Federal introduced in mid-2016 a hybrid series of their staple Power-Shok featuring all copper bullets aptly named Power-Shok Copper. Its initial release debuted 4 standard hunting cartridges: .243 Winchester, .270 Winchester, .308 Winchester and .30-06 Springfield. Now Federal has added some heavy hitters with the .300 Winchester Magnum and .300 Winchester Short Magnum.

At the time of this release, they do not have pictures or load data for the new offerings, but they do have .30-06 Sprg packaging to show you what it may look like.

The basic characteristics and qualities of this ammunition are as follows:

• Lead-free copper bullet construction
