FED PWRSHK 360 BCKHMMR 200GR 20/200

Description

Federal’s Power-Shok line exists for hunters who want dependable field performance without paying a premium for features that don’t matter once the trigger breaks. This .360 Buckhammer load fits that philosophy exactly: a traditional jacketed soft point over quality brass, loaded to a muzzle velocity of 2,200 fps and producing 2,149 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle — figures that put it squarely in big-game territory for whitetail and similar medium-to-large animals at hunting distances.

The jacketed soft point construction is a deliberate choice for hunters rather than a compromise. The jacket controls early expansion enough to maintain a stable wound channel through muscle and bone, while the exposed lead tip initiates reliable mushrooming on impact. That balance of penetration and expansion is what makes the design effective on heavier-bodied game where a fragmenting or rapidly expanding bullet might shed energy before reaching vitals. It is not optimized for long-range target shooting — the ballistic coefficient of .181 means wind drift accumulates meaningfully past 200 yards — but for shots inside 200 yards in timber or brushy terrain where the .360 Buckhammer was designed to work, it does the job cleanly.

Brass cases are reloadable and use a Boxer primer, which means handloaders can get additional value out of each box after the first firing. Federal loads this round with consistent propellant and primers, the same attention to components that makes Power-Shok a practical choice when you need a reliable hunting load without the cost of Federal’s Premium line. Each box contains 20 rounds.
