Terminal Ascent Bullets?

[lancetkenyon]

The meplats on your bullets look smashed and all of a different rate, none of my bullets tips look like that, all are sleek with no deformation, even on the factory 7mm Rem Mag ammo all the tips are immaculate , You didn't buy the "pulled" bullets on Gunbroker perchance did ya ? some fella was selling a bunch of them with tips that looked like that

They were not mine. I don't know where my buddy got them.

Was in Sportsmans Warehouse an hour ago and they had a pile of 7mm Rem Mag ammo, picked up 7 more boxes for my 7mm & my dads ... just checked all the bullet tips on the ammo and all are 100% nice & pointy with no deformation

That's where all the components are going lately, factory ammo.

Seems like it's not going to be available any time soon.

The 175 gr. 30 cal is for sale on the Federal site now, but they always jack their prices up to buy direct from Federal

All of them are currently unavailable.

At least you got notified; I never got any notification. It probably went quickly.

 

[floyd kittrell]

Yes Sir , you are correct, they are all gone.

The Hornady 178 grain ELD-X are widely available and have a comparable BC. That's what I've been shooting lately over some Ramshot TAC.

The 130 grain TA bullets shoot extremely well in my 6.5SAUM Improved.

I would really like to find some .308 175 and 200 grain for my 308 and 300 Norma respectively.

Anyone know anything about availability of Federal's Terminal Ascent Bullets?

Been looking for them and are back ordered or overdue.

Just heard about them from a friend and would really like to try them out. Looks like the best solution to all ranges large animal hunting I like (elk, moose, brown bear!)

They seem unavailable. I've been trying to find the heavy 308/200 grain bullet they make but nobody had them.

 

[Slick8]

I'd love to shoot them as they've shot and performed well for me in the and previous versions but I'm no longer interested until they be reliable regarding inventory.

I have a supply of Federal factory loaded 375 H&H with the 300 TBBC that have worked well, but these prices are insane! Qty of 25 for $168!

The integrity of the ELDX does not compare to the Ascent in my humble opinion . I would deem the Ascent as one of the best bullet designs on the market , for hunting . I am a hunter, have not shot critters with every bullet made . I only dabble in bench rest shooting for fun . These are killing machines .

They were available as reloading components back in 2020 and I was able to acquire 500 pcs of the 175 gr in 30 cal but was too late to to get the 200 gr, the 175 gr worked extremely well on moose at 3500 fps from a 300 RUM View attachment 397199....

I too bought 2 boxes back in 2020. Waiting patiently for more.......
