Value Priced Lead Free Hunting Ammo

Power-Shok has long been Federal’s go to line for practical hunters who want dependable results without paying premium prices. Power-Shok Copper keeps that same value while switching to a non lead bullet, so you can hunt in lead restricted areas without stepping up to the most expensive loads.

The copper alloy bullet uses a hollow point nose that opens up consistently on impact. Federal lists a minimum expansion velocity of 1,800 feet per second, which this load maintains past 400 yards according to Federal’s published ballistics. That gives you a wide window of effective range for most hunting situations.

Because the bullet is one piece copper alloy, it holds its weight and keeps penetrating after expansion, an important trait when shots come at tougher angles.

Hunting Tips

Use Federal 300 WSM 180gr Power-Shok Copper ammo only in rifles chambered for 300 Winchester Short Magnum.

Copper bullets often print to a different point of impact than lead core loads. Re-zero your rifle before the season whenever you switch ammunition.

Keep shots within the range where impact speed stays above 1,800 fps so the hollow point expands as designed.

Practice from realistic field positions and confirm your holds at the distances you expect to shoot.

Federal 300 WSM 180gr Power-Shok Copper ammo is a smart choice for deer and elk hunters who want a superb lead free load at a practical price, and for anyone hunting in areas that require non lead ammunition.

The 300 WSM is known for magnum performance from a short action, and a 180 grain bullet makes the most of it. Federal 300 WSM 180gr Power-Shok Copper ammo carries roughly 3,250 foot pounds of energy at the muzzle by standard calculation, plenty for elk, moose and large bodied deer at sensible hunting ranges.

The hollow point design is simple and effective. When the nose contacts the animal, it folds back into petals that widen the wound channel while the base of the bullet keeps driving forward. This makes Federal 300 WSM 180gr Power-Shok Copper a good fit for hunters who often take shots in timber or across fields at moderate distances.

Budget matters for many hunters, especially those who like to practice with the same load they hunt with. Because Power-Shok Copper is priced below premium tipped options, it is easier to shoot a few extra groups before the season and still have plenty left for the field.

Store your ammunition in a cool, dry place in its original box. Buying a few boxes of Federal 300 WSM 180gr Power-Shok Copper from the same lot lets you zero once and trust your data all season. Save your fired brass too, since 300 WSM cases are valuable to reloaders.
