FED PWRSHK 3030WN 150GR SP FN 20/200

Description

Federal’s Power-Shok line is built around a straightforward proposition: deliver reliable terminal performance on deer and similar medium-to-large game without the premium price attached to bonded or controlled-expansion projectiles. This load pairs a 150-grain soft point flat nose bullet with the .30-30 Winchester cartridge, a combination that has taken whitetail deer for well over a century. The flat nose profile is not an aesthetic choice — it exists because tubular-magazine lever-action rifles require it to prevent the pointed tip of one cartridge from contacting the primer of the round ahead of it under recoil. That single design constraint keeps this bullet relevant to every classic lever gun chambered in .30-30.

The soft point jacket construction allows the bullet to expand on impact while the lead core retains enough mass to penetrate into the vitals. This is a conventional, non-bonded design, which means the core and jacket can separate at high velocity, but at .30-30 working velocities that trade-off is largely academic within realistic hunting distances. The brass case is boxer-primed and reloadable, which matters to handloaders who want to recapture value from every round fired.

Power-Shok occupies the value tier of Federal’s lineup intentionally. It uses standard-grade components rather than premium ones, keeping the per-round cost accessible for hunters who want to practice with the same load they carry into the field. Each box contains 20 rounds.
