Federal Fusion Rifle Ammunition .35 Whelen 200 gr BTSP 2800 fps - 20/ct

Federal Fusion rifle ammunition in .35 Whelen delivers the performance hunters expect from a time-tested cartridge designed for medium to large game. This load combines a 200-grain bonded soft-point bullet with a velocity of 2800 fps, giving you the energy and reliability needed for hunting situations where accuracy and penetration matter. Whether you're working with a classic lever gun or a modern bolt-action rifle chambered in .35 Whelen, Federal Fusion ammunition provides consistent, dependable ballistics from shot to shot.

The bonded soft-point design is where Fusion rounds prove their worth in the field. The bullet's core and jacket are fused together to resist separation on impact, maintaining structural integrity through muscle and bone. This controlled expansion helps ensure deeper penetration and more reliable energy transfer compared to cheaper plated ammunition—a real advantage when you're counting on a single, well-placed shot.

You get 20 rounds per box, loaded fresh and quality-checked by Federal. If you reload, the brass is reloadable and primed, so you can stretch your .35 Whelen supply further. This isn't exotic or overly specialized ammunition; it's straightforward hunting fodder built to work in your rifle, whether it's seeing field duty or range time between seasons.
