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.

Pros and Cons

Advantages

  • Heavier 180-grain bullet drives deeper through dense muscle and bone on larger game animals
  • Soft point design performs exceptionally well in brushy hunting conditions where deflection resistance matters
  • Balanced power delivery combines penetration with practical accuracy for typical hunting distances
  • Straightforward design delivers reliable results without the premium price tag of polymer-tipped options

Disadvantages

  • Steeper trajectory arc requires more holdover adjustment past 200 yards
  • Increased felt recoil may affect quick follow-up shots compared to lighter options
  • Traditional soft point design limits extreme distance performance versus modern polymer-tip bullets
