Description

This Federal Premium Cape-Shok load represents serious ammunition for hunters who face the biggest and toughest game Africa has to offer. Built around the proven Swift A-Frame bullet design, these rounds pair a bonded front core with a progressively tapered jacket that manages expansion perfectly while driving deep through muscle, bone, and hide.

Swift A-Frame Design for Controlled Expansion

The Swift A-Frame has earned its reputation over decades of field use. The bonded copper jacket and lead core work together to provide approximately 95 percent weight retention, which means the bullet stays together as it drives through your target. The design stops expansion at its optimum point rather than fragmenting or failing, maintaining a solid shank that reaches vital organs even on quartering shots. The nose profile can handle the severe punishment of heavy recoil without deforming, so you get consistent performance shot after shot.

Built for African Conditions and Big Bore Performance

Federal loaded these rounds to push a 400-grain bullet at 2350 feet per second, generating 4905 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. The nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion in hot, humid climates and cycle smoothly through the magazine. Each primer is sealed to assure instant ignition under any condition. This ammunition is built new from non-corrosive components in boxer-primed, reloadable brass for the hunter who takes the field seriously.

Ready for the Hunt

Twenty rounds per box means you'll have enough for practice and proper shot placement before your hunt, plus backup rounds in the field. Whether you're preparing for your first dangerous game hunt or you're a professional with years of experience, Cape-Shok rounds deliver the reliability and performance these situations demand.
