This video provides an "American Rifleman First Look" at Federal Premium's new Terminal Ascent hunting ammunition. The description highlights that Federal has leveraged decades of experience and proprietary bullet design knowledge, drawing inspiration from proven designs like Trophy Bonded Bear Claw, Trophy Bonded Tip, and Edge TLR, to create what they believe is their best hunting bullet to date. The focus is on the development and features of this new hunting round.
This review details the performance of Federal's 5.56mm 62gr FBIT3 (XM556SBCT3) ammunition in ballistic gelatin. Tested from a 10.5-inch barrel, the round demonstrated excellent barrier blind performance, immediate expansion, and consistent weight retention. It achieved textbook terminal ballistics, making it a top contender for self-defense applications, especially when compared to non-bonded OTM rounds.
