Product Overview
Federal 150-grain Fusion is a bonded soft point .30-06 Springfield hunting load made for big game. Federal fuses the Fusion jacket to its lead core so the two hold together. It leaves the muzzle at 2,900 fps with 2,801 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .410.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 21.7 inches at 400 yards, arriving with 1,415 ft-lbs.
If you're cross-shopping, Winchester's Ballistic Silvertip 150-grain starts at the same 2,900 fps on a higher G1 BC of .435 and drops 21.2 inches at 400 yards from a 200-yard zero. Federal's own PowerShok 150-grain Copper HP has no lead core and a G1 BC of .278 and off that zero it drops 26.1 inches at 400.
- Carries 1,695 ft-lbs at 300 yards
- A bonded core, where Norma's Dedicated Hunting Whitetail 150-grain PSP and Winchester's Super-X 165-grain Power-Point are plain soft points
- 4.4 inches less drop at 400 yards than Federal's own PowerShok 150-grain Copper HP from a 200-yard zero
- A lower G1 BC than Winchester's Ballistic Silvertip 150-grain at .435
- A bonded lead core, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required. Federal's own PowerShok 150-grain Copper HP is the copper bullet at this weight
- Carries 52 ft-lbs less at 300 yards than Winchester's Ballistic Silvertip 150-grain
