Fed Pwrshk 8mm Mau 170gr Sp 20/200

Federal PowerShok 8mm Mauser 170 Grain Soft Point ammunition delivers proven hunting performance at a price point accessible to shooters maintaining historical caliber rifles. The 170-grain jacketed soft point load achieves 2,250 feet per second, providing the velocity-to-weight balance that 8mm Mauser platforms are engineered for. PowerShok rounds use Federal's reliable brass, quality primers, and consistent powder charges—the foundational components that separate dependable ammunition from the rest.

The soft point design expands reliably on impact while maintaining structural integrity through heavy bone and muscle, characteristics that define medium to large game ammunition. At 2,250 fps, the 170-grain bullet generates sufficient energy for ethical shot placement on game within typical hunting ranges. This load sits at the standard velocity tier for 8mm Mauser, meaning point-of-aim and ballistic trajectory will align with factory-load zero assumptions on rifles already in service. Each box contains 20 rounds, supporting standard practice sessions, ammunition rotation, and field deployment without excessive bulk.

Users of pre-1898 and post-war 8mm Mauser rifles—from military surplus Mausers to civilian conversions—choose PowerShok loads when factory ammunition scarcity makes proprietary offerings unreliable. The cartridge's continued availability through Federal ensures shooters aren't forced to abandon historically significant firearms or resort to hand-loading. This round addresses a genuine supply gap for operators and hunters working with classic 8mm platforms in modern conditions.

The 8mm Mauser cartridge remains a capable intermediate rifle round. PowerShok's traditional lead-core construction and soft-point expansion deliver predictable ballistics without premium pricing. For those maintaining and shooting 8mm rifles, this ammunition represents the standard expectation for performance and reliability.
