Federal Power-Shok 300 WSM ammunition delivers consistent terminal performance for big game hunting with its 180-grain copper hollow point design. This lead-free construction meets hunting regulations in areas requiring non-toxic ammunition while maintaining the stopping power hunters expect from the 300 Winchester Short Magnum cartridge.
What Makes This Different
The copper hollow point bullet expands reliably across a wide velocity range, creating larger wound channels than traditional cup-and-core designs. Federal's quality control ensures consistent powder charges and primer ignition, resulting in tighter shot groups and predictable ballistics. This lead-free formula eliminates concerns about lead contamination in harvested game while delivering energy retention superior to many alternative non-toxic options.
