FED PWRSHK 270WIN 130GR CPR 20/200

Description

Federal’s Power-Shok Copper is built for hunters who want a lead-free option without paying a premium for a premium line. The copper-alloy hollow-point bullet is the central design decision here: because copper is harder than lead, it resists deformation during the early part of expansion, then peels back reliably to open a wide wound channel rather than fragmenting and scattering energy unpredictably. That controlled expansion is what makes it suitable for big-game work, where consistent penetration matters more than raw velocity at the muzzle.

The hollow-point geometry does more than initiate expansion — it also helps the bullet shed velocity in a predictable arc, which is what the ballistic coefficient of .287 reflects. That figure is modest by modern monolithic standards, meaning wind drift and drop become meaningful factors past 300 yards, so this load rewards hunters who know their range and shoot within it rather than those pushing long-distance limits.

At 3,060 fps muzzle velocity, the 130-grain bullet launches with 2,703 foot-pounds of energy — enough for clean, ethical kills on deer-sized game at practical field distances. Federal uses its own brass and primers throughout, which keeps the loaded round consistent from box to box and makes the cases reloadable for handloaders who want to get more out of the component. The 20-round box makes it straightforward to run a meaningful range session and still have rounds left over for the field.
