Product Overview
Federal Power-Shok ammunition pushes a 117 grain soft point to 3,030 feet per second, delivering 2,385 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. The Speer Hot-Cor bullet at the heart of this load features a jacket drawn over a molten lead core—a process that creates excellent concentricity and reliable expansion. At .361 G1 ballistic coefficient, the bullet maintains respectable downrange performance.
The Hot-Cor construction has earned its stripes over decades of field use. Unlike bonded bullets designed for dangerous game, this design mushrooms reliably at .25-06 velocities while providing the penetration needed for broadside and quartering shots on deer-class animals. Federal loads these rounds to SAAMI specifications with consistent powder charges that produce predictable velocities shot after shot.
This ammunition fits hunters who want dependable performance without premium pricing. Whether filling a freezer tag or introducing a new shooter to the .25-06, Power-Shok delivers honest results. The round excels on whitetails, mule deer, and pronghorn at typical hunting distances. Recoil stays manageable thanks to the cartridge's efficient design, making accurate follow-up shots straightforward when needed.
- Speer Hot-Cor construction creates excellent concentricity from the molten core process, contributing to accuracy
- Decades of field-proven performance on deer-sized game at typical hunting distances
- Competitive pricing positions this between budget imports and premium hunting ammunition
- The 3,030 fps velocity exceeds most 117 grain loads including Hornady American Whitetail
- The .361 BC trails polymer-tipped bullets like Winchester Deer Season XP (.453 BC) in wind resistance
- Flat-base design doesn't match boat tail bullets for extreme long-range accuracy
- Not designed for the deep penetration that bonded bullets provide on quartering shots
