The Federal Power-Shok Copper .300 WSM 180gr Hollow Point (Federal part no. 300WSM180LFA) is a 20-round box of .300 WSM rifle ammunition loaded with a 180-grain copper hollow point bullet. Power-Shok Copper brings the line’s consistency and value to a non-lead bullet, an accurate copper-alloy hollow point that creates large wound channels. The .300 WSM, short for 300 Winchester Short Magnum, is a short-action .30-caliber magnum. Federal publishes a muzzle velocity of 2,850 fps and 3,246 foot-pounds of muzzle energy for this load. It is aimed at big game and long-range shooting, and each box holds 20 rounds.
