Best Uses

Plan a real range day with this box. Zero at 100 or 200 yards, then check drops at 300, 400 and beyond so you know your holds. The bonded construction helps the bullet stay together on close shots, and the tip and high BC keep it flying flat on far ones. That wide window is what western hunters want when one hunt can offer a 60-yard shot in timber or a 450-yard shot across a basin. Federal Terminal Ascent 30-06 175 grain is a one-box answer for elk, mule deer and mountain game.

FAQ

Is 30-06 good for elk?
Yes. A bonded bullet in the 175 to 180 grain range is a common elk load in 30-06. Practice at the ranges you plan to shoot and place your shots with care.

How far can a 30-06 shoot?
A 30-06 bullet can fly miles, but useful hunting range is much shorter. With a high-BC bullet like this one, skilled shooters can stretch past 400 yards after solid practice.

What is a bonded polymer tip bullet?
It is a hunting bullet whose core is fused to its jacket and whose nose carries a polymer tip. The tip helps flight and expansion, and the bond helps the bullet hold together.

Is nickel-plated brass reloadable?
Yes. This load’s nickel-plated brass uses Boxer primers and is listed as reloadable. Inspect plated cases closely, since the plating can flake on worn brass.
