Frequently Asked Questions
Is Federal Power-Shok 7.62x39mm suitable for deer hunting?
Yes. The 123-grain soft point bullet is specifically designed for hunting applications, offering controlled expansion that transfers energy efficiently into the target. It is a suitable choice for deer, hogs, and similarly sized game at typical hunting ranges, making it one of the more practical hunting loads available in the 7.62x39mm caliber.
Will this ammunition work reliably in my AK-47 or SKS rifle?
Federal Power-Shok 7.62x39mm is manufactured to SAAMI specifications and is compatible with any firearm chambered in 7.62x39mm, including AK-47, AKM, AK-pattern pistols, and SKS rifles. As with any ammunition, always verify your specific firearm's recommended specifications before use.
How does soft point ammunition differ from full metal jacket (FMJ) for this caliber?
Unlike FMJ bullets, which have a complete metal jacket that limits expansion, soft point bullets feature an exposed lead tip that initiates controlled mushrooming upon impact. This expansion increases the bullet's diameter, delivering more energy to the target and reducing over-penetration — qualities that make soft point loads far more appropriate for hunting than FMJ practice rounds.
