FEDERAL 223 REM - 62 GR - SP - 20 RDS/BOX
Federal Fusion MSR in .223 Remington delivers purpose-built hunting performance engineered specifically for modern sporting rifles, combining a bonded 62-grain soft point bullet with optimized propellant charges for consistent, ethical terminal performance on medium-sized game.
- 62-grain Fusion bonded soft point expands reliably for maximum energy transfer
- 2,750 fps muzzle velocity optimized for short MSR barrel lengths
- Fusion-bonded jacket prevents separation for deep, controlled penetration
- Skived, pre-programmed tip initiates consistent expansion at hunting distances
- Brass case and primer components engineered for reliable MSR feeding and extraction
- Packaged 20 rounds per box for range-ready hunting loads
Who This Is For
Federal Fusion MSR .223 Rem 62-grain is ideal for hunters who run AR-platform rifles for varmint control, predator hunting, or deer-legal states where .223 is permitted on whitetail. It's equally well-suited for those who want a hard-hitting, expanding load that cycles flawlessly through semi-automatic actions without sacrificing terminal effectiveness on medium-sized game at field distances.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Federal Fusion MSR .223 suitable for deer hunting?
Yes — where legal — the Fusion MSR 62-grain soft point is designed to deliver controlled expansion and deep penetration appropriate for deer-sized game. The bonded construction prevents jacket-core separation, ensuring the bullet retains enough weight to reach vital organs. Always verify your local regulations regarding minimum caliber requirements for deer hunting before use.
Will this ammunition feed reliably in my AR-15 or other semi-automatic rifle?
Absolutely. Federal specifically engineered the Fusion MSR line for reliable cycling in modern sporting rifles. The cartridge dimensions, propellant burn rate, and bullet profile are all optimized to feed, fire, extract, and eject consistently through direct-impingement and piston-driven AR-platform actions with standard .223 Rem or 5.56 NATO chambers.
How does the 62-grain Fusion bullet differ from standard FMJ .223 ammo?
Unlike full metal jacket ammunition, the 62-grain Fusion soft point is designed to expand upon impact, transferring more energy to the target and creating a larger wound channel — critical for ethical, effective hunting. The electrochemical bonding process between the jacket and lead core ensures the bullet holds together under high-velocity impact rather than fragmenting unpredictably, giving you consistent terminal performance shot after shot.
