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 video tests the performance of Federal 5.56mm 62gr XM556SBCT3 Tactical Bonded soft point ammunition, also known as FBIT3 or Trophy Bonded Bear Claw (TBBC). The test utilizes an AR-15 with a 10.5" barrel, firing into calibrated 10% ordnance gelatin to evaluate its effectiveness for home defense at close range and its downrange capability for longer barrels. Key performance metrics like penetration, retained weight, and expansion are measured and discussed, along with velocity data from multiple shots. The video aims to determine if this specific ammunition is among the best for .223/5.56mm defense applications.
