Federal Fusion .22 Creedmoor 75 Grain Bonded Soft Point (MPN: F22CRDFS2)
Hunters taking advantage of the high-velocity, laser-flat capabilities of the .22 Creedmoor cartridge on medium game like whitetail deer, pronghorn, and feral hogs face a primary ballistics challenge: preventing lightweight .22-caliber projectiles from fragmenting prematurely on impact. Federal Ammunition engineered their Fusion 75-grain Bonded Soft Point load specifically to overcome this obstacle. Purpose-built to transform ultra-fast .22-caliber centerfire rifles into reliable deer hunting machines, this factory load delivers deep, vital-zone penetration and massive hydrostatic shock without core-jacket separation.
At the foundation of Federal’s Fusion line is an electro-chemically bonded lead core fused directly to a pressure-formed copper jacket. This advanced molecular bonding process guarantees near-100% weight retention upon impact, even when striking thick hide or shoulder bone at hyper-velocity speeds. The heavy-for-caliber 75-grain soft point projectile features a skived tip that initiates controlled expansion into a wide, uniform mushroom, creating devastating energy transfer and massive permanent wound channels downrange.
Out in the field, expect flat medium-to-long-range trajectories and extreme terminal lethality out of modern bolt-action hunting rifles. Launching its 75-grain bonded bullet at a blisteringly fast ~3,400 FPS, this load generates the velocity and BC needed to buck crosswinds effortlessly while maintaining terminal energy far past traditional short-action cartridges. Seated in precision-drawn, factory-new brass cases charged with clean, temperature-stable propellants and non-corrosive primer compounds, this 20-round box offers ultimate field reliability in any environment.
Armorer Bench Notes & Technical Maintenance Guidance
Shipping Restrictions: Ammunition sales are strictly regulated. Check all state and local laws prior to ordering. Cannot ship to PO Boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or internationally. Must ship via ORM-D / Hazardous Ground transport.
Armorer Tip: Heavy 75-grain .22-caliber projectiles require fast barrel twist rates—typically 1:8" or faster—for proper gyroscopic stabilization in flight. Verify your .22 Creedmoor rifle's barrel twist before taking long-range shots. Due to the extremely high muzzle velocities generated by the .22 Creedmoor, regularly clean copper fouling from the throat and bore using a quality copper solvent to maintain peak pinpoint accuracy across hunting seasons.
