The Federal FB308F4 Fusion component bullets deliver exceptional terminal performance for hunters and precision shooters demanding consistent expansion and weight retention. These .308 caliber projectiles feature Federal's molecularly bonded core technology that eliminates jacket separation while maintaining accuracy downrange.
What Makes This Different
Fusion bullets utilize an electrochemical bonding process that molecularly fuses the copper jacket to the lead core, creating a homogeneous projectile. This bonding prevents core-jacket separation that plagues conventional soft point bullets, resulting in 95% weight retention even through heavy bone and tissue. The skived nose design initiates controlled expansion at velocities as low as 1,600 fps while the boat tail profile maintains ballistic efficiency at extended ranges.
Key Features
- Molecularly bonded copper jacket and lead core for maximum weight retention
- 180 grain weight optimized for .308 Winchester and .30-06 Springfield cartridges
- Boat tail design reduces drag and improves long-range ballistic coefficient
- Skived nose construction ensures reliable expansion at hunting velocities
- Bulk packaging of 200 bullets (4 boxes of 50) for volume reloaders
- Diameter: .308 inches with tight manufacturing tolerances
- Pressure-tested design suitable for maximum SAAMI pressure loads
These component bullets excel in medium to large game hunting applications where deep penetration and controlled expansion are critical. The 180-grain weight provides excellent sectional density for penetrating heavy bone structure on elk, moose, and bear. Competitive shooters appreciate the consistent ballistic performance that translates to predictable trajectory and wind drift calculations. The boat tail configuration maintains supersonic flight longer than flat base alternatives, extending effective range capabilities.
