FED PRM 270WIN 130GR TRPHY COPPER 20

Description

Federal Premium Trophy Copper is built for hunters who need a bullet that holds together through heavy bone and still opens reliably at the ranges where whitetail, elk, or mule deer are realistically taken. The core design choice here is the all-copper construction: because there is no lead core to separate from a jacket, the bullet stays in one piece and routinely retains close to 99 percent of its original weight even after passing through shoulder blades or heavy muscle. That deep, cohesive penetration is what makes it viable on larger-bodied game where a conventional cup-and-core bullet might fragment before reaching vitals.

The polymer tip does two things simultaneously. At the moment of impact, it drives into the hollow nose cavity to initiate expansion even at reduced terminal velocities — useful when a shot is taken at distance and the bullet has slowed considerably. Between the muzzle and the target, that same tip raises the ballistic coefficient, flattening the trajectory and reducing how much a crosswind pushes the bullet offline. The boat-tail base works alongside the tip to keep the ballistic coefficient high and give the bullet a more stable flight at extended range.

The grooved shank addresses a known friction issue with solid copper bullets: copper engraves rifling differently than lead-core projectiles and can generate pressure spikes or accuracy problems in some barrels. The relief grooves reduce the bearing surface contacting the rifling, which tends to normalize pressure and widen the range of firearms that shoot the load accurately. This is a meaningful design consideration if you are running a tight-chamber rifle or one that has shown sensitivity to all-copper loads in the past. The load leaves the muzzle at 3,060 fps with a 0.459 ballistic coefficient, and comes in a 20-round box.
