Description
Federal Premium Trophy Copper ammunition represents a modern approach to hunting the .30-06 Springfield without sacrificing the performance that made this cartridge legendary. This 180-grain load reaches 2700 fps and delivers 2915 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, making it suitable for a wide range of medium to big game hunting applications.
Trophy Copper Design Built for Hunting
The Trophy Copper bullet uses a solid copper-alloy construction that maintains up to 99 percent weight retention, even after deep penetration through heavy bone and muscle. The polymer tip initiates consistent expansion across a broad velocity range, while the grooved bullet shank enhances accuracy when fired through different firearms. Federal's boat-tail design increases the ballistic coefficient to 0.523, which translates to flatter trajectories and less wind drift at distance.
Federal Premium Components for Consistent Results
These cartridges feature nickel-plated brass cases with Boxer primers for reliable ignition and consistent performance in varied conditions. Federal Premium's quality control ensures that each round delivers the same velocity and pressure, giving you confidence that your load will perform the same way at 100 yards or beyond. The 20-round box contains ammunition configured to your specifications and ready for the field.
Suitable for Extended Range Hunting
Whether you're hunting whitetail, mule deer, elk, or preparing for a guided hunt after larger game, the 180-grain Trophy Copper handles itself well. The lead-free construction meets regulations in areas requiring non-toxic ammunition, while maintaining performance comparable to traditional premium hunting loads. Real-world use demonstrates that this weight is a solid all-around choice in the .30-06, offering enough retained energy to be effective beyond 300 yards while keeping recoil manageable for follow-up shots if needed.
