Product Overview
The Federal PowerShok Buckshot series is engineered for consistent performance in high-stakes applications. Developed to provide reliable terminal ballistics and predictable patterns, this ammunition is a precise load for operators who require effective energy transfer and controlled spread.
Purpose & Application
Federal PowerShok Buckshot in 20 Gauge 3 inch is designed for versatility across demanding scenarios. Its controlled energy and patterning capability make it suitable for hunting medium to large game, including hogs, deer, and various predators. Additionally, its robust terminal performance profile provides a critical advantage for home defense applications, ensuring effective neutralization of threats.
Design & Performance
Each Federal PowerShok Buckshot round integrates advanced components to optimize ballistic performance. The proprietary Triple Plus® wad system is central to its design, precisely aligning shot for a more consistent and tighter pattern downrange. This system works in conjunction with a granulated plastic buffer, which mitigates pellet deformation during ignition and travel through the bore. Maintaining pellet uniformity ensures maximum energy retention and a more focused spread, enhancing terminal effectiveness and increasing the probability of critical hits at range.
