- 158-grain hollow point expands reliably for devastating terminal performance on deer
- Optimized 1,240 fps muzzle velocity balances lethality with manageable felt recoil
- Engineered specifically for short-barrel handguns used in the field

Who This Is For
This ammunition is the go-to choice for handgun hunters pursuing whitetail deer, hogs, or similarly sized game who need a load that performs reliably out of a revolver barrel without the punishing recoil of heavier magnum hunting rounds. It's equally well-suited for experienced shooters who want a premium hollow point for woods carry and personal protection in bear country or remote terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ammunition suitable for hunting deer with a revolver?
Yes — Federal Fusion Handgun ammunition is purpose-designed for exactly this application. The molecularly fused hollow point bullet is engineered to expand reliably at .357 Magnum velocities, delivering deep penetration and wide wound channels on deer-sized game. The 158-grain bullet weight hits the ideal balance between terminal energy and manageable recoil, making it practical for all-day field carry and quick follow-up shots.
What revolvers and pistols are compatible with this .357 Magnum load?
This ammunition is compatible with any firearm chambered in .357 Magnum, including popular revolvers from Smith & Wesson, Ruger, and Taurus, as well as lever-action rifles chambered in .357 Magnum. Because .357 Magnum chambers are also dimensionally safe for .38 Special loads, the reverse is not true — always confirm your firearm is rated for .357 Magnum before using these rounds.
How does Federal Fusion differ from standard hollow point ammunition?
Standard jacketed hollow points are manufactured by pressing or bonding a lead core inside a copper cup. Federal Fusion uses a proprietary molecular fusion process that electrochemically bonds the jacket to the core at a molecular level, virtually eliminating jacket-core separation on impact. The result is deeper, more uniform penetration and higher retained weight — critical advantages when hunting game where one-shot performance matters most.
