How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). 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 tags its Power-Shok 150-grain for big game and long range, and it is a traditional hunting load for buyers who want a plain soft point. The bullet is a jacketed soft point: a jacket over a lead core, with lead exposed at the tip. It is rated at a G1 BC of .389, leaves the muzzle at 3,150 fps and still carries 1,978 ft-lbs of energy at 300 yards.
Compared with Winchester's Deer Season XP 150-grain Extreme Point, a polymer-tipped bullet of the same weight, the Power-Shok is slower and kicks a little less. The Winchester leaves the muzzle 110 fps faster, and zeroed at 100 yards it drops about 41 inches at 500, against about 44 for the Power-Shok. The Winchester kicks about 4 percent harder in the same rifle. Compared with Prvi Partizan's 180-grain Soft Point, a heavier traditional soft point, the Power-Shok leaves the muzzle 247 fps faster. At 500 yards, a steady 10 mph wind blowing across the range pushes the Power-Shok about 21 inches sideways and the Prvi Partizan about 22. The Prvi Partizan kicks about 31 percent harder in the same rifle.
Buy the Power-Shok if you want a fast, traditional soft point that kicks a little less than the Deer Season XP. Pick the Deer Season XP if you hunt deer, the use Winchester markets it for, and want a flatter path from a polymer-tipped bullet. Pick the Prvi Partizan if you want a heavier 180-grain soft point and don't mind more recoil. If you want a copper bullet with no lead core from Federal, the Premium 165-grain Barnes TSX is the one to pick; it kicks about 17 percent harder in the same rifle.
- Kicks about 25 percent less than Federal's Fusion 180-grain in the same rifle
- Zeroed at 100 yards, it drops about 10 inches at 300, against about 12 for Prvi Partizan's 180-grain Soft Point
- Leaves the muzzle 100 fps faster than Federal's Premium 165-grain Barnes TSX, 3,150 fps against 3,050
- At 400 yards, a 10 mph crosswind pushes it about 13 inches, against about 11 for Federal's Fusion 180-grain
- Winchester's Deer Season XP Copper Impact 150 carries 2,126 ft-lbs at 300 yards, against 1,978
- Starts with 103 fewer ft-lbs at the muzzle than Federal's Premium 165-grain Barnes TSX, 3,305 against 3,408
