FUSION 308WIN 150GR 20/200

Description

Federal’s Fusion line was built from the ground up around deer hunting, and this .308 Win load reflects that focus throughout its construction. The jacket is electro-chemically bonded to the lead core rather than mechanically crimped, which creates a molecularly uniform interface between the two. That matters in terminal performance: a bonded jacket resists separation under the violent hydraulic forces of impact, so the bullet stays together and drives deeper instead of shedding weight early in the wound channel.

The nose is skived before leaving the factory—meaning it’s pre-cut with slits that control how the tip peels back on impact. This removes the variability that comes from hoping an unbonded cup-and-core bullet opens consistently at different velocities. Combined with the pressure-formed core, the result is expansion that initiates reliably whether the shot comes at close range with high residual velocity or at distance where the bullet has slowed. Federal specifies a minimum terminal velocity of 1,900 fps, which gives hunters a meaningful yardstick for ethical range limits under real field conditions.

At 150 grains, this projectile sits in a practical middle ground for .308—light enough to retain a flat trajectory at hunting distances, heavy enough to carry energy well into the vitals of whitetail-sized animals. The ballistic coefficient of .414 reflects a boat-tail spitzer profile that sheds velocity more gradually than a flat-base design, extending the window where the bullet remains above that terminal velocity threshold. Each box contains 20 rounds, and the load is also available in a 200-round case configuration for those who want to work up a load and stockpile for a full season.
