Federal's Trophy Copper takes the .30-06 Springfield into premium territory with their 180-grain all-copper projectile. This isn't just another hunting round – it's engineered specifically for the kind of heart-stopping moments when everything has to work perfectly. Launching at 2700 fps and delivering a massive 2913 ft-lbs of energy, this copper powerhouse maintains its structural integrity long after lead-core bullets start coming apart.

Out in the field, this load truly distinguishes itself on larger game. The monolithic copper construction drives through thick hide and heavy bone without sacrificing mass, creating consistent wound channels that anchor animals quickly. Particularly impressive on quartering shots, where the bullet might need to navigate through feet of muscle and bone before reaching vital organs. That reliable expansion and arrow-straight penetration mean you're not just hitting your target – you're putting it down efficiently.

Beyond raw performance, this load opens up new hunting opportunities. Its lead-free construction grants access to areas with strict environmental regulations, while the premium engineering ensures you're never compromising effectiveness for compliance. Those copper petals peel back with surgical precision, creating massive wound channels while preserving meat around the wound track. Pack these rounds when heading after bull elk in California or moose in Maine – they'll perform flawlessly regardless of where your hunt takes you.
