Federal Premium Safari Cape-Shok 470 Nitro Express rifle ammunition (brand part no. P470T2) loads a 500-grain Trophy Bonded Sledgehammer Solid bullet, Jack Carter’s legendary design that bonds the core to a thick brass jacket to achieve bone-crushing penetration on the world’s most dangerous game. The bullet’s flat nose minimizes deflection for a straight, deep wound cavity, while a grooved shank improves accuracy across an array of rifle platforms without compromising penetration. Federal backs the bullet with a nickel-plated case, specially formulated powder, and a Gold Medal primer, ensuring peak performance when a hunter has one shot to make count. For hunters preparing for a genuine dangerous-game safari, this rifle ammunition from Federal is purpose-built for the task.
