Description
If you're looking for dependable rifle ammunition that does the job without breaking the bank, Federal Power-Shok has been the go-to choice for hunters and target shooters for generations. This .222 Remington load pairs a 50-grain jacketed soft point bullet with reliable Federal components and delivers 3140 fps muzzle velocity and 1095 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle.
What Makes Power-Shok Ammo Stand Out
Federal Power-Shok ammunition hits a sweet spot between quality and value. Each round uses a traditional lead-core soft point bullet designed to expand reliably upon impact, creating a wound channel that's effective on small and medium-sized game. The jacketed construction and quality brass casing mean you get consistent performance and easy reloadability for those who reload their own ammunition.
Ballistics and Performance
With a velocity of 3140 fps out of the muzzle, the .222 Rem carries a fast, relatively flat trajectory that works well within typical hunting ranges. At 100 yards you're looking at around 2709 fps and 815 foot-pounds of energy, while at 300 yards you're still maintaining 1959 fps and 426 foot-pounds. The soft point design offers controlled expansion rather than explosive fragmentation, which helps with meat preservation on smaller game.
Built for Real-World Hunting
This load works particularly well for varmint hunting, predator control, and small game where you need accuracy and enough stopping power to get the job done cleanly. The non-corrosive, boxer-primed brass is built to handle field conditions and reloads well if that's part of your routine. Power-Shok has earned its reputation by simply working consistently, time after time, in the hands of hunters who value reliability over fancy marketing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the .222 Remington cartridge best used for?
The .222 Remington is ideal for small to medium game hunting, varmint control, and predator hunting. With moderate recoil and a fast trajectory, it works well at ranges up to 300 yards depending on the game. While some hunters use it for medium game in a pinch, it's generally considered underpowered for larger animals like deer.
Can I reload Federal Power-Shok brass cases?
Yes. Federal Power-Shok ammunition uses quality brass cases that are boxer-primed and fully reloadable. The brass is designed to last multiple loadings when handled properly, making this ammo an economical choice for those who reload their own ammunition.
How does the 50-grain soft point compare to other .222 Rem loads?
The 50-grain soft point is a common weight for the .222 Rem and offers a good balance of velocity, energy, and expansion. Heavier loads exist but are less common in this caliber. This particular load's soft point design provides controlled expansion on game without excessive fragmentation, which is well-suited to hunting applications where accuracy and clean kills matter.
Is Federal Power-Shok ammunition non-corrosive and safe to shoot?
Yes, this ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, and uses modern manufacturing standards. The non-corrosive primers and quality components mean you can shoot and store it without worrying about bore deterioration from corrosive residue.
