Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Federal took what worked in their original Fusion design and refined it for modern hunting demands. The Fusion Tipped line keeps the core strength of Fusion rounds, that molecularly bonded copper jacket and pressure-formed lead core that made them famous, then adds a polymer ballistic tip to push performance further downrange.
What the Polymer Tip Does for You
That polymer tip isn't just for looks. It increases the ballistic coefficient significantly, which means the bullet cuts through the air more efficiently. You get flatter trajectories out of your rifle, less wind deflection as distances stretch, and more retained energy when the round reaches its target. This matters whether you're glassing from a ridgeline or setting up in a blind, because shots beyond 300 yards suddenly feel more manageable.
The design pairs a skived nose cavity with that polymer tip, so when impact happens, the tip drives back into the lead core and triggers consistent expansion. The electrochemically bonded copper jacket keeps the bullet together through bone and heavy cover, maximizing penetration without fragmenting like softer designs. You get weight retention that matters for deep, reliable kills. Field testing shows excellent accuracy across the board, with Fusion Tipped ammunition grouping well in quality rifles and demonstrating sub-MOA potential in the right hands.
This 140-grain round launches at 2975 feet per second from a 24-inch barrel, with a ballistic coefficient of 0.529. That combination makes the 6.5 PRC a genuine long-range platform for hunters who understand their rifle's capabilities. The round stays above Federal's 1400 fps minimum expansion velocity well beyond typical hunting distances, so you don't need to worry about bullets failing to open at extended ranges where velocity drops. It's built for controlled expansion and deep penetration, the fundamentals that matter in the field.
The polymer tip increases ballistic coefficient, which flattens trajectories and reduces wind drift at distance. It also works with the skived nose cavity to trigger consistent expansion at lower velocities, making Fusion Tipped effective on game at extended ranges where the original Fusion bullets may struggle. The tip maintains the bonded core integrity that Fusion is known for, so you still get excellent weight retention and penetration.
The 140-grain Fusion Tipped is built for medium to large game hunting, with the 6.5 PRC cartridge proving especially effective on deer out to extended ranges. With proper shot placement, it's also capable for elk-sized game, though trajectory and energy retention favor deer-distance work. The cartridge produces 1500 foot-pounds of energy for elk-sized game out to roughly 500 yards, which shapes realistic hunting applications.
Field testing shows Fusion Tipped ammunition delivers excellent accuracy across quality rifles, with potential for sub-MOA performance in the right platform and with good technique. The consistent manufacturing and aerodynamic design of the polymer-tipped bullet support tight grouping. Real-world results vary based on rifle quality and shooter skill, but Fusion Tipped consistently performs well in factory rifles and custom builds alike.
Federal designed the Fusion Tipped line with a minimum expansion velocity target of 1400 feet per second. This allows reliable expansion even at extended ranges where bullet velocity drops, making the round effective for long-range hunting. The design is engineered to expand consistently from impact to well below this threshold without failing to open or over-fragmenting.
