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 150-grain is a soft point .270 Winchester hunting load made for medium and big game. Lead is left exposed at the nose of the jacketed soft point, with no polymer tip over it. It leaves the muzzle at 2,830 fps with 2,667 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .261.
Zeroed at 100 yards, it drops 37.4 inches at 400 yards. From a 200-yard zero the drop at 400 is 29.1 inches.
If you're cross-shopping, Winchester's Super-X 150-grain Power-Point is another bare-lead soft point at this weight and on a G1 BC of .344 it drops 31.9 inches at 400 yards from a 100-yard zero. Hornady's American Whitetail 140-grain InterLock carries a G1 BC of .486 and off that zero it drops 26.1 inches at 400.
- A 150-grain bullet, 10 grains heavier than Hornady's American Whitetail 140-grain InterLock
- Carries 1,169 ft-lbs at 300 yards
- 56 ft-lbs more at the muzzle than Nosler's Trophy Grade 150-grain Partition
- The lowest G1 BC in .270 Winchester, and the most drop at 400 yards of any load compared
- About 10 percent more estimated recoil than Hornady's American Whitetail 140-grain InterLock, which drops 11 inches less at 400 yards from a 100-yard zero
- A lead core, and .270 Winchester has no copper load among those compared, so this is not ammunition for ground where lead-free bullets are required
