Federal Power Shok bullets hit hard and expand reliably for effective game-getting performance. The tapered jacket is designed to provide good initial penetration plus controlled expansion. Rigid manufacturing controls ensure consistency; generations of hunters swear by their reliability.
Soft Point: It's a proven performer on small game and thin-skinned medium game. It has an aerodynamic tip for a flat trajectory. The exposed soft point expands rapidly for hard hits, even as velocity slows at longer ranges.
300 Savage, 180grain, Power Shok Soft Point, (Per 20)
The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 300 Savage was introduced in the Savage 99 in 1920. Based on the 250 Savage case necked up, it has a shorter (1.871-inch) case with more body taper than the 308 Winchester, so is not as poweful. However, the 308 Winchester would not appear for another 30 years. With a 150-grain bullet at 2630 feet per second and a 180-grain bullet at 2350, the 300 Savage was designed to offer "30-06-like" performance in the Savage 99 lever action. It compared favorably with 30-06 loads of the day and offered (and continues to offer) fine performance for deer, black bear, and elk at moderate range. Although not currently chambered in new rifles it has been chambered to numerous bolt-actions as well as the Savage 99, and many "deep woods" hunters still swear by it.
