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.

Product Overview
Federal American Eagle 150-grain FMJBT is a boat-tail full metal jacket target load, which Federal lists for competition and target shooting. The jacket covers a lead core over a boat-tail base, and no other .30-06 Springfield ball load compared has one. It leaves the muzzle at 2,910 fps with 2,820 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .408.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 21.6 inches at 400 yards. From a 100-yard zero it drops 28.3 inches at 400.
If you're cross-shopping, Remington's UMC 150-grain FMJ matches it on speed with a flat-base bullet and a G1 BC of .314 and drops 24.4 inches at 400 yards from a 200-yard zero. Prvi Partizan's 150-grain FMJ starts 165 fps slower on a G1 BC of .401 and off that zero it drops 24.9 inches at 400.
- The highest G1 BC and the least drop at 400 yards of the ball loads compared
- Still moving 2,261 fps at 300 yards and 2,065 at 400
- Federal lists it for competition as well as target shooting
- A target bullet with a full metal jacket. Federal's PowerShok 150-grain Copper HP is the hunting load at this weight
- Nothing in the recoil figures separates it from Remington's UMC 150-grain FMJ
