FED PWRSHK 7MM MAG 175GR SP 20/200

Description

Federal Power-Shok in 7mm Remington Magnum is a straightforward hunting load built for the shooter who wants reliable field performance without paying a premium for match-grade packaging. It earns its place on the shelf because the 7mm Remington Magnum cartridge itself does the heavy lifting: the case drives a 175-grain projectile fast enough to retain meaningful energy at the ranges where most big game is taken, while the heavier bullet weight helps resist wind deflection compared to lighter 7mm offerings in the same line.

The jacketed soft point construction is a deliberate choice for hunting rather than target work. The jacket controls how quickly the lead core expands on impact — fast enough to transfer energy efficiently into tissue, slow enough to maintain the bullet’s integrity and push through to vital organs on larger animals like elk or mule deer. That balance of expansion and penetration is why this bullet profile remains the standard for North American big game despite decades of newer designs competing for the same role.

Brass casings mean the fired cases can be reloaded, which matters to handloaders who want to work up a more tailored charge once they know how their particular rifle shoots this bullet weight. Muzzle velocity is 2860 fps, producing muzzle energy of 3,178 ft-lbs — figures that put it solidly in the range where ethical shots on large game are practical at hunting distances. Power-Shok sits in Federal’s working-hunter tier: consistent enough to trust in the field, priced to let you shoot enough through your rifle to confirm zero and build confidence before the season opens.
