Product Overview
Federal says its Power-Shok 150-grain JSP is for a wide variety of medium and big game. It is a standard-weight .30-06 hunting load built on a jacketed soft point, a lead-core bullet with exposed lead at the nose. It carries a G1 BC of .314, leaves the muzzle at 2,910 fps and still has 1,133 ft-lbs of energy at 400 yards.
Compared with Remington's Core-Lokt 150-grain PSP, the Power-Shok is a twin: same G1 BC, same muzzle speed and the same kick in the same rifle. Zeroed at 100 yards, both drop about 32 inches at 400. Compared with Hornady's American Whitetail 150-grain InterLock, another lead-core soft point, the Hornady has a slightly higher G1 BC of .338 at the same muzzle speed. At 400 yards, a steady 10 mph wind blowing across the range pushes the Power-Shok about 19 inches sideways and the Hornady about 17.
Buy the Power-Shok for medium and big game at woods and field distances, inside about 300 yards. Treat the Core-Lokt 150 PSP as the same load and choose by the bullet you prefer. Pick the Hornady American Whitetail 150 if you want a little less drift from a plain soft point. Pick Remington's Premier 150-grain Swift Scirocco Bonded or the 150-grain Core-Lokt Tipped if your shots stretch to 400 yards; the same wind moves either about 13 inches there.
- Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops about 8 inches at 300, against about 7 for Remington's Premier 150-grain Swift Scirocco Bonded
- Leaves the muzzle only 20 fps behind Remington's 150-grain Core-Lokt Tipped
- Kicks no harder than Remington's Premier 150-grain Swift Scirocco Bonded in the same rifle
- At 500 yards a 10 mph crosswind moves it about 31 inches, against about 22 for Remington's 150-grain Core-Lokt Tipped
- Slows to 1,624 fps at 500 yards, against 1,936 for Remington's Premier 150-grain Swift Scirocco Bonded
- Zeroed at 100 yards, it drops about 60 inches at 500, against about 57 for Hornady's .30-06 American Whitetail 150-grain InterLock
