FUSION 300WIN 165GR 20/200

Description

Federal’s Fusion line was purpose-built for deer hunting from the ground up, and this .300 Winchester Magnum load reflects that focus at every stage of construction. The jacket is electro-chemically bonded to the lead core rather than mechanically crimped, which eliminates the jacket-core separation that causes conventional soft points to shed weight during penetration. The result is a bullet that expands reliably while holding together through shoulder bone, heavy muscle, and the angled presentations that real hunting shots produce.

The nose is skived before the bullet is seated, meaning the tip is pre-scored to open the expansion sequence at a defined velocity threshold rather than leaving it to chance. Combined with a pressure-formed core, this gives the bullet a consistent terminal shape from shot to shot rather than the variable mushrooms you get when expansion depends entirely on impact conditions. The 165-grain weight sits in a practical middle ground for the cartridge: enough sectional density to retain energy into longer ranges, without the additional recoil and barrel wear that come with the heaviest .300 Win Mag projectiles.

Muzzle velocity is 3,080 feet per second, and the ballistic coefficient of .449 keeps that velocity working at distance, limiting wind deflection and maintaining enough energy for clean kills well past the ranges most deer are taken. The brass-cased, boxer-primed construction means handloaders can sort and reload the cases if they choose. Each box contains 20 rounds.
