Federal's MSR Fusion load brings something different to the .223 Remington landscape. This 62-grain bonded soft point might not win any speed contests at 2750 fps, but that's not what it's built for. Think of it as the difference between a sprinter and a heavyweight boxer – this round trades raw velocity for devastating punch-through capability. The bonded core construction means the bullet stays together when lesser projectiles would fall apart, delivering consistent penetration where it counts.

Looking to drop a deer at reasonable ranges or need reliable terminal performance for defense? The Fusion bonding process creates a bullet that expands reliably while maintaining its weight, driving deep into vital zones. That 1041 ft-lbs of energy might seem modest on paper, but the controlled expansion and penetration make every foot-pound count. It's particularly effective on quarry that requires deep penetration through heavy muscle and bone.

This isn't just another deer round – it's a true multi-purpose performer that shines in modern sporting rifles. The 62-grain weight stabilizes well in common 1:7 and 1:8 twist barrels, while the bonded construction handles barrier penetration without breaking a sweat. Whether you're dealing with coyotes in the back forty or need a single load that can handle both four-legged and two-legged threats, this ammunition delivers consistent results without the premium price tag of some competing bonded rounds.
