Federal took all the lessons learned during the past few decades building its own proprietary bullets and poured all that knowledge and experience into creating the company's best hunting bullet to date.

The company credits the use of some of its existing, time-tested bullet designs to inspire the development of this new hunting bullet. Proven designs such as Trophy Bonded Bear Claw, Trophy Bonded Tip and Edge TLR all helped pave the way to create Terminal Ascent.
