Federal Fusion Tipped

Federal Ammunition is launching Fusion Tipped, a new product line that is initially offered in eight different cartridge choices. The bullets in these new cartridges offer the same terminal performance as the bonded soft point in the original Fusion line, but with a polymer tip that increases ballistic coefficient, flattens trajectories and boosts energy for better accuracy and extended effective range.

“Following its initial release, Fusion ammunition quickly gained a reputation for its exceptional performance and reliability. Over the past 19 years, we have expanded Fusion into a large list of calibers and bullet weights, now totaling more than 50 product offerings across three different product families,” said Eric Miller, Federal’s Centerfire Product Line Manager. “This has allowed hunters and shooters to experience the benefits of bonded-core technology across a broad spectrum of firearms and game species.”

Federal Fusion Tipped is currently offered in the following chamberings:

  • 140 grain 6.5 PRC
  • 140 grain 6.5 Creedmoor
  • 150 grain .270 Win.
  • 175 grain 7mm Rem. Mag .
  • 175 grain 7mm PRC
  • 180 grain .308 Win.
  • 180 grain .30-06 Sprg.
  • 180 grain .300 Win. Mag.

The price per 20 round box of Federal Fusion Tipped varies from $52.99 to $72.99, and more information on this new ammunition line and other products from Federal Premium is available at federalpremium.com.
