The Federal Fusion .243 Winchester 95gr Soft Point (Federal part no. F243FS1) is a 20-round box of rifle ammunition from Federal. Fusion was built around deer hunting, bonding the copper jacket to a pressure-formed core so the bullet expands hard and keeps its weight. Federal lists a muzzle velocity of 2980 fps and 1873 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. Federal lists the use as big game, which points this load at the field rather than the plinking line.
