The 6mm, 270 and 7mm Deep Shok are supposed to be shipping in June.

Ive got some of the 165s and cut one open, they look exceptional! I hope they will eventually expand the calibers their offered in.

My wife used 30-06 180 grain Deep Shok factory ammo on a kudu bull last September. Recovered the bullet under the hide on the off side and it looked like a something you would see in an advertisment photo (perfect mushroom with great weight retention).

I called Federal recently and was told they are not offering this loaded ammunition anymore.

Glad to hear they are making the bullets available. While this one positive experience does not warrant an unqualified endorsement, it certainly has my attention.

We also used the 180 Deep Shok in factory ammo a few years ago with great results.

Now I do have some 180's to reload and will test them in May on Plains Game.

Well, it appears Nosler and/or Sierra pissed and moaned enough that Federal acquiesced to leaving their Premium line of ammo to them. It's a shame.

I can see how they would be concerned, for sure. I'll bet the Deep-Shok will equal or out-do the good ol' Partition any day (and at a lower price!). Also, I'm sure they will easily out-perfrom anything made by Sierra. No contest.

I think the Deep-Shok caught both of these companies resting on their laurels, and now they're playing "Keep the Cat in the Bag."
