Federal Premium Cape-Shok Centerfire Rifle Ammunition

Federal Premium Cape-Shok Centerfire Rifle Ammunition – The Ultimate Dangerous Game Load

When failure is not an option, professional hunters and safari guides trust Federal Premium Cape-Shok Centerfire Rifle Ammunition to deliver absolute reliability, deep penetration, and devastating stopping power against the world’s most dangerous game. Engineered for elephant, Cape buffalo, grizzly bear, and other thick-skinned megafauna, this ammunition combines premium bullet technology, nickel-plated corrosion resistance, and match-grade consistency, making Federal Premium Cape-Shok Centerfire Rifle Ammunition the definitive choice for life-or-death hunting scenarios.

Engineered for the Hunt That Demands Perfection

Unlike standard hunting ammunition, Cape-Shok is specifically engineered for extreme penetration and terminal performance on the most dangerous game. These are animals capable of charging at over 30 mph and surviving marginal hits. Every component of this ammunition is carefully optimized to ensure maximum effectiveness in the field. The bonded-core bullets deliver instant stopping power through superior sectional density and energy transfer. The bonded-core bullets hit hard and stop the target quickly, just like Hornady Superformance SST Centerfire Rifle Rounds. This design also supports straight-line penetration through thick muscle, dense bone, and vital organs. Additionally, the nickel-plated brass cases are crafted for flawless feeding in dangerous game rifles, even in the harshest environmental conditions.

Proven Bullet Technologies for Maximum Lethality

Federal equips Cape-Shok with the industry’s most respected dangerous-game projectiles, including:

• Trophy Bonded Bear Claw

Engineered for ultimate performance in the field, Federal Premium Cape-Shok Centerfire Rifle Ammunition features a bonded core and solid shank design that delivers over 95% weight retention—ensuring deep, reliable penetration on even the toughest game. Its controlled expansion produces massive wound channels, maximizing stopping power with every shot. This ammunition has been rigorously tested by professional hunters on Cape buffalo exceeding 2,000 pounds, proving its unmatched effectiveness in real-world, high-stakes scenarios.

• Barnes TSX & Swift A-Frame

The copper monolithic construction of this ammunition ensures deep, consistent penetration, making it highly effective for hunting large and dangerous game. Unlike traditional bullets, its solid copper design retains weight and structure upon impact, allowing it to punch through tough hides and bone with ease. Additionally, it offers predictable expansion even at lower velocities, delivering reliable terminal performance across a wide range of shooting conditions. This combination of strength and controlled expansion makes it a trusted choice for hunters who demand precision and power in every shot.

• Woodleigh Hydro Solid & Sledgehammer Solid

Federal Premium Cape-Shok Centerfire Rifle Ammunition is loaded with non-deforming solid bullets specifically engineered for maximum penetration. These projectiles are designed to retain their shape and weight upon impact, ensuring deep, straight-line wound channels through the toughest hides and bones. This makes them the ideal choice for critical brain or spine shots on large and dangerous game such as elephant or hippo, where precision and uncompromising terminal performance are essential.
