The Federal F460FS1 Fusion delivers maximum terminal performance for 460 S&W Magnum handgun applications. This premium hunting ammunition combines molecular fusion technology with a 260-grain soft point bullet designed for deep penetration and controlled expansion on large game.
What Makes This Different
Federal's Fusion process molecularly bonds the copper jacket to the lead core, eliminating jacket separation that plagues conventional bullets. The electrochemically bonded construction maintains bullet integrity through bone and tissue while creating a larger wound channel than standard soft points. This bonding technology delivers 95% weight retention compared to 60-70% retention rates of traditional hunting bullets.
Key Features
- 260-grain Fusion soft point bullet with molecular bonding technology
- 460 S&W Magnum chambering for maximum power and range
- Electrochemically bonded copper jacket prevents separation
- Optimized powder charge for consistent velocities and accuracy
- Skived tip design promotes reliable expansion at all velocities
- Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness
- Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications for reliability
The 460 S&W Magnum cartridge generates approximately 2,300 feet per second muzzle velocity with the 260-grain Fusion bullet, delivering over 3,000 foot-pounds of energy. This performance level makes it effective on elk, moose, and dangerous game at extended handgun ranges. The Fusion bullet maintains expansion characteristics from 50 to 200 yards, providing consistent terminal performance across hunting distances.
