FUSION 270WSM 150GR 20/200

Description

Federal’s Fusion line was built from the ground up for deer hunting, and the .270 WSM loading reflects that singular focus. Where general-purpose rifle ammunition tries to serve multiple roles, every design decision in Fusion is aimed at predictable, controlled terminal performance on big game at field distances.

The bullet’s copper jacket is electro-chemically bonded to the lead core rather than mechanically assembled. That molecular bond prevents the jacket and core from separating on impact, which is the primary cause of weight loss and reduced penetration in conventional cup-and-core designs. The result is deep, straight wound channels rather than shallow fragmentation.

The nose is skived before leaving the factory — shallow cuts are made into the tip that predetermine where the bullet will begin to peel back on impact. That pre-programmed expansion means the bullet opens consistently across a range of impact velocities, which matters when shots land at different ranges and the bullet arrives with meaningfully different energy. A 150-grain projectile at .270 WSM velocities carries significant momentum at distance, and controlled expansion keeps that energy working in the right direction rather than dumping it all in the first inch of tissue.

The ballistic coefficient of .499 gives this load a relatively flat trajectory and reduced wind sensitivity compared to what the caliber’s bore diameter might suggest, making it a practical choice for open-country hunting where shots can stretch beyond 300 yards. With a muzzle velocity of 3,060 fps, the load remains effective well past that distance without requiring holdover corrections that become difficult to repeat under field conditions. Each box contains 20 rounds.
