Federal Premium Cape-Shok .500 Nitro Express (3-inch) rifle ammunition (brand part no. P500NWH) loads a 570-grain Hydro Solid bullet at 2100 fps, built for dangerous-game hunters who want a solid-style bullet with an extra terminal-performance edge. The Hydro Solid’s hollow-point cavity induces hydrostatic shock on impact while the bullet still holds together and penetrates like a non-expanding solid, combining two terminal mechanisms most bullets have to choose between. Federal builds its Cape-Shok safari line specifically for dangerous-game cartridges, engineering every load to feed and perform reliably when the margin for error is smallest. For hunters preparing for a genuine dangerous-game safari, this rifle ammunition from Federal is purpose-built for the task.
