Anyone have any insight on these new rounds that came out in January 2020? Making some pretty bold claims that it is the best most accurate hunting round.

Range Report - .30-06 Terminal Ascent 175gr
I have a couple of range sessions with this factory loaded ammo. It shot right around a minute at 100yds and 200yds on paper. Not quite as well as I had hoped, but for factory ammo for hunting it will work. Average velocity was 2729 out of a 22" proof SD of 13. However I stopped being able to...

The .30-06 flavor
I used it this past weekend to hunt axis with. I had crap accuracy with the 30/06 175gr Federal TLR ammo, and only slightly better results with the Hornady ELD-X 178’s. I was almost ready to sell the gun and give up but saw this new ammo, and did some research. I bought a couple boxes and went out this past weekend and was pleased with the group. Not match grade, but It shot significantly better than the TLR. Plus it killed a 34” axis, so I’m happy.
I‘m using a GAP made 30/06 with a fluted 26” Bartlien 1/10 5R barrel so I was really hoping it wasn’t the gun. Turned out Federal noticed a lot of QC and accuracy issues in the TLR rounds, and discontinued them. Went back to drawing board and came out with the Terminal Accent rounds.

Good to know. I have been using hornady eldx for hunting the past couple years so I got quite a few rounds of that in 30-06 and 6.5 creedmor. So I'm waiting to find a box of the TA and do some sort of controlled testing with barrel cooling and hopefully little to no wind at 100 then jump out to 600. Seen a YouTube video a while back of a guy shooting milk jugs to see what the bullet would do at different speeds. Cant seems to find it again but he was using the TA .
They sent me some to test in my 280 Ackley but I haven't had time.Tthey are similar to the TLR. extra ring for stability and small diff in the looks dept.
The TLR work great. I will try and shoot some soon.

Right on. Can't wait to hear your results. Gonna do a comparison with 6.5 creedmor. Got couple boxes of TA and Hornady ELD-X. Gonna see which, if any shoots tighter groups out to 600 yds. Ill post my results as well.
