The Federal Power-Shok 223 Rem 64-grain jacketed soft point delivers reliable terminal performance for varmint hunting and medium game applications. This proven cartridge combines Federal's quality manufacturing standards with an expanding bullet design optimized for quick, humane kills on coyotes, prairie dogs, and similar-sized targets.
What Makes This Different
The 64-grain jacketed soft point bullet sits in the sweet spot for 223 Remington performance, offering better weight retention than lighter varmint bullets while maintaining flat trajectory. Federal's consistent powder charges and quality brass cases deliver shot-to-shot reliability that budget ammunition often lacks. The soft point design initiates controlled expansion on impact while the copper jacket prevents excessive fragmentation.

Field performance shows this load excels in AR-15 platforms and bolt-action rifles chambered in 223 Remington. The 64-grain weight provides sufficient energy for ethical shots on medium varmints out to 300 yards while remaining stable in most standard twist rates. Hunters appreciate the balance between explosive varmint performance and controlled expansion that prevents excessive pelt damage.
