From Federal
Extract maximum performance from your favorite cartridge with Federal Premium Trophy Copper, the freezer-filler rifle ammunition of MeatEater’s Steven Rinella. Nineteen cartridge options are available in the Trophy Copper product line. Options span from .223 Rem. and .243 Win. to .300 Win. Mag. and .338 Lapua Mag. New for 2020, is the flat-shooting .280 Ackley Improved cartridge. The new 140-grain load delivers the accuracy and expansion the product line is known for, yet produces limited, manageable recoil. Shipments of this product have begun to arrive at dealers.
