For hunters and precision shooters who demand deep, reliable terminal performance without sacrificing long-range accuracy, an all-copper, monolithic projectile offers a clear advantage. This type of construction solves several common tradeoffs between expansion, weight retention, and barrel friendliness.

FEDERAL PREMIUM brings back the proven Barnes TripleShock X in a modern load that emphasizes controlled expansion and deep penetration. The monolithic, all-copper hollow-point design groups tightly at long range while producing large-diameter expansion. Its nearly 100 percent weight retention on impact delivers penetration power that hunters and backcountry guides trust. Shop this product

Why FEDERAL PREMIUM stands out

The key features listed in the product description are performance-driven. The all-copper hollow point resists fragmentation and expands consistently, producing substantial wound channels. The monolithic construction retains almost all of its mass, which means deeper penetration on large game or through barriers where weight retention matters. A grooved shank reduces barrel fouling compared to traditional solid-copper designs and contributes to repeatable accuracy shot-to-shot.

Ballistics and field applications

While specific calibers and loads vary in the FEDERAL PREMIUM line, the core benefits remain the same across platforms: tight grouping potential at extended ranges and predictable, large-diameter expansion. These qualities make it suitable for medium to large game hunting and for precision shooters who want consistent terminal performance without the risk of core separation. The product’s proven Barnes TripleShock X heritage signals a design optimized for both energy transfer and deep penetration.

Price is straightforward: this offering is listed at $46.99, reflecting the advanced monolithic construction and performance focus. View product details and pricing

Practical notes for shooters

Expect reliable feeding and minimal lead-like fouling thanks to the grooved shank. When zeroing, verify group consistency at your intended hunting range to maximize the projectile’s long-range grouping capability. Because calibers and specific loads vary, match the load to your rifle and intended application for best results.
