The Federal Power-Shok .300 WSM 180gr jacketed soft point load (Federal part no. 300WSMC) packs a 180-grain bullet into .300 WSM for big game hunting and long-range work. Federal Ammunition builds Power-Shok around a traditional lead-core hunting bullet, paired with quality brass, primers and propellant to keep accuracy and power affordable. .300 WSM is a short-action magnum from Winchester that fits compact actions. Federal lists a muzzle velocity of 2,980 fps and 3,549 ft-lb of muzzle energy, and the bullet is still moving at 2,504 fps at 200 yards. Each box holds 20 rounds, enough for a sight-in session plus a few spares for the season.
