Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Preferred .300 WM Elk Load?

Although a fan of Barnes TTSX and LRX, I do plan to try Federals new Terminal Ascent bullets.

The question for me is which caliber to try them in first. Don't need them in my 6,5s because both are heavy barrels that won't be going anywhere except maybe antelope hunting. Don't need a Terminal Ascent for that when I have other loads that shoot very well out to 600. I do have a couple .284" and six .308" bores where the Terminal Ascent would be a good choice.

When using the North Fork bullets (which I still do), I always thought the design would be improved with the addition of a polymer tip. The Terminal Ascent is essentially that design but with additional improvements - mono rear, bonded front, tipped and with different groove and shape geometry for higher B.C..
