The Federal Power-Shok 300 Savage delivers proven terminal performance for medium game hunting with its 150-grain jacketed soft point design. This cartridge combines Federal's reliable brass cases with consistent powder charges to produce dependable accuracy and expansion on deer-sized game.
What Makes This Different
Federal's Power-Shok line uses traditional jacketed soft point bullets engineered for controlled expansion rather than fragmentation. The 150-grain bullet weight provides an optimal balance of velocity and penetration for the 300 Savage cartridge. Unlike premium hunting loads that cost significantly more, Power-Shok delivers effective terminal performance at a practical price point for regular hunting use.

- 150-grain jacketed soft point bullet for reliable expansion on medium game

The 300 Savage cartridge performs effectively on whitetail deer, black bear, and similar-sized game within 200 yards. The jacketed soft point construction initiates expansion upon impact while retaining enough mass for adequate penetration through vital organs. This ammunition functions reliably in popular rifles like the Savage Model 99 and Remington Model 788.
