The Federal Terminal Ascent .300 Winchester Short Magnum load (Federal part no. P300WSMTA1) packages a long, high-ballistic-coefficient bullet in a short-action magnum case. The 200-grain Terminal Ascent has a Slipstream polymer tip that initiates expansion at velocities 200 fps lower than comparable designs, and Federal rates the muzzle velocity at 2810 fps. Bonded construction with a copper shank keeps the bullet together for deep penetration whether the shot is close or distant. It suits a .300 WSM hunting rifle on big game at any range.
