Product Overview
Federal Fusion ammunition propels a 120 grain bonded soft point at 2,980 feet per second, delivering 2,365 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. The .468 ballistic coefficient stands out among .25-06 factory loads—this bullet slips through air efficiently, retaining velocity and energy at distances where other designs begin to fade. Hunters who stretch their shots will appreciate that ballistic advantage.
The Fusion bullet's construction addresses a common problem with conventional soft points: jacket-core separation during expansion. Federal's electrochemical process molecularly fuses the jacket to the core, creating a bond that holds together through bone and muscle. This results in high weight retention and deep penetration even when the bullet encounters heavy resistance.
Deer hunters facing varied shot presentations benefit most from this load. The bonded construction handles steep quartering angles and shoulder shots that would challenge lesser bullets. Whether hunting whitetails from a treestand or stalking mule deer across broken terrain, Fusion ammunition provides the terminal performance needed for decisive kills without requiring perfect broadside opportunities.
- Molecularly bonded jacket-to-core construction provides excellent weight retention through bone and heavy muscle
- The .468 BC ranks among the highest in factory .25-06 loads for superior downrange performance
- The 120 grain weight offers better penetration than lighter bullets on quartering shots
- Competitively priced for a bonded bullet—less expensive than premium options from Nosler
- The 2,980 fps velocity falls below faster loads like Hornady Superformance (3,110 fps)
- Heavier bullet weight creates more trajectory drop than 100 grain options at extended range
- Bonded construction is overkill for most broadside deer shots where conventional bullets perform fine
