Product Overview
Federal Fusion bonds the jacket to the core at the molecular level. This 300gr soft point exits at 1850 fps with 2280 ft-lbs of energy. The bonded construction keeps the bullet together on impact, providing deep penetration through bone while still expanding in soft tissue. Deer, elk, and black bear all fall within its effective range.
The .29 ballistic coefficient is high for a .45-70 bullet, helping it retain velocity downrange. The Fusion line was designed specifically for hunting, with skived tips that initiate expansion reliably. This load offers consistent terminal performance across the velocity range you will encounter from woods shots out to 150 yards.
