How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 8" vital zone, ±4" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 500 yards.

Product Overview
Federal's Fusion 120-grain is a bonded soft point .25-06 load made for deer. Federal bonds the jacket to the lead core so the two stay together, and at 120 grains it shares the heaviest bullet weight in the caliber. It leaves the muzzle at 2,980 fps with 2,365 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .468.
From a 100-yard zero it drops 11.3 inches at 300 and 25.5 inches at 400, where 1,318 ft-lbs remain.
If you're cross-shopping, Remington's Core-Lokt 120-grain PSP is the same bullet weight on a far lower G1 BC of .362, and from a 100-yard zero it drops 27.7 inches at 400. Winchester's Deer Season XP 117-grain Extreme Point starts 120 fps faster and from that zero drops 23.4 inches at 400.
- Carries 1,536 ft-lbs at 300 yards, 183 more than Remington's Core-Lokt 120-grain PSP
- The highest G1 BC of the loads compared
- Keeps 2,224 fps at 400 yards
