The Federal P458T1 Premium Safari Cape-Shok delivers devastating terminal performance for dangerous game hunting with its 400-grain Trophy Bonded Bear Claw bullet. This premium ammunition combines Federal's precision manufacturing with Speer's proven Trophy Bonded technology to create a cartridge that penetrates deep while maintaining controlled expansion on the world's largest game animals.
What Makes This Different
The Trophy Bonded Bear Claw bullet features a solid copper shank bonded to a lead core, eliminating jacket separation that plagues conventional hunting bullets. While standard soft-point bullets often fragment on heavy bone, the Bear Claw maintains 95% weight retention through the toughest encounters. Federal's Premium Safari line undergoes additional quality control measures, with each case inspected and powder charges weighed to match specifications within 0.1 grain.
Key Features
- 400-grain Trophy Bonded Bear Claw bullet with bonded core construction
- Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion in humid conditions
- Controlled expansion design retains 95% of original bullet weight

- Muzzle velocity of 2,380 fps with 5,030 ft-lbs of energy

This ammunition excels in African plains game hunting where shot placement and penetration determine success. The Bear Claw's controlled expansion creates a wound channel while the retained weight ensures exit wounds on heavy-bodied animals like buffalo and eland. The nickel-plated cases feed smoothly in bolt-action rifles and resist extraction issues in hot climates where standard brass can stick.
