FED PWRSHK 30CARB 110GR SPRN 20/200

Description

Federal’s PowerShok line occupies a practical middle ground for hunters who want dependable terminal performance without paying a premium for exotic bullet construction. This .30 Carbine load is built around a jacketed soft point, which means the lead core is exposed at the tip and covered by a copper jacket along the shank. That design lets the bullet begin expanding on contact while the jacket controls the rate of upset and limits fragmentation — a balance that suits small to medium game where you want the projectile to open up but still drive through enough tissue to matter.

The 110-grain bullet weight is the standard for this cartridge, and at a muzzle velocity of 1,990 fps it generates 967 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle — enough for close-to-moderate ranges on small game. The .30 Carbine is a relatively low-pressure pistol-derived round, so recoil is mild, which helps with follow-up shots in the field. Federal loads this ammunition with brass cases and Boxer primers, making once-fired brass straightforward to resize and reload if that matters to you.

PowerShok is Federal’s working-hunter line — not their benchrest or premium hunting tier, but built to the same quality controls on primers and powder that Federal applies across their production. For shooters running an M1 Carbine or one of the modern semi-automatic rifles chambered for this cartridge, this load feeds reliably and delivers consistent ignition. It’s a no-frills option that does what it’s supposed to do at a price that makes stocking up practical.
