Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Federal Fusion different from standard soft point ammunition?
Unlike conventional soft point bullets where the jacket and core are mechanically assembled, Federal Fusion uses an electrochemical bonding process that molecularly fuses the jacket to the pressure-formed lead core. This virtually eliminates jacket-core separation on impact, resulting in dramatically higher weight retention, larger expansion diameters, and more consistent terminal performance — especially important when shots aren't perfectly placed or animals are quartering away.
Is a 140-grain load in 7mm-08 appropriate for larger deer species or elk?
The 140-grain Fusion in 7mm-08 is ideally sized for whitetail deer, mule deer, pronghorn, and black bear at typical hunting distances. For larger animals like elk or moose, most hunters prefer a heavier caliber or a larger-bore cartridge to ensure adequate penetration. That said, the Fusion's bonded construction does push terminal performance beyond what unbonded loads of similar weight can deliver, making it a capable choice on deer-sized game out to 300 yards and beyond.
How should I store Federal Fusion ammunition to maintain its performance?
Store your Federal Fusion ammunition in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations. Keep rounds in their original box or an airtight ammunition container to protect the brass cases and primers from moisture. Properly stored centerfire rifle ammunition can maintain reliable performance for decades. Avoid storing ammo in vehicle gloveboxes or trunks for extended periods, as temperature swings can accelerate primer and propellant degradation over time.
