Description
The Federal Power-Shok .300 Savage 150 grain load is built for shooters running classic lever actions and older bolt rifles that call for this cartridge. With a muzzle velocity of 2630 fps and muzzle energy of 2304 ft-lbs, this ammunition handles medium game effectively out to reasonable hunting distances.
Power-Shok Bullet Construction
These loads feature a traditional lead-core jacketed soft point design. The bullet uses Federal's hot core process, which eliminates the lead oxide layer that can cause core slippage. The jacket profile and fluted tip combine to ensure reliable expansion across a range of velocities you'll encounter in real hunting scenarios. This design is proven for controlled expansion and deep penetration on game like deer, hogs, and similar-sized animals.
Quality Components Built In
Federal backs up the Power-Shok line with dependable brass cases, consistent primers, and matched powder charges. The ammunition ships non-corrosive and boxer primed, making it reloadable for those who like to reload. You're not paying for a fancy name here, just straightforward ammo that does the job without a premium price tag attached.
The .300 Savage in the Field
While the .300 Savage isn't a modern design, it remains effective for its intended purpose. Those hunting with Savage 99s or other rifles chambered for this cartridge know it shoots accurately and delivers enough power for ethical kills on medium game out past 200 yards. The 150 grain bullet offers a flatter trajectory than heavier options, making it solid if you're dealing with brush or varied terrain where longer shots are a possibility.
