The shaded band is the 8" vital zone, ±4" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 500 yards.

Product Overview
Federal Power-Shok 130-grain is a soft point .270 Winchester hunting load made for medium and big game. The bullet is a jacketed soft point with a lead core and lead left exposed at the nose. It leaves the muzzle at 3,060 fps with 2,703 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .372.
Zeroed at 100 yards, it drops 25.9 inches at 400 yards, arriving with 1,289 ft-lbs. Estimated recoil is the same as Winchester's Super-X 130-grain Power-Point and Winchester's Deer Season XP 130-grain.
If you're cross-shopping, Winchester's Super-X 130-grain Power-Point starts at the same 3,060 fps on the same G1 BC of .372 and drops the same 25.9 inches at 400 yards from a 100-yard zero. Winchester's Deer Season XP 130-grain has a polymer tip on a G1 BC of .450 and drops 24.2 inches at 400 off that zero.
- Carries 1,568 ft-lbs at 300 yards
- Still moving 2,113 fps at 400 yards
- 18 ft-lbs more at the muzzle than Federal's own Fusion 130-grain
- Bare lead at the nose, so it sheds speed faster than the tipped loads compared. Remington's Core-Lokt 130-grain Tipped drops 23.8 inches at 400 yards from a 100-yard zero
- A lead core, and no .270 Winchester load compared uses a copper bullet, so this caliber has nothing for ground where lead-free ammunition is required
- Tied with Winchester's Super-X 130-grain Power-Point for the lowest G1 BC of the 130-grain loads compared, at .372
