Federal Premium Cape-Shok .416 Rigby rifle ammunition (brand part no. P416T1) loads a 400-grain Trophy Bonded Bear Claw bullet at 2300 fps, built for dangerous-game hunters who need a controlled-expansion round for a first, often broadside, shot. Federal developed the Cape-Shok line specifically for African safari cartridges, engineering every load to feed, expand, and perform under conditions where a single failure can be catastrophic. The Trophy Bonded Bear Claw’s bonded core resists jacket-core separation, giving controlled expansion while retaining the majority of the bullet’s weight for deep, reliable penetration. For hunters preparing for a genuine dangerous-game safari, this rifle ammunition from Federal is purpose-built for the task.
