Federal 223 64gr SP Power-Shok Ammunition - 223L

I like the rounds alot. I shot a doe from the side which left a grapefruit sized hole. I can't believe people think this round is inadequate for deer. The only issue I had was if I chambered the rounds slowly I had to use the forward assist to get them to full seat. I would buy these again.

I use this for chucks in a Ruger American Predator rifle.

Loved the cost, hate the way you have to get a rebate, I decide not to even try, still good shells.

Haven't shot any of it yet, but I've always had great performance from Federal products. The brass and bullets are clean and shiny. At the price I paid and with the $5 per box rebate I couldn't pass up this great offer, especially with the free shipping. The shipping was incredibly fast too. Ordered on Nov 13 and received the ammo on 17 Nov.

Picked the Federal 223 64gr SP Power-Shok Ammunition - 223L up on sale plus rebate for $2.99 a box which is unheard of for a good all a round .223 loading for small to medium sized Deer, coyotes and self defense use out to 150yds. Now you have to keep your barrel length over 20" inches to have good performance since shorter barrels 16"inches and under will have less velocity will only see useful multi purpose results out to 100 yards. Accuracy is average but more then enough at the effective ranges suggested. If your only going to use this brand for hunting coyotes and indoor self defense use then run with the 55gr version.

Great ammo!... I used this with a 16” 1:7 twist Nitride barrel and shot 1 to.5 MOA consistently at 50 and 100 yards. Can’t speak on the blood trails or knock down power, I was so confident I got a neck shot and a head shot at 85 yards and of course they dropped in their tracks.

I haven't shot any of it yet but I was happy with the price after Federal rebate and even happier when Norton refunded the difference after the price dropped $3 per box.

16 inch PSA chrome lined hammer forged 1/7 twist barrel. double lung shot just behind the heart average 150 lbs whitetail doe. Shot 45 yards. Jumped straight up fell on ground got up and took off, last seen 100 yards bounding up and down steep ravines. No blood trail. Killed 225 lbs 8 point year before 77 otm same distance killed same hit, 45 yards. OTM and at least a dozen more killed. I don't think this 64 grain expanded and I don't think it exited. If I use it on deer again it will be head shots.

These will make a good medium range hunting load. Ballistics are good and will run in bolt action rifles for that purpose. Federal has great ammo lines reasonably priced and with promos a great deal.

Clean, accurate ammunition PLUS a $50.00 rebate in the form of a debit card, how can you afford to pass this deal up?

I submitted everything requested yet the rebate was rejected. Don't waste your time.

Good clean ammo. Fast shipping as per my experience with PSA! Got this shipment in four days (Fri) shot groups out of several rifles and two pistols. Best five shots were out of my Remington 700 varmint at 3/5th". Worst if you can call it that was 2 3/4" from my PSA 10 1/2" pistol! All groups were shot at 100 yds. 56* f, 388 foot elv. And 22% humidity. Vel. From my 24" brl REM was 3106 fps and from my 8" pistol was 2585 fps.
Got 10 boxes (200 RDS). Wish I had gotten more....

I ordered the item late Tuesday with free shipping and received by noon on Friday. Very good service. The rounds look perfect and the boxes were in good shape. No complaints at all.

Last week I put a new scope on my MMR Hunter took it to my range to zero the scope and shot 3/4" groups at 100 yards with this ammo.

Yesterday morning I used this ammo easily take down two healthy large does at approximately 100 yards. Shot one through the heart and one in the lungs. These rounds really expand well and don't ruin a bunch of meat. Neither doe ran more than 40 yards before it expired.

I really like this ammo fired from my 24" bear creek barrel, consistent grouping out to 200 yards,not match grade but good enough for hunting

First and foremost, accuracy = 1/4" groups at 25 measured meters at an altitude of 930ft out of a 10.5 inch PSA NATO barrel. Get it while it's cheap, this stuff is AMAZING!

Ballistics, average chronograph is around 2620, and I write this because you will have an EXTREMELY difficult time finding that info anywhere else, as well as the ballistics table below. Keep in mind, the purpose of this round is to provide an expanding soft-point bullet for wound channels, not a hyper-velocity round with hydrostatic-shock such as an m193 or m855 FMJ. Hope the table below helps someone decide to buy it because I'm happy with mine!

Weight: 64gr
Ballistics Coefficient: 0.256

From a 10.5" barrel: Yards / Velocity FPS / Energy ft-lb
0yd = 2620 975
25yd = 2532 911
50yd = 2446 850
75yd = 2362 793
100yd = 2280 739
125yd = 2199 687
150yd = 2120 638
175yd = 2042 593
200yd = 1966 549

Great quality ammo! Great price too!

The delivery and service was great, and so was the price. However the rebate offer got complex with more than 4 boxes.

3% not, 12/400. 1-2 per box, same lot#. They still go bang when I jerk the trigger. Good small game rd. Happy, happy, antifa not so much...

Great ammo! Has superb ballistics and impressive wound channel. Maybe some of these reviewers prefer to display their ammo. I like to shoot mine and don’t really care what it looks like!

The price before the rebate was good, but getting the rebate plus free shipping was great!

The brass and the 10 boxes I purchased is all shiny. I'll update after testing it out in the rifle I intend to use when I hunt with this ammo.

Unlike the other reviews, my ammo came with nice shiny brass.

Not sure what the deal is, but just like the other reviewer, my ammo came pretty well tarnished like it hasn't been stored properly or something? The headstamp shows as 2018, so it IS new ammo, just think it's a tad on the dirty side for premium stuff! I also have not shot any, so will update if needed.

I purchased this ammo due to the decent rebate Federal was offering. The ammo brass and bullet copper jackets were highly tarnished. Not sure if this is why they were offering the rebates. Haven't fired it yet.
