Description

Federal Fusion MSR .223 Remington 62gr (brand part no. F223MSR1) is a bonded soft point hunting load tuned specifically for modern sporting rifles. Federal Ammunition electrochemically bonds the jacket to the core, a molecular bond that keeps the bullet together through bone for reliable expansion out of an AR-platform rifle. Clean-burning, fast-burning propellants boost velocity through typical MSR barrel lengths to 2,750 fps, and the primers are built for rifles with free-floating firing pins. Among rifle ammunition, this is the Federal load built for AR-platform deer hunting.
