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 Fusion 180-grain is a bonded soft point .300 Win Mag hunting load made for deer. The Fusion bullet has its jacket bonded to the lead core. It leaves the muzzle at 2,960 fps with 3,502 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .485.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 6.8 inches at 300 and 19.5 inches at 400, arriving with 1,990 ft-lbs. From a 100-yard zero the 400-yard figure is 25.7 inches.
If you're cross-shopping, Browning's BXS 180-grain Terminal Tip carries the same G1 BC on a solid copper bullet, starts 40 fps faster and drops 19.0 inches at 400 yards from a 200-yard zero. Ammo Inc's 180-grain Super Shock Tip is the fastest 180 in the caliber, at 3,075 fps.
- Still carrying 2,307 ft-lbs at 300 yards, more than Winchester's Deer Season XP Copper Impact 150-grain
- Ahead of that Copper Impact load on energy from 100 yards out despite starting 300 fps slower
- A bonded core at the heavy end of the caliber
- A lead core all the same, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required. Browning's BXS Terminal Tip is a copper bullet at the same weight
- About 29 percent more estimated recoil than Winchester's Deer Season XP Copper Impact 150-grain
