Federal Premium Cape-Shok .470 Nitro Express 500gr

Description

The Federal Premium Cape-Shok .470 Nitro Express is built specifically for the demands of big game hunting where failure isn't an option. This is serious ammunition for serious hunters who understand the cartridge's capabilities and have the rifles to match. Each round loads a 500-grain Trophy Bonded Bear Claw bullet that combines decades of proven terminal performance with modern manufacturing standards.

Trophy Bonded Bear Claw Performance

The heart of this load is the Trophy Bonded Bear Claw bullet, engineered with a bonded jacket and core that retains more than 95% of its weight upon impact. This design delivers the penetration required for large, thick-skinned game while maintaining energy transfer through muscle and bone. At 2,150 feet per second muzzle velocity, the Cape-Shok round generates 5,130 foot-pounds of muzzle energy—the kind of power that commands respect downrange.

Federal Premium Construction

Beyond the bullet, every component matters. The nickel-plated brass case resists corrosion and feeds smoothly through double rifle chambers, which is critical since most rifles chambered in this cartridge are doubles. Federal pairs the case with their Gold Medal primer for consistent ignition, and their carefully formulated powder charge keeps velocities consistent across barrels in double rifles, which is essential for proper regulation.

What You're Getting

This is ammunition built for rifles and hunters that have already made the commitment to this class of cartridge. You're not buying this if you're testing the waters—you're buying it because you have a quality rifle, you understand the recoil, and you need ammunition that performs when it counts. Twenty rounds per box means you're stocking up for an expedition rather than plinking at the range.
