30-06 Sprg – 150 gr SP – Federal Power-SHOK (3006A) – 200 Rounds

The 30-06 Springfield has filled more deer tags across America than nearly any other centerfire cartridge, and the 150 grain soft point is its most versatile weight. This listing is Federal Power-Shok 30-06 Springfield 150 grain soft point ammo, MPN 3006A, sold as a 200 round case.

Federal rates this load at 2,910 fps with 2,820 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. That gives a flat enough trajectory for open fields while the soft point construction expands reliably on deer, black bear, and hogs. Power-Shok uses a copper jacket over a lead core with an exposed tip for proven, controlled expansion. It is a classic, affordable hunting load that also makes regular sighting-in and practice practical.

This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 30-06 Springfield, including the Remington 700 and 742, Winchester Model 70, Ruger American and Hawkeye, Savage 110 and Axis, Browning BAR and X-Bolt, Tikka T3x, and Weatherby Vanguard. A common question is whether this load is safe in an M1 Garand. Most commercial 30-06 hunting loads can create higher port pressure than the Garand was designed for, so Garand owners usually choose M2 ball pressure ammunition or an adjustable gas plug. Another common question is whether 150 grain is enough for elk. Many hunters prefer 165 or 180 grain bullets for elk to gain penetration.

Federal 3006A is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA by Federal in Anoka, Minnesota. It uses reloadable brass cases with boxer primers and is non-corrosive. The case holds 10 boxes of 20 rounds for a total of 200 rounds. Using the same lot for practice and hunting season means your zero and point of impact stay put when it matters. Two hundred rounds is enough for a thorough sight-in, offhand and sitting practice, and several years of hunting from one consistent batch. Store the boxes in a cool, dry place between seasons.
