Federal Premium .30-06 Springfield 165 Grain Barnes TSX lead-free – 20 Rounds (Box)

Federal Premium .30-06 Springfield 165 grain Barnes TSX ammunition is a lead free hunting load that gives up nothing in the field. Each round is topped with the Barnes Triple Shock X, an all copper bullet respected for rapid expansion, exceptional weight retention and deep penetration. That combination is exactly the terminal behaviour you want for a quick, humane harvest on deer, hogs and similar game. It is a serious hunting load in a cartridge that has already proven everything it needs to prove.

What Federal Premium .30-06 Springfield 165 Grain TSX Is For

This is a hunting load first and foremost, built for the shooter who wants monolithic copper terminal performance out of a classic American cartridge. Because the TSX contains no lead, it is also the right pick for hunts in areas with lead free requirements, and for eco conscious shooters who simply prefer copper.

The 165 grain weight is the traditional middle ground in this cartridge, heavy enough to drive deep on larger bodied game and light enough to shoot flat across a field or a canyon. If you own one rifle and have a mixed season ahead of you, Federal Premium .30-06 Springfield in this loading covers most of it without asking you to compromise on either end.

Specifications in Plain English

Each box holds 20 rounds of .30-06 Springfield loaded with a 165 grain Barnes Triple Shock X, leaving the muzzle at 2800 fps and carrying 2872 ft lbs of energy. Those figures take full advantage of a legendary cartridge that has earned more than a century of trust for its blend of power, versatility and long range accuracy. Nickel plated brass rounds out the package, and it is more than cosmetic.

Nickel plating resists corrosion in a damp pack or a sweaty pocket, feeds smoothly from a magazine and releases cleanly from the chamber, which is exactly what you want on a cold morning with one chance at an animal. This load comes from Federal Premium, and you can find it listed in our online catalog alongside the rest of our gear.

Practical Use, Storage and Rifle Compatibility

Any rifle chambered in .30-06 Springfield and in sound mechanical condition will run Federal Premium .30-06 Springfield hunting ammunition without fuss. Copper bullets often print to a slightly different point of impact than lead core loads, so sight in with the exact ammunition you intend to hunt with and confirm zero at your expected distance rather than assuming your old dope carries over. Monolithic bullets also tend to prefer a little more barrel length and velocity, which the .30-06 supplies in abundance.

Store the boxes somewhere cool, dry and out of reach of anyone who should not have them. Ammunition kept at stable temperature and humidity stays good for a very long time, while a hot truck cab or a damp basement is the fastest way to shorten its life. Rotate your stock, shoot the oldest first, and buy enough that practice never eats into your hunting supply.

Stock up on Federal Premium .30-06 Springfield 165 grain Barnes TSX before the season opens, then get your rifle zeroed with the exact load you plan to carry into the woods. Ships direct to your door, no FFL required.
