20rds – 44 Mag Federal Power-Shok 180gr. JHP Ammo Details

These affordable .44 Magnum cartridges are designed to take medium game like whitetail deer and big cats but may also be utilized for personal protection. Federal manufactures these rounds using quality components such as reloadable brass cases and clean-igniting Boxer primers. Each casing bears a 180 grain jacketed hollow-point (JHP) projectile with a toothed cannelure at its crimp point and an exposed lead tip. Crimping to a toothed cannelure keeps the round secured under recoil which would otherwise jostle the round and mar accuracy. This effort also prevents setback that could ruin dependable ignition or cause a catastrophic failure.

The lead tip is indented with a tall hollow cavity but is otherwise cut flat when viewed from the side. This shape makes the round safe for use in the tubular magazines of lever-action rifles which are often taken along in deer and black bear country. Upon impact, the round will experience wide, violent expansion that is halted by the grooved cannelure for a balance between deep penetration and massive wound creation. 180 grains is a light weight for the .44 Remington Magnum and offers controllable recoil alongside a flat trajectory.

Federal Premium ammunition is a well-known brand that makes products aimed towards competitive match shooting, law enforcement applications, and home defense preparation. Their Power-Shok line is intended to arm hunters with budget loads that exhibit excellent terminal ballistics.
