Product Overview
Best Uses for Federal Power-Shok .450 Bushmaster 300gr JHP Ammo
The Federal Power-Shok .450 Bushmaster 300gr JHP offers hunters an excellent balance of performance and value in a heavy-hitting straight-walled cartridge load. The 300-grain jacketed hollow point delivers 1900 fps muzzle velocity and 2405 ft-lbs of energy, providing the deep penetration and controlled expansion needed for ethical harvests on whitetail deer, feral hogs, and black bear. This heavier bullet design excels when hunting larger-bodied game where penetration through muscle and bone is essential.
Federal's Power-Shok line has earned its reputation as a dependable, no-frills hunting ammunition, and this .450 Bushmaster load continues that tradition. The 300-grain weight offers advantages over lighter 250-grain options when pursuing hogs or bear, as the additional mass drives the bullet deeper into vital organs even after encountering thick hide or heavy bone. With a 0.225 G1 ballistic coefficient, this load maintains acceptable accuracy for the typical hunting ranges of 150 yards or less where .450 Bushmaster shines.
For hunters in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, and other straight-walled cartridge states, the Federal Power-Shok represents outstanding value without compromising terminal performance. Whether you are a deer hunter looking for ammunition that consistently drops whitetails or a landowner dealing with destructive hog populations, this load provides the knockdown power needed at a price point that allows for practice and verification of zero before hunting season.
