Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Federal Non-Typical ammunition

I have just ordered a couple boxes of these in ,243 Winchester, the price was unbeatable and I need the brass.

Looking for experience on game with this line of ammunition.

Thanks!

Not familiar with that one. But I could use a little brass as well. Where did you get them?

My understanding is Fed Non-Typical is Fed Blue Box with different packaging. That's not a bad thing.

Cabelas in Canada, sale on right now.

PIcked up a box in the '06 a few weeks ago at the local Academy store, but don't think y'all have them up north...but not sure.

That’s exactly what it is. And they introduced it at some great prices. The 243 mentioned above is $15.99 on our shelves. I don’t know what everybody else is seeing price wise, but it’s the most affordable, quality centerfire rifle ammunition we have on the shelf.

I agree. I have ordered two boxes, if it shoots well in my rifle, I will definitely stock up.

Shot a box of 308 non typical today. Shot as well as federal always does for me, great. I gotta say though, I kinda prefer the old blue packaging.

I sells here for 10% less than the blue box, minimum. I can live with the packaging!

Any on game performance?

They have a $5 rebate going on.

Any on-game performance guys?

I haven’t shot anything since it was rebranded to Non-Typical, but I shot several deer with it when it came in the blue box in 30-30, 270, and 308. About what you’d expect, nearly identical to the Remington Core-Loct, Winchester Power Point or Hornady Interlock. Good expansion with adequate penetration. 150s in the 308 and 130s in the 270 would *usually* not exit the animal. Heavier bullets usually would. The 30-30 rarely exited. I’d say over half of the bullets would separate jacket from the core. Not such a bad thing for deer, could be an issue if you’re trying to shoot bigger things. Quick kills with good shot placement, not excessive meat damage.

works perfectly



federal 100 grain blue box out of my wife's browning 243



federal blue box 30/30

non typical is re packaged federal blue box

you make her shoot a browning!!!!!! what kind of man are you? I done even see any blue tape!! you must make amends get her a pree 64 in something neet ok carry on .

Federal brass is a little heaver than either Remington or Winchester. Other than that, just fine.

I rarely carry enough that the difference in weight is significant! Just “jerking your chain” a little! memtb

So THAT'S what's been kicking my ass all of these years!

Shot nine smaller hogs with it in 150 gr .308 March of this year. Shot from Steyr Scout and R25, all 160 # or less. Be Well. Rusty
