Federal Premium Trophy Copper Rifle Ammunition .30-06 Sprg 165 Gr Tc 2800 Fps 20/Ct

Federal Premium Trophy Copper rifle ammunition combines proven bullet construction with consistent ballistics in the classic .30-06 Springfield cartridge. If you hunt medium to large game across varied terrain and need reliable expansion with deep penetration, the 165-grain Trophy Copper loads deliver the performance hunters have trusted for years. This round generates 2800 feet per second from a standard rifle, giving you flat trajectory and predictable energy delivery from close range to extended distances.

The Trophy Copper's copper-alloy projectile is engineered to retain up to 99 percent of its weight through the animal, maximizing penetration while still expanding reliably. The polymer tip initiates expansion across a broad velocity window—meaning consistent performance whether you're hunting at typical hunting ranges or pushing distance. A grooved bullet shank promotes accuracy across different .30-06 rifles, and the boat-tail design boosts the ballistic coefficient for less bullet drop and wind drift downrange.

Federal loads these rounds consistently and quality-checks them to the standard you'd expect from a major ammunition manufacturer. Whether you're sighting in for fall deer season, planning a western elk hunt, or maintaining your rifle's zero, Trophy Copper delivers the accuracy and terminal performance to get the job done. Each box contains 20 rounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What game is Federal Trophy Copper .30-06 suitable for?

The 165-grain Trophy Copper is designed for medium to large game. The combination of weight retention and controlled expansion makes it effective on everything from deer and antelope to moose and elk.

How does the polymer tip affect bullet performance?

The polymer tip is engineered to initiate expansion across a broad velocity range. This means the bullet will expand reliably whether you hit game at close range or at extended distance, providing consistent terminal performance.

Will Trophy Copper ammunition work in my standard .30-06 rifle?

Yes. The Trophy Copper is a standard .30-06 Springfield load designed to function reliably in any rifle chambered for that cartridge. The grooved bullet shank is engineered to deliver accuracy across a wide range of .30-06 rifles.

What is the weight retention, and why does it matter?

Federal's copper-alloy construction provides up to 99 percent weight retention, meaning the bullet stays together through the animal instead of fragmenting. This delivers deeper penetration and more reliable energy transfer to the vitals.
