Product Overview
Federal's PowerShok copper breaks the mold with this 150-grain hollow point that proves going green doesn't mean going soft. Rocketing out at 2910 fps, this copper warrior delivers an earth-shaking 2820 ft-lbs of energy downrange. The all-copper construction means you're getting maximum weight retention and controlled expansion, while that blazing velocity keeps your trajectory flat enough to make rangefinders almost optional inside 300 yards.
Watch this round work in the field, and you'll understand why copper is gaining converts. Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that can fragment unpredictably, this hollow point peels back into razor-sharp petals that create devastating wound channels while driving deep through vital organs. The controlled expansion preserves meat around the wound track, making it particularly effective for hunters who care about both performance and what ends up in their freezer.
Regulations keeping you out of your favorite hunting spots? Not anymore. This lead-free load opens up hunting opportunities in areas with strict environmental rules, from California's coastal ranges to the mountains of Arizona. The lighter 150-grain weight means less felt recoil than traditional 180-grain loads, letting you stay in the field longer without developing a flinch. And since copper performs consistently in any temperature, you won't need different loads for early season bow hunters' bull tags versus December's late-season hunts.
- High-speed copper construction punches through brush without deflecting, perfect for dense woodland hunting
- Rapid energy dump on impact creates decisive wound channels while meeting lead-free requirements
- Excels in wet conditions where traditional bullets might experience core separation
- Peak velocity produces exceptionally flat trajectories inside 200 yards
- Requires specialized cleaning routines to prevent copper fouling buildup
- Different flight characteristics may necessitate scope adjustments when switching from lead-core ammunition
- Premium materials push this round into a higher price bracket than traditional options
