Description
Federal Power-Shok .30-30 Winchester ammunition has earned its reputation as solid, no-nonsense hunting rounds. These 170-grain loads travel at 2200 fps and generate 1827 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, delivering the balance of power and penetration that makes the .30-30 such an effective cartridge in brush and timber.
Federal Power-Shok Design and Expansion
The jacketed soft point bullet is built to work at the moderate velocities the .30-30 naturally produces. The exposed lead tip promotes reliable expansion at the speeds this cartridge delivers, while the tapered jacket provides good initial penetration followed by controlled expansion. This is exactly what you need when you're working through heavy cover where shots typically happen at close to moderate ranges.
Dependable Ballistics for Medium Game
With consistent powder charges and quality brass casings, Power-Shok rounds have a track record of feeding smoothly in lever-action rifles and delivering groups that hunters can trust. The reloadable brass cases mean you can squeeze more value out of your ammunition investment if you work up reloads. Generations of hunters have proven that this .30-30 load handles medium game cleanly, from whitetail and mule deer to hogs and black bear when shot placement is responsible.
Woods-Tested Ammunition
Power-Shok isn't flashy, but it doesn't need to be. The combination of a traditional soft point design, reloadable brass, and proven performance makes this ammunition well suited for anyone hunting in timber or brush where you need a round that'll cycle reliably and shoot accurately through your lever gun.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of game is this Federal Power-Shok .30-30 ammunition best suited for?
This 170-grain soft point load is designed for medium game hunting, including whitetail deer, mule deer, hogs, and black bear. The 2200 fps velocity and jacketed soft point design deliver controlled expansion and penetration that works well within typical woods ranges of 100 to 200 yards where most .30-30 hunting happens.
Can I reload the Federal Power-Shok brass cases?
Yes, these rounds come loaded in reloadable brass cases with Boxer primers, so you can reload them after firing. This adds value if you reload your own ammunition.
How does the 170-grain load compare to 150-grain .30-30 ammunition?
The 170-grain Federal load moves slightly slower at 2200 fps versus the 2390 fps of typical 150-grain loads, but it offers better penetration due to the heavier projectile. The 170-grain is a good choice if you're hunting larger medium game or need deeper penetration, while the 150-grain is lighter recoiling and flatter shooting.
What rifles work well with Federal Power-Shok .30-30 ammunition?
Power-Shok rounds cycle reliably through lever-action rifles like the Marlin 336, Winchester 94, and similar designs. The round nose bullet design is specifically engineered to be safe in tubular magazines. You should always verify your specific rifle functions smoothly with any ammunition before hunting.
