8mm Mauser – 170 Gr SP – Federal Power-SHOK (8A) – 200 Rounds

This 8mm Mauser load (8A) gives medium-game hunters a clean, traditional soft point with dependable Federal performance. Federal loads it with a 170 grain jacketed soft point bullet. The exposed lead nose starts expansion on impact. The jacket adds structure after the bullet opens. As a result, this round gives the 8mm Mauser practical field power without needless complexity.

Federal lists this load at 2,250 fps and 1,911 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. Therefore, it fits deer, hogs, black bear, and similar medium game at sensible hunting distances. The 170 grain bullet keeps recoil manageable. Meanwhile, it still carries enough weight for controlled impact and useful penetration. That balance matters in older Mauser-pattern rifles and modern 8x57mm hunting rifles alike.

Power-Shok ammunition keeps the formula straightforward. It uses traditional lead-core hunting bullets, quality brass, primers, and propellant. Moreover, Federal built this line around consistent accuracy and field-ready power. The result is a no-nonsense hunting cartridge. It feeds well. It hits with purpose. It gives the shooter a familiar soft point profile that works.

Each box contains 20 rounds. Each case includes 10 boxes, totaling 200 rounds. Consequently, this case supports sight-in work, field practice, hunting season, and reserve storage. Federal loads this ammunition in brass cases with Boxer primers, and retailer listings identify it as reloadable and non-corrosive.
