Federal Premium Safari Ammunition 9.3x74mm Rimmed 286 Grain Woodleigh Hydrostatically Stabilized Solid Bullets 20RD

Federal Premium Safari 9.3x74mmR ammunition with 286-grain Woodleigh Hydro Solid bullets is purpose-built for hunters pursuing dangerous game at medium to long range. The 9.3x74mmR is a classic European rifle cartridge favored for cape buffalo, lion, and other large African game, and Federal's Cape-Shok line pairs proven brass and powder with premium bullet construction engineered to handle the demands of tough, thick-skinned quarry. If you're running a classic double rifle or single-shot in this caliber, this ammunition delivers the penetration and stopping power that separates a clean, ethical harvest from a wounded animal.

Woodleigh Hydro Solids are solid copper-alloy projectiles designed to resist deformation and maintain a straight trajectory through bone and heavy muscle. Unlike expanding rounds, solids rely on their dense construction and velocity to create a deep, straight wound channel—ideal for large game where barrier-resistant performance and deep penetration matter more than rapid expansion. Federal's quality-control standards ensure consistent brass, primer, and powder loading so you can trust shot-to-shot reliability in the field.

This box contains 20 rounds, enough for hunting trips or range practice in a cartridge where ammunition choices are limited compared to common deer and elk loads. The 9.3x74mmR's larger bore and moderate velocity suit it well to solids; Federal's Safari line respects the cartridge's heritage and the hunting traditions it represents.
