Why Buy Federal .223 Remington 62gr MSR Fusion Bonded Soft Point Ammo
Federal's .223 Remington 62gr MSR Fusion Bonded Soft Point Ammo is engineered for medium-range hunting and precision shooting. The bonded soft point design ensures controlled expansion and deep penetration, making it effective for taking down medium-sized game like deer or coyotes. With a muzzle velocity of 2750 fps and muzzle energy of 1041 ft-lbs, this load delivers sufficient power for ethical harvests within 200 yards.
The 62-grain projectile strikes a balance between weight retention and velocity, offering improved terminal performance over lighter bullets while maintaining a relatively flat trajectory. Its ballistic coefficient of 0.31 helps resist wind drift, enhancing accuracy in variable conditions. This ammunition is particularly suited for AR-15 style rifles with 1:8 or 1:7 twist rates, which can stabilize heavier bullets effectively.
Pros
- Bonded soft point design for controlled expansion and deep penetration
- Adequate velocity and energy for medium-sized game within 200 yards
- Suitable for AR-15 platforms with appropriate twist rates
Cons
- Not ideal for long-range precision shooting beyond 300 yards
- May be overpowered for small varmints or target practice
Similar Products Compared
Compared to Hornady Black .223 Remington 62gr FMJ Ammo, Federal's offering trades some velocity for improved terminal performance. The Hornady load boasts a higher muzzle velocity of 3100 fps and increased muzzle energy of 1323 ft-lbs, making it potentially better suited for longer-range target shooting. However, the Federal Fusion's bonded soft point design gives it a significant edge in hunting applications, where controlled expansion and energy transfer are crucial.
The Federal load's higher ballistic coefficient of 0.31, compared to Hornady's 0.274, suggests better wind resistance and energy retention downrange. This can translate to improved accuracy and effectiveness at medium distances, particularly in gusty conditions. While the Hornady Black may have an advantage in pure speed, the Federal MSR Fusion offers a more versatile option for those who prioritize terminal performance and medium-range accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the effective range of this ammunition for hunting medium-sized game?
The effective range for hunting medium-sized game with this ammunition is typically up to 200 yards. Beyond this distance, the bullet's energy and expansion characteristics may not guarantee consistent, ethical harvests. Always consider factors such as target size, shot placement, and local regulations when determining effective hunting ranges.
How does the bonded soft point design affect terminal performance?
The bonded soft point design ensures that the bullet's core and jacket remain intact during expansion, leading to deeper penetration and improved weight retention. This results in more consistent terminal performance across various target densities and impact velocities, making it particularly effective for medium-sized game hunting.
Is this ammunition compatible with all .223 Remington chambers?
While this ammunition is designed for use in .223 Remington chambers, it's important to note that it may not be suitable for all firearms chambered in .223 Remington. Some older or custom-built rifles may have tighter chambers that could lead to higher pressures. Always consult your firearm's manual and, if in doubt, have a qualified gunsmith check compatibility.
