Federal Premium Ammunition 30-06 Springfield 180 Grain Trophy Bonded Tip 20RD

The Federal Premium 30-06 Springfield 180 Grain Trophy Bonded Tip ammunition is a serious choice for hunters pursuing medium and big game across open country or dense timber. Built on proven bonded-bullet technology, this round pairs a solid copper shank with a polymer-tipped design engineered for reliable expansion and deep penetration on game-sized targets at practical hunting ranges.

What sets Trophy Bonded Tip apart is the construction philosophy: a robust bonded core resists fragmentation, while the exterior skiving promotes controlled expansion without sacrificing weight retention. The polymer tip enhances ballistic efficiency and helps tighten groups, and the boat-tail profile contributes to a flatter trajectory downrange. You get a 180-grain bullet launched at 2700 feet per second, yielding a ballistic coefficient of .500—respectable velocity and energy retention for a classic big-game round.

Federal loaded these with their Gold Medal primer and a specially formulated propellant containing copper-reducing additives. The cartridge cases are nickel-plated for smooth extraction and corrosion resistance, reducing stuck-case headaches in the field. Each box contains 20 rounds, ready to load and shoot.

Whether you're hunting elk in the high country, whitetail in November, or anything in between, 30-06 Springfield with a 180-grain bonded bullet remains one of the most trusted big-game combinations. Federal's Trophy Bonded Tip delivers the accuracy and terminal performance serious hunters expect.

Frequently Asked Questions

What game can I hunt with 30-06 Springfield 180-grain Trophy Bonded Tip?

Federal designed this load for the full spectrum of medium and big game—elk, moose, bear, and trophy-class whitetail and mule deer are all well within its capability at any practical hunting range. The 180-grain weight and bonded construction provide the penetration and expansion needed for reliable performance on large, tough game.

How far will this ammunition shoot accurately?

The ballistic coefficient of .500 and boat-tail design help the bullet retain velocity and energy downrange. The polymer tip and bonded core are engineered for accuracy, but actual effective range depends on your rifle, optics, and shooting skill. The terminal performance minimum velocity is 1600 fps, which guides maximum practical distance planning.

What's included in each box?

Each box contains 20 rounds of loaded Federal Premium ammunition, ready to load into your magazine and shoot.

Why are the cases nickel-plated?

Nickel plating makes extraction smoother and helps protect the brass from corrosion, especially in wet or humid hunting conditions. It's a practical feature that reduces stuck-case problems and extends the life of your reloading brass if you're a hand-loader.
