Engineered for the discerning big game hunter, this premium offering from Federal combines time-tested .30-06 Springfield ballistics with cutting-edge bullet technology. At the heart of this cartridge lies the 165-grain Trophy Bonded Tip projectile, a bullet that marries the controlled expansion of bonded soft points with the ballistic efficiency of polymer-tipped bullets. This marriage of technologies results in a round capable of delivering devastating terminal performance at both close range and extended distances. The nickel-plated brass case not only enhances corrosion resistance but also ensures smooth feeding and extraction in a variety of firearms, from classic bolt-actions to modern semi-automatic rifles.
