I finally get a chance to make some handloads with the Federal Terminal Ascent bullets! I use 6.5 Staball powder from Winchester, and Lapua brass.

There is a KZfaq channel called simple minded fella. This is one of his favorites. He loads bullets down to see how they expand at lower velocity. Long range out west hunter.

Someone needs to take up the mantle and continue his work. He’s been inactive for a while and there’s still plenty of bullets to test. It’s a shame someone with more resources hasn’t taken up his methodology. Imagine how much excellent data someone like Kentucky Ballistics could generate if he wasn’t so busy doing the same stupid clickbait video over and over.

@@scottscheuerman8714 It's a 9 twist. I'm backing out of the fast twist craze in favor of that proven fact that the slowest twist that will stabilize your bullet is the most accurate. I've found it to be true and when it comes to mono bullets, they are long per weight anyway. So I keep the 280 Rem and 280AI at 9 or even 9.5 twist since I don't plan to shoot bullets heavier than 168s in these. I have 8 twist in my 7PRCs and could have easily gone 8.5. Plus, you sacrifice velocity with faster twists. I went with an 8 twist in one of my 300WSMs which is very accurate but since the 210 Berger is the heaviest I'll shoot I should have gone 11 twist. Now I have about 6 barrels on hand in 8 and 9 twist 30 cal and really should have ordered no faster than a 10 twist. I'm about to order a couple 7mm barrels for 708 and plan to go with 10 twist since I won't shoot heavier than 150 grain bullets in them

But there are plenty Bullets just as fine from other makers. Federal does not make the Bullets, they buy them from Speer, Hornady, Sierra Etc. Maybe T-Accent wont shoot well from your rifle. Don't get stuck with a brand or model. For performace comparisson check out Frontline Rejects. Like them as much as Buddy H Ballistics

@WillyK51 Frontline rejects is a great channel. I have no problem finding reloading components. I've used the factory TE and the bullet performs just how I want. This year I'm using hornady cx reloads for hunting. Want to try the tipped fusion but again not to be found. It comes down to personal preference and what the rifle likes. The factory te is ridiculous c @ st here thus reload

These are flat awesome bullets!!! IMHO the best bullets avalible to hand-loaders and hunters today. I had highest of hopes for 155's in my 7Mag. But discovered I have 1:10.25" twist not 1:9.5 as expected and because of the extra length afforded by the bullets design they will not stabilize for me. 😢😢

Don't know if you loaded close to lands or not but it might be worth exploring. I know Barnes like away from lands but don't know what these prefer. That 2821 load was reasonable. Already a usable load like the one before it. So seating depth changes might tighten it.
