Description
Federal Fusion Tipped ammunition takes a proven hunting cartridge and gives it modern ballistics. The 180-grain polymer-tipped round combines bonded-core technology with a streamlined design that cuts wind drift and extends your effective range.
What Makes Federal Fusion Tipped Work
The magic happens where the copper jacket meets the lead core. Instead of traditional assembly, Federal electrochemically bonds these two components at a molecular level. This means the bullet stays together under impact in a way that loose cup-and-core designs simply can't match. That structural integrity translates directly to deeper penetration and consistent expansion when you need it most.
Polymer Tip for Modern Hunting
You get the bonding you expect from Fusion, but with a precision-engineered polymer tip that improves ballistic coefficient to .501. That translates to less wind drift, reduced bullet drop, and more energy downrange compared to the original soft-point design. The tip pairs with a skived nose cavity to initiate reliable expansion on medium-sized game from whitetails to feral hogs.
Field-Ready Construction
Loaded to 2600 fps in reloadable brass cases, this ammunition delivers the consistency you need for accurate shooting. Field testing shows sub-MOA performance in properly tuned rifles, making it equally at home at the range as it is in the hunting woods. The bonded design retains approximately 85 percent of original weight on impact, giving you the penetration necessary for ethical kills on animals up to 300 pounds.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between regular Fusion and Fusion Tipped?
Fusion Tipped adds a precision-engineered polymer tip that improves ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories and extended range. The bonded-core construction remains the same, but the tipped design gives you better aerodynamics for accuracy at distance. Both deliver the weight retention and consistent expansion Fusion is known for.
Is Federal Fusion Tipped suitable for hunting medium game?
Yes, it's specifically designed for medium-sized game between 50 to 300 pounds, including whitetail deer and feral hogs. The bonded construction retains about 85 percent of its weight on impact, which provides the penetration needed for ethical kills. The controlled expansion also works reliably across varied shot angles and distances.
Can I reload Federal Fusion brass?
Yes, the cases are brass and fully reloadable. However, keep in mind the bonded-core bullet design generates standard pressures similar to other rifle ammunition, so follow Federal's published reloading data for accurate load development.
How does ballistic coefficient affect my hunting?
Higher ballistic coefficient means less wind drift and bullet drop over distance. With a BC of .501, this Fusion load maintains energy better at extended range, which matters if you hunt open country or need to take longer shots. It also helps with accuracy in windy conditions compared to designs with lower coefficients.
