FED PWRSHK 300WIN 180GR SP 20/200

Description

Federal’s Power-Shok line exists for hunters who want a reliable, accurate cartridge without paying a premium for features a deer or elk will never notice. This .300 Winchester Magnum load is built around a traditional jacketed soft point bullet — a construction that has anchored big game cleanly for decades because it balances controlled expansion with enough jacket retention to drive deep through shoulder bone and heavy muscle. The exposed lead tip initiates expansion on contact, while the jacket slows the process enough to preserve penetrating weight through the vital zone.

The 180-grain projectile is a sensible choice for the .300 Win Mag across a wide range of big game. Heavier than the 150-grain options commonly used on lighter deer, it retains more energy at distance and hits harder through the heavy shoulders of elk or moose without sacrificing enough velocity to matter at typical field ranges. Federal lists muzzle velocity at 2,960 fps, which translates to meaningful retained energy well past 300 yards — the ballistics table supports use on large-bodied animals at ranges where lighter loads begin to lose authority.

The brass-cased, boxer-primed construction means fired cases are reloadable, which matters to handloaders who want to recoup some cost from a cartridge that burns a significant powder charge. Primers and propellant are Federal’s own, chosen for consistent ignition across cold-weather field conditions. At twenty rounds per box, this is practical hunting inventory rather than range stock, priced to fill the rifle safe before season without demanding a separate budget line.
