Federal Fusion .308 Winchester 180-grain Bonded Polymer Tip ammunition (part no. F308TFS3) loads the heaviest common .308 hunting weight with an electrochemically bonded core built to stay together on the way through big game. Federal Ammunition fuses the jacket to the core of this 180-grain bullet, then tops it with a polymer tip that initiates expansion instantly on impact. Fusion bullets are grown, not just assembled, giving them a jacket-to-core bond that a traditional cup-and-core hunting bullet cannot match. In rifle ammunition for elk, larger deer, and similarly tough game, this is a heavyweight .308 load built to hold together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose 180 grains for .308 hunting? The heavier bullet carries more momentum and penetrates deeper, a common choice for elk and larger or tougher deer-sized game.

What does bonding accomplish that a standard hunting bullet does not? Bonding fuses the jacket to the core across the entire bullet, so it holds together and retains more weight after impact instead of shedding fragments the way a traditional cup-and-core bullet can.
