Federal Power-Shok .308 Win 180gr Ammo Bullet Drop and Load Data
Product Overview
Federal's Power-Shok .308 Winchester throws serious weight downrange with its 180-grain JSP bullet. At 2570 fps, this heavyweight contender delivers bone-crushing 2640 ft-lbs of energy - enough to drop the biggest game North America has to offer. The heavier bullet weight might seem old-school in today's world of lightweight speedsters, but there's rock-solid science behind this proven formula.
When the brush is thick and the game is big, this load really flexes its muscles. That hefty 180-grain JSP drives deep through heavy bone and muscle, while the jacket controls expansion for maximum energy transfer. It's particularly lethal on quartering shots where lighter bullets might struggle to reach vitals. Elk guides in timber country often reach for this load when clients need absolute confidence in their ammunition's ability to punch through shoulder bones and heavy muscle.
Put this ammunition to work in dense cover where shots rarely stretch past 200 yards. The controlled expansion of the JSP creates devastating wound channels without excessive meat damage - something you'll appreciate when it's time to pack out your trophy. While it might not have the fancy polymer tips or marketing hype of premium ammunition, this load continues to fill freezers and create lifelong hunting memories. Just remember to pack your dragging rope - you're going to need it.
