Federal Fusion F3006tfs3 3006 180 Tip Fus 20/10

Federal Fusion Tipped .30-06 Springfield ammunition delivers the terminal performance that earned the original Fusion its reputation in the deer woods, now with a ballistic edge for hunters pushing effective range. The 180-grain Tipped Fusion pairs a molecularly bonded copper jacket and pressure-formed lead core—the foundation of legendary weight retention and penetration—with a polymer tip that flattens trajectory and reduces wind drift. If you're hunting medium game at distance or want a .30-06 round that shoots flatter and carries more energy downrange, this load bridges the gap between proven terminal reliability and extended-range accuracy.

The polymer tip initiates consistent expansion through a skived nose cavity while the electro-chemically bonded jacket ensures uniform performance shot to shot. At 2725 fps, the 180-grain bullet carries a ballistic coefficient of .501—a meaningful advantage in wind and over distance compared to traditional flat-point designs. The result is a hunting round that doesn't ask you to choose between close-range lethality and longer shots; it performs both. This is .30-06 ammunition for hunters who want depth of penetration without sacrificing trajectory or energy retention.

Federal packages Fusion Tipped in convenient 20-round boxes, making it easy to stock up for the season or test the load in your rifle before heading afield. Whether you're working familiar ground or glassing new country, Fusion Tipped .30-06 rounds give you a cartridge with the terminal track record hunters trust and the modern ballistics that extend your effective range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Federal Fusion Tipped ammo designed for?

Federal Fusion Tipped ammunition is engineered for medium game hunting where you need reliable expansion, deep penetration, and flatter shooting performance. The 180-grain .30-06 load is suited for deer and similar-sized game at varied ranges, offering the terminal performance of the original Fusion bullet with improved ballistics from the polymer tip.

How does the polymer tip improve performance?

The polymer tip increases the ballistic coefficient of the bullet, which means it resists wind deflection and energy loss as it travels downrange. This results in a flatter trajectory and more energy delivered at extended distances compared to traditional .30-06 hunting rounds, improving accuracy and effective range.

What's the weight retention and expansion like on Fusion Tipped bullets?

The molecularly bonded copper jacket and pressure-formed lead core are designed for maximum weight retention during expansion. The skived nose cavity paired with the polymer tip ensures consistent, lethal expansion while the strong jacket-to-core bond keeps the bullet from fragmenting, allowing deep penetration into the vitals.

What comes in the box?

Each box contains 20 rounds of Federal Fusion Tipped .30-06 Springfield ammunition loaded with 180-grain bullets at 2725 fps.
