FEDERAL 300 WSM - 200 GR - POLYMER TIP - 20 RDS/BOX
FederalThe Federal Premium 300 WSM 200 Grain Polymer Tip is a hard-hitting, match-accurate hunting round engineered for devastating terminal performance at both short and extreme ranges, making it one of the most versatile big-game cartridges available in the 300 Winchester Short Magnum chambering.
- 200-grain polymer tip bullet delivers consistent long-range ballistics and expansion
- Extremely high ballistic coefficient minimizes wind drift and velocity loss downrange
- Polymer tip resists deformation in the magazine for shot-to-shot consistency
- Concentric copper jacket and robust shank ensure deep, controlled penetration
- Federal brass casings and specially formulated propellant maximize accuracy and reliability
- Uniform match-grade jacket construction promotes tight groupings at extended ranges
Who This Is For
This load is purpose-built for serious big-game hunters pursuing elk, moose, bear, and other large North American game at variable distances. It's an ideal choice for hunters who demand match-level accuracy from their 300 WSM rifle without sacrificing the terminal expansion and energy transfer needed for ethical, clean kills — whether shooting across an open mountain basin or through dense timber at closer ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions
What big game is the Federal 300 WSM 200 Grain Polymer Tip best suited for?
This load is optimized for large and heavy big-game animals including elk, moose, black bear, and mule deer. The 200-grain bullet weight combined with the high ballistic coefficient and controlled expansion design ensures sufficient penetration and energy transfer for ethical kills on tough, large-bodied animals, even at extended ranges where velocity has dropped significantly.
How does the polymer tip improve performance compared to a standard soft-point bullet?
The polymer tip serves two critical functions: it protects the bullet's profile during feeding and in the magazine, preventing deformation that could affect flight consistency, and it acts as an initiator upon impact — driving rearward into the lead core to trigger rapid, reliable expansion even at reduced velocities typical of long-range shooting. This results in more consistent terminal performance across a wider range of distances than traditional soft-point designs.
Is this ammunition compatible with all 300 WSM bolt-action rifles?
Yes, this Federal Premium ammunition is loaded to standard 300 WSM SAAMI specifications and is compatible with any rifle chambered in 300 Winchester Short Magnum, including popular platforms from Winchester, Browning, Savage, Remington, and others. Always verify your rifle's chamber and barrel specifications with the manufacturer, and ensure your firearm is in proper working condition before use.
