FED PWRSHK 45COLT 235GR JHP 20/200

Description

Federal Power-Shok in .45 Colt is built for handgun hunters who want a capable, no-frills load at a price that makes practice practical. The jacketed hollow-point bullet is designed to expand on contact, delivering terminal performance suited to a range of medium and large game — making this a reasonable choice for deer, hog, or black bear when taken at appropriate ranges with a revolver or lever gun.

At 235 grains, the bullet sits on the heavier end of what the .45 Colt cartridge commonly sees, and that mass contributes directly to the momentum that drives expansion and penetration at hunting distances. Muzzle velocity is 850 feet per second from a 6-inch vented test barrel, with energy dropping gradually from 377 foot-pounds at the muzzle to 326 foot-pounds at 100 yards — a trajectory that rewards shooters who know their equipment and keep shots within responsible range. The ballistic drop figures assume a 25-yard zero, so dialing in your specific firearm at distance before the field is straightforward work.

The jacket construction controls expansion while keeping lead exposure to the bore to a minimum, which matters when you are pushing a heavy, soft-lead-core projectile through a hunting revolver you intend to maintain. Brass cases headstamp well and reload cleanly if that is part of your routine. At 20 rounds per box, this is practical hunting-quantity packaging rather than a range bulk pack — Federal also offers it in a 200-round case for those who want to stockpile or run more extensive pre-season function checks.
