Federal Premium 25-06 Remington ammo loaded with Barnes Triple Shock X bullets brings flat trajectory and controlled expansion to medium and large game hunts. The 25-06 Remington cartridge—a necked-down .30-06 Springfield case—pushes lightweight bullets to high velocity for minimal drop at extended range. Federal Premium pairs this cartridge with Barnes all-copper construction for hunters who need deep penetration and consistent expansion without lead exposure.
Built for the Box
Barnes Triple Shock X bullets are machined from a single piece of copper. The deep hollow-point tip initiates expansion on impact, creating four cutting petals that slice through hide, muscle, and bone. Grooved bullet shanks reduce barrel fouling and improve accuracy by managing copper deposits. Federal Premium brass cases accept Boxer primers for straightforward reloading—inspect each case for split necks or loose primer pockets before resizing. Non-corrosive propellant burns clean, leaving minimal residue in the chamber and bore.

This load fits bolt-action and single-shot rifles chambered in 25-06 Remington. Verify chamber dimensions before firing—headspace out of specification can cause case head separation or primer blowout. Additional 25-06 ammo options are available for target practice and varmint control.
Who It’s For
Deer and antelope hunters who shoot at ranges beyond 300 yards benefit from the flat trajectory and retained energy of this load. The lead-free copper construction satisfies regulations in California and other jurisdictions that mandate non-lead projectiles on public land. Reloaders can resize the once-fired brass for subsequent range sessions—anneal case necks every three firings to extend case life.
Safe Handling & Compliance
Federal law requires purchasers to be at least 18 years old for rifle and shotgun ammunition, and at least 21 for handgun ammunition. Ammunition cannot be shipped to certain states, counties, and cities—review our ammunition shipping restrictions before ordering. Store ammunition in a cool, dry location away from heat sources and out of reach of unauthorized users.
- Treat every firearm as if loaded. Keep muzzle pointed in a safe direction at all times.
- Verify current federal, state, and local ammunition possession and use laws in your jurisdiction before ordering.
- Inspect each cartridge before chambering—dented cases or exposed primers can cause misfires or dangerous pressure spikes.
