FED PWRSHK 3006 150GR SP 20/200

Description

Federal’s Power-Shok line exists for hunters who want dependable terminal performance without paying a premium for technology they don’t need. This .30-06 Springfield load with a 150-grain jacketed soft point is a straightforward choice for deer and medium-sized game: the exposed lead tip initiates expansion on impact while the jacketed body controls how quickly that expansion happens, helping the bullet retain enough mass to penetrate through muscle and bone rather than fragmenting at the surface.

The traditional lead-core construction is a deliberate design choice rather than a compromise. Bonded and partitioned bullets are engineered to hold together under extreme velocity or at unusually close range, but at the distances most hunters shoot deer, a conventional jacketed soft point expands reliably and transfers energy efficiently. The .30-06 has enough case capacity to push a 150-grain bullet at a velocity that keeps the trajectory flat enough for practical field shots without demanding the heavier recoil of a magnum cartridge.

Brass casing and boxer priming mean spent cases are reloadable for those who work up their own loads. Muzzle velocity is 2,910 fps, with energy dropping from 2,820 ft-lbs at the muzzle to 2,279 ft-lbs at 100 yards and 1,442 ft-lbs at 300 yards — enough retained energy at reasonable hunting distances to do the job cleanly on deer-sized animals. Twenty rounds per box, ten boxes per case.
