I've tried the 300 grain Hi-shock at the range. It was surprisingly accurate, pretty close to my best handloads. Dont know anything about bullet performance though, but its probably better than you might guess.
If I saw some at 25 bucks a box I'd buy 4-5 boxes. Worse case scenario is you use them for practice and have some good cases left over.

I too have found them quite accurate and they work extreamly well aginst thick skinned hogs... The 375 H&H is about all I shoot these days and the 300gr. Hi-shock is a pretty good round and I believe it to be well made enough to use on any north american game.
Not sure, but in the past they sure looked like Hornady Interlock. Now that Hornady dropped the Interlock for 375 cal, Federal is now using Speer Grand Slams
The only thing I found for <$ recently was 300gr PMP SPs @$18.50/box. I looked at sites like Cheaper Than Dirt, Graf & Sons, and Midway and their prices on Federal and Remington loadings are higher then my local shop.
