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's Trophy Copper 165-grain is a polymer-tipped copper .308 load made for big game at long range. The bullet is solid copper with no lead core. It leaves the muzzle at 2,700 fps with 2,671 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .503, the highest of the .308 loads compared.
From a 200-yard zero it drops 8.3 inches at 300 and 23.8 inches at 400, where 1,515 ft-lbs are left.
If you're cross-shopping, Hornady's Superformance CX 165-grain is the other copper 165 in the caliber, 50 fps faster on a G1 BC of .440, and from a 200-yard zero it drops 23.9 inches at 400. Federal's own Power-Shok 180-grain is the heavy lead-core option and from that zero drops 29.5 inches at 400.
- No lead in the bullet, so it is legal where lead ammunition is restricted
- Carries 1,758 ft-lbs at 300 yards, the most of the loads compared
- The least drop at 400 yards of the loads compared from a 200-yard zero
- About 15 percent more estimated recoil than Hornady's American Whitetail 150-grain InterLock
- Hornady's Superformance CX 165-grain is the faster of the two lead-free 165s at the muzzle
