Federal FB284F3 Fusion 7mm .284 160gr Soft Point Bullets 100ct

The Federal FB284F3 Fusion component bullets deliver exceptional terminal performance for 7mm (.284) caliber reloading applications. These 160-grain soft point bullets feature Federal's proprietary Fusion bonding process that eliminates the separation between jacket and core common in traditional cup-and-core designs.

What Makes This Different

Fusion technology bonds the jacket to the lead core at the molecular level through an electrochemical process, creating a bullet that acts as a single unit upon impact. This bonded construction maintains 95% weight retention while delivering controlled expansion across a wide velocity range. Unlike conventional soft points that can fragment or separate, Fusion bullets provide consistent penetration depths of 18-24 inches in ballistic gelatin.

Key Features

• Molecularly bonded jacket and core prevents separation on impact
• 160-grain weight optimized for 7mm hunting cartridges
• Soft point design initiates reliable expansion at velocities from 1,800-3,200 fps
• Skived nose promotes controlled mushrooming while maintaining weight
• Boat tail base design improves ballistic coefficient and accuracy
• Consistent jacket thickness ensures uniform performance
• Compatible with standard 7mm/.284 reloading dies and equipment

These component bullets excel in medium to large game hunting scenarios where deep penetration and reliable expansion are critical. The bonded construction maintains trajectory stability through heavy bone and tissue, making them effective on elk, deer, and similar-sized game. Reloaders report consistent accuracy with powder charges ranging from moderate hunting loads to maximum safe pressures.
