For the largest, most dangerous game on earth, Federal Premium Safari Cape-Shok 470 Nitro Express ammunition (brand part no. P470T1) loads a 500-grain Trophy Bonded Bear Claw bullet built to hold together under any impact. Federal Ammunition engineers the Cape-Shok line specifically for African safari hunters chasing buffalo, elephant, and other thick-skinned game where bullet failure is not an option.

For hunters heading to Africa or facing dangerous game anywhere else, this rifle ammunition is built to finish the job in one shot.
