Similar Products Compared
Compared to Hornady's .308 Win American Whitetail 150gr InterLock, Federal's Trophy Copper boasts a higher ballistic coefficient, potentially offering better downrange performance. While the Hornady load has a higher muzzle velocity at 2820 fps, the Federal's heavier 165gr bullet maintains more energy at longer distances, making it more suitable for larger game or extended range shots.
The Federal Trophy Copper slightly outperforms the PPU Standard Rifle .308 Win 165gr SP in velocity (2700 fps vs 2674 fps) and likely in terminal performance due to its advanced polymer tip design. When compared to the Federal Gold Medal Match .308 Win 168gr Sierra MatchKing HP, the Trophy Copper offers a balance between match-grade accuracy and hunting-specific terminal performance, making it more versatile for hunters who demand precision.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the copper construction affect performance compared to lead-core bullets?
The all-copper construction of the Trophy Copper bullet ensures nearly 100% weight retention upon impact, leading to deeper penetration and more consistent expansion across a wide range of velocities. This makes it particularly effective for larger game animals where deep penetration is crucial.
What's the effective range of this ammunition for ethical hunting?
While effective range depends on various factors including shooter skill and environmental conditions, the high ballistic coefficient (0.503) of this load helps maintain velocity and energy at extended ranges. Many experienced hunters find this ammunition effective for ethical harvests out to 500 yards or more on appropriate-sized game, given proper shot placement.
Is this ammunition California-compliant for hunting?
Yes, the all-copper construction of the Trophy Copper bullet meets California's requirements for lead-free hunting ammunition. This makes it a viable option for hunters in areas with lead ammunition restrictions, without sacrificing performance.
