Federal Fusion .223 Rem 62gr Soft Point Bonded Ammo

Description

The Federal Fusion .223 Remington 62-grain load stands out because it was purpose-built for hunting rather than adapted from military or range ammo. Since its introduction, it's gained a reputation for reliable, clean kills on medium game thanks to a bullet design that sets it apart from standard soft points.

Bonded Bullet Technology in the Fusion .223

The key to this round's performance is how Federal builds the bullet itself. The lead core and copper jacket are electrochemically bonded together at the molecular level, which eliminates any possibility of separation during impact. This matters because bullet failures cost you game. A core that stays attached to the jacket means maximum energy transfer and predictable expansion every single time. The 62-grain weight sits in that sweet spot for .223 rifles, heavy enough to deliver penetration and energy on medium game without requiring exotic barrel twist rates.

Real-World Hunting Results

The construction includes a polymer tip that improves ballistic coefficient and promotes rapid, consistent expansion the moment the bullet enters tissue. The boat tail design enhances aerodynamics for flatter trajectories downrange. From bench testing to field use, these rounds deliver groups you can count on, and more importantly, terminal performance that shows on target. The energy at the muzzle sits around 1240 foot-pounds, which is appropriate for what many consider the practical limit of .223 for medium game with quality bullets like these.

What You Get in the Box

Each box contains 20 rounds of new production ammunition loaded into reloadable brass cases with non-corrosive boxer primers. The powder is clean-burning, which keeps residue down in your barrel and helps maintain consistency shot to shot. These aren't budget rounds, and they're not designed to be, because when you're hunting you want ammunition that performs, not ammunition that might perform.
