Product Overview

Federal's Trophy Copper load brings serious innovation to the .308 Winchester platform. This 165-grain all-copper projectile defies conventional wisdom, achieving an impressive 2700 fps while delivering bone-crushing 2671 ft-lbs of energy. Unlike traditional lead-core bullets, this copper thoroughbred maintains nearly 100% of its mass on impact, driving deep into vital zones without fragmenting or losing effectiveness.

Think of this round as the surgeon's scalpel of big game cartridges. The polymer tip initiates precise, controlled expansion while the monolithic copper construction carves a devastating path through tissue. It's particularly lethal on elk and moose, where deep penetration through heavy bone and muscle is non-negotiable. The lead-free design also makes it legal in California and other areas with strict hunting regulations.

Where this load truly shines is in situations demanding absolute reliability on the first shot. The copper construction handles high-velocity impact without shedding weight or deflecting, even when encountering heavy shoulder bones or quartering shots. You'll appreciate the clean-killing performance when that once-in-a-lifetime bull steps out at 300 yards. Plus, the lead-free design means no metal contamination in your game meat - something your family will thank you for at the dinner table.

Strengths
  • Exceptional weight retention from monolithic copper design delivers consistent performance through thick-shouldered game
  • Environmentally conscious construction meets regulations in lead-restricted hunting zones without sacrificing terminal effectiveness
  • Advanced polymer tip enhances expansion reliability across varying impact velocities
  • Optimized velocity profile maintains reliable expansion from close range out to extended hunting distances
Limitations
  • Premium materials and construction command a higher price point compared to traditional lead-core options
  • May require occasional additional barrel cleaning to prevent copper fouling buildup
  • Slightly different point of impact compared to lead-core ammunition requires scope adjustment and practice
