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.

Product Overview
Federal Fusion 130-grain is a bonded soft point .270 Winchester hunting load made for deer. Federal fuses the jacket to the lead core so the two hold together. It leaves the muzzle at 3,050 fps with 2,685 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .400.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 19.6 inches at 400 yards and 6.7 inches at 300. From a 100-yard zero the drop at 400 is 25.4 inches.
If you're cross-shopping, Federal's own Power-Shok 130-grain is the plain soft point at this weight and on a G1 BC of .372 it drops 20.0 inches at 400 yards from a 200-yard zero. Winchester's Deer Season XP 130-grain has a polymer tip on a G1 BC of .450 and drops 18.6 inches at 400 off that zero.
- The only bonded bullet among the .270 Winchester 130-grain loads compared
- Carries 1,621 ft-lbs at 300 yards
- A higher G1 BC than both bare-lead soft points compared, Federal's Power-Shok 130-grain and Winchester's Super-X 130-grain Power-Point, which both sit at .372
- A lower G1 BC than the three polymer-tipped 130-grain loads compared, which run from .433 to .450
- Only half an inch separates it from Federal's own Power-Shok 130-grain at 400 yards from a 100-yard zero
- Bonded or not, the core is lead, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required
