Description
If you're hunting big game in the .300 Win Mag and want a lead-free option that actually performs, the Federal Power-Shok Copper line is worth a serious look. These rounds use a 180-grain copper-alloy hollow point that's designed to expand reliably on impact, creating wide wound channels while maintaining excellent energy transfer.
The copper construction means you get cleaner barrels and less lead residue downrange compared to traditional ammunition. The 180-grain bullet hits the right balance for the magnum cartridge, carrying enough mass for deep penetration while staying nimble enough for flat trajectories. You're looking at 2,850 feet per second out of the muzzle with about 3,246 foot-pounds of energy behind it, which is solid performance for elk, moose, and other large game at hunting distances.
What Makes Federal Power-Shok Copper Stand Out
Federal uses their own brass and primers on these loads, so you get consistent ignition and reliable feeding through your rifle. The hollow-point design expands consistently across a wide velocity range, maintaining reliability even at longer distances where velocity drops. The ballistic coefficient of .330 keeps the bullet stable and on course, helping maintain that energy transfer across the hunting distance you're likely to be shooting.
Building Rounds You Can Trust
Each box contains 20 rounds of new production ammunition loaded to uniform specifications. The brass is reloadable if you want to stretch every round, and the components are built to Federal's standards. You get ammunition that works reliably in your rifle without drama, which is exactly what you need when you're in the field. The lead-free copper-alloy construction gives you the flexibility to hunt in areas where it matters, and the terminal performance minimum velocity of 1,800 fps means the round will still expand and perform effectively at extended ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Power-Shok Copper and standard Power-Shok ammunition?
The Power-Shok Copper uses lead-free copper-alloy hollow point bullets instead of traditional lead-core projectiles. Both deliver similar accuracy and reliability, but the copper version keeps your barrel cleaner and gives you flexibility in hunting areas with lead ammunition restrictions. The performance characteristics are essentially the same for practical hunting purposes.
Is the Federal Power-Shok Copper suitable for long-range hunting?
Yes. The 0.330 ballistic coefficient and consistent hollow-point expansion from 2,850 fps down to the 1,800 fps minimum means you can take confident shots well beyond typical hunting distances. The round retains enough energy and velocity for reliable performance on big game at extended range while still maintaining the large wound channels the design is known for.
Can I reload the Federal Power-Shok Copper brass?
Absolutely. The ammunition comes in new boxer-primed brass cases that are fully reloadable. This is a nice bonus if you shoot regularly and want to get more life out of your brass, making the per-round cost even better over time.
What game animals is this load suitable for?
The 180-grain .300 Win Mag Power-Shok Copper is effective on elk, moose, bear, and other large game animals. The 180-grain bullet offers the ideal balance of penetration and expansion for magnum hunting. It works well for shots inside 400 yards where penetration is critical, but the ballistic performance also makes it a solid choice for longer-distance hunting scenarios.
