The Federal Fusion .300 WSM 165-grain Soft Point load (Federal part no. F300WSMFS1) puts Federal’s bonded deer-hunting bullet into the .300 Winchester Short Magnum case. At the muzzle the 165-grain bullet is rated at 3100 fps and 3521 foot-pounds, according to Federal’s published ballistics. The bullet is a Fusion Soft Point, with a molecularly bonded jacket over a pressure-formed core meant to retain weight through deep penetration. It is aimed at hunters who stretch shots in open country and want real energy left at distance from a short-action magnum. Federal packs this load 20 rounds to the box, enough to confirm zero and hunt.
