FED PWRSHK 300SAV 180GR SP 20/200

Description

Federal Power-Shok in .300 Savage is a hunting load built for deer, hogs, and similarly sized game at the ranges where bolt-action rifles are most often used. The .300 Savage is a cartridge that punches above its case volume, generating enough energy to drive a 180-grain bullet at meaningful velocity without the recoil penalty of larger magnum rounds — a practical choice for hunters who shoot a lot during the season or who are recoil-sensitive but unwilling to step down in bullet weight.

The 180-grain soft point bullet is the heavier option for this caliber, and the weight serves a purpose: it retains more energy at distance and penetrates deeper through shoulder bone and muscle than lighter projectiles, which matters when shots on big-bodied whitetails or hogs aren’t perfectly placed. The soft point construction allows the lead core to expand on contact while the jacket controls the rate of that expansion, keeping the bullet together long enough to drive through tissue and deliver energy rather than fragmenting near the surface.

Federal loads this round with boxer-primed brass cases, which makes the spent brass straightforward to resize and reload for hunters who run high volumes or want to work up a custom load for a specific rifle. The powder charge and primer are non-corrosive, so standard cleaning practices keep the bore in good shape. Muzzle velocity is 2,350 fps, and the bullet carries 2,207 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle, with meaningful retained energy well past 200 yards — enough for ethical shots on medium to large game at typical hunting distances.
