Federal Fusion ammunition brings serious hunting credibility to the .460 S&W Magnum with engineering designed specifically for what short-barrel revolvers do best. The 260-grain soft point bullet sits at the sweet spot for handgun hunters: enough weight for penetration and energy transfer, paired with a velocity that keeps recoil manageable compared to lighter, faster loads. You're looking at 1478 foot-pounds of muzzle energy delivered with a Fusion soft point that's been engineered to expand consistently without shedding its jacket.
The Fusion bullet uses an electrochemical bonding process that molecularly fuses the copper jacket to the lead core. This isn't traditional bonding where separate components are soldered together after assembly; instead, the jacket is applied directly to the core at a molecular level, creating a bond that virtually eliminates jacket-core separation even at impact velocities. The bullet features a skived tip that initiates controlled expansion and a pressure-formed core for uniform density and weight. These features work together to retain mass even through heavy bone and muscle, which translates to deeper penetration and more consistent terminal performance on game.
Federal specifically optimized this load for the .460 S&W platform, which means the bullet weight and velocity combination delivers what you need for deer and similar medium-sized game without excessive recoil that can throw off your shot placement. This is a practical approach to handgun hunting: real-world terminal performance beats raw velocity numbers on paper. The brass cases are reloadable, which matters for a cartridge like this where ammunition costs add up. The standard 20-round box makes for convenient field carry and storage.
Fusion Soft Point ammunition has proven itself as a reliable choice for hunting across diverse conditions. You'll find consistent performance whether hunting in thick brush at close range or taking longer shots across open terrain where the flat trajectory of a magnum handgun load gives you an edge.
Federal's Fusion uses an electrochemical bonding process that molecularly fuses the copper jacket directly to the lead core, eliminating the separation that can occur with traditional bonded bullets. The result is maximum weight retention even after heavy impact, better accuracy from consistent core density, and predictable expansion for reliable terminal performance.
The .460 S&W cartridge is well-suited for extended-range handgun hunting, and this 260-grain Fusion load is optimized for practical hunting distances where short-barrel revolvers excel. The flat trajectory and accuracy potential of the .460 platform make it capable of ethical shots well beyond 100 yards when fired from properly maintained, scoped firearms.
Federal purposefully designed this 260-grain load to deliver lethal performance on medium game while keeping recoil more manageable than lighter, faster loads. The goal is hitting what you're aiming at, and excessive recoil that throws off your shot placement defeats that purpose. You'll feel less muzzle jump and fatigue compared to lighter bullet weights at higher velocities.
Yes, the Federal Fusion cases are manufactured with reloadable brass and boxer primers, making them suitable for handloaders. Since .460 S&W ammunition carries a premium price, many hunters reload to reduce per-round costs over time.
