The Federal Trophy Bonded Tip 338 caliber 300 grain component bullets deliver exceptional terminal performance for big game hunting applications. These premium projectiles combine controlled expansion with deep penetration, making them ideal for large North American game where shot placement and energy transfer are critical.
What Makes This Different
The Trophy Bonded Tip design features a polymer tip that initiates rapid expansion while the bonded copper jacket and lead core maintain structural integrity through heavy bone and tissue. Unlike conventional cup-and-core bullets that can separate on impact, the electrochemical bonding process ensures the jacket and core remain together for maximum weight retention. This construction typically retains 95% or more of the original bullet weight, delivering consistent penetration depths of 24-30 inches in ballistic gelatin.
Key Features
- 300 grain weight optimized for long-range trajectory and energy retention
- Polymer tip design promotes rapid expansion and flat shooting characteristics
- Electrochemically bonded jacket prevents core separation on impact
- Boat tail base design improves ballistic coefficient and accuracy potential
- Premium copper jacket construction resists deformation during loading
- Consistent weight tolerance of ±0.5 grains for precision reloading
- 50 bullets per box with protective foam packaging
These bullets perform exceptionally well in magnum cartridges like the 338 Winchester Magnum, 338 Lapua, and 338 Remington Ultra Mag. The 300 grain weight provides excellent sectional density for deep penetration on elk, moose, and African plains game. Terminal performance remains consistent across impact velocities from 1,800 to 3,000 fps, making them suitable for both close-range timber hunting and long-range precision applications.
