Federal Ammunition Premium Terminal Ascent ammunition in .300 Winchester Short Magnum (part no. P300WSMTA1) loads a 200-grain bonded bullet built to perform at any range, from a close timber shot to a long crossing shot across a canyon. Federal starts every Premium load with the finest primers and clean-burning propellants, then houses this one in nickel-plated brass that resists corrosion and aids smooth extraction. Terminal Ascent’s bonded construction penetrates deep on close targets, while its patented Slipstream polymer tip initiates expansion at velocities 200 fps lower than comparable designs, so the bullet still opens up after it has lost speed at distance. For .300 WSM hunters who cannot predict the range of their shot before they take it, this rifle ammunition is built for exactly that uncertainty.
