Federal Premium Vital-Shok 454 Casull 250 Grain Barnes XPB Hollow Point lead-free ammo delivers the stopping power and reliability serious handgun hunters demand. Built around Barnes all-copper hollow point projectiles, this ammunition is engineered for the magnum revolver hunter who refuses to compromise on performance or environmental responsibility. Each box contains 20 rounds loaded to consistent specifications, making it a trusted choice for hunting large game at distance or dangerous game at close quarters.

The Barnes XPB (eXpanding Projectile) design is built entirely from copper, which means 100 percent weight retention through the target—no core/jacket separation, no fragmentation, just maximum energy transfer and deep, reliable penetration. The hollow point expands predictably across a wide velocity range, delivering the kind of wound channel you need when your quarry is measured in hundreds of pounds. Federal's quality control and consistent loading make this ammo accurate enough for practice and confident enough for the hunt.

Lead-free construction makes this round compliant with non-toxic ammunition requirements in many jurisdictions and a responsible choice for hunters mindful of their impact on habitat and wildlife. At 250 grains, this bullet weight strikes a balance between velocity and momentum in the 454 Casull platform, suitable for a range of game and shooting conditions. Whether you're stalking elk in the high country or working closer to home, these rounds are built to perform when it counts.
