Best Uses

Heavy copper bullets drive deep, which is what big animals call for. Zero with this load and check it again at the distances you expect in the field, since copper and lead bullets can hit in different spots. Use it for elk, moose and bear, and for deer if you want one lead-free load for all your tags. Keep a few rounds aside to check your zero after travel. For hunters in lead-restricted areas who carry a 30-06, Federal Trophy Copper 30-06 180 grain covers the biggest game on the list.

FAQ

What states require copper bullets?
Rules change and vary by area. California requires lead-free ammo for hunting statewide, and some other places limit lead on certain lands. Check your state’s current rules.

Is 180 grain copper good for moose?
A heavy copper bullet like this one is a common choice for moose. It holds its weight and penetrates deeply, so shot placement becomes the main concern.

Do copper bullets shoot the same as lead?
Not always. Copper bullets are longer for their weight and may group or print differently. Always confirm your zero when you switch.

What is lead free ammo?
It is ammo with bullets made without lead. Federal Trophy Copper uses a copper bullet, so this load is lead-free.
