The Federal Fusion .243 Winchester 95gr Bonded SP (Federal part no. F243FS1) is a .243 Winchester load built around a 95-grain Bonded SP for big-game hunting. Federal engineers this load to put game down cleanly with dependable expansion and penetration. Fusion bonds the lead core to the jacket through an electrochemical process, molecularly fusing the two so the bullet holds together and expands consistently even after passing through heavy bone. In rifle ammunition, this is the load to zero with and trust on the shot that only comes once a season.
