Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ammunition suitable for hunting coyotes and other predators?
Yes. The Federal PowerShok 50-grain jacketed soft point is purpose-built for varmint and predator hunting. The soft point tip initiates rapid expansion upon impact, delivering effective energy transfer on targets like coyotes, foxes, and similarly sized game, while the 3,140 fps velocity provides a flat-shooting trajectory for longer shots in open terrain.
Will this .223 Rem ammunition work in my AR-15 or semi-automatic rifle?
Federal PowerShok .223 Rem is compatible with most bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles chambered in .223 Remington. However, always confirm your specific firearm's chamber specifications. Rifles marked ".223 Rem" are optimized for this cartridge, while those marked "5.56 NATO" can typically fire .223 Rem safely as well. Consult your owner's manual if unsure.
How should I store this ammunition to maintain its performance?
Store Federal PowerShok ammunition in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and humidity. Keep rounds in their original box or a sealed ammo container to protect the brass casings and primers from moisture and corrosion. Properly stored centerfire ammunition can remain reliable for decades.
