Federal Fusion 6.5×55 Swedish 156-grain Soft Point ammunition (brand part no. F6555FS2) brings a purpose-built deer bullet to a classic, mild-recoiling Scandinavian chambering. Federal Ammunition engineered the Fusion line specifically for deer hunting, molecularly fusing the jacket to the core so the bullet stays together through expansion instead of shedding fragments. A pressure-formed core adds weight retention on top of that bond, so the 156-grain soft point transfers heavy energy to the vitals while still penetrating deep enough for a clean, quick harvest. For hunters who carry a 6.5×55 into the timber for whitetail or similar game, this is a dedicated hunting load in rifle ammunition.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 6.5×55 Swedish, a mild-recoiling classic known for accuracy and easy repeat shots.
• The bullet weighs 156 grains, a heavier-for-caliber choice that carries strong energy at 6.5×55 velocities.
• The bullet is a Fusion soft point, built with a molecularly fused jacket that bonds the core to prevent separation on impact.
• A pressure-formed core behind that bonded jacket adds weight retention, driving deeper penetration on quartering shots.
• The combination of bonding and weight retention delivers maximum energy transfer on target compared to conventional cup-and-core bullets.
• Each round costs about $1.92, in line with premium bonded hunting ammunition.
• The box ships at roughly 1.25 pounds, worth noting when ordering multiple boxes ahead of a hunt.
• Each box holds 20 rounds, enough to sight in and still head into the field with a full box.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is different about Fusion compared to a standard soft point? Fusion molecularly bonds the jacket to the core during manufacturing, so the bullet resists jacket-core separation and retains more weight through expansion than a conventional soft point.

What game is this load built for? Federal designed the Fusion line specifically for deer hunting, and the 156-grain weight in 6.5×55 is well suited to whitetail and similarly sized game.
