The Federal Power-Shok 400 Legend 210-grain Jacketed Soft Point (JSP) load is a high-performance centerfire rifle cartridge engineered specifically for straight-wall hunting regulations. The primary frustration for hunters in straight-wall jurisdictions is finding a cartridge that delivers enough downrange stopping power for big game without punishing your shoulder with unmanageable recoil. Federal eliminates this field bottleneck by pairing a heavy-for-caliber 210-grain soft point with an optimized powder charge, providing the hard-hitting momentum needed for ethical harvests alongside exceptionally smooth shootability.
The technical advantage focuses on maximizing energy transfer and deep vital-zone penetration. Launching its heavy hunting payload at a stout muzzle velocity of 2,250 FPS, this round punches out a massive 2,360 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The jacketed soft point design features an exposed lead nose that initiates rapid, controlled expansion upon hitting soft tissue, while the heavy copper jacket reinforces the bullet's core. This structural integrity prevents premature fragmentation, ensuring the bullet smashes through dense bone and deep tissue to dump its full energy right where it counts.
Engineered to deliver laser-straight accuracy and rock-solid reliability in the woods, this modern straight-wall cartridge offers incredibly stable flight characteristics and a predictable trajectory. To guarantee absolute performance across traditional bolt-action hunting rifles and modern AR-platform rifles alike, Federal builds this series with premium reloadable brass cases and ultra-reliable non-corrosive primers. This ensures slick chambering, an airtight seal, and crisp mechanical extraction under cold, damp, or muddy field conditions.
