at velocities 200 fps lower than comparable designs.

Federal's new Terminal Ascent has been seriously re-engineered to be the best bullet, for all situations, that will give the best terminal performance available, whether at minimal velocity a long, long way from the muzzle, or loaded in a magnum cartridge with shot distances better measured in feet.

The Carbon Ascent is accurate enough for target-style, ragged-hole groups, light enough to barely notice on a long hike and still packs enough punch to make the post-shot walk to your quarry very short, provided you do your job.

The new Xtreme Ascent rifle combines the company's dual-lug Model 1999 cast action with a featherweight contour, button-rifled fluted barrel and a durable synthetic stock to create a rugged rifle that’s light enough to comfortably carry in even the toughest backcountry hunts.

The combination of the 210-grain Terminal Ascent and the 300 PRC is a big-game hunter’s dream: a big case capable of fine accuracy, mated with a fine projectile, fully capable of great performance at any range.

NRA E-Media's Tom Rickwalder captured these images while he and American Hunter Editor-in-Chief Scott Olmsted hunted game in Africa's Caprivi Strip. From crocs and wildebeest to hippos and elephants, the Kimber Caprivi and Mountain Ascent have helped to get the job done.

OtterBox has introduced its all-new Trooper soft cooler line with two offerings: the Trooper 20 and Trooper LT 30, both packed with features hunters will appreciate.
