The Federal Fusion .450 Bushmaster 260GR is designed from the ground up for hunters who demand reliable terminal performance on medium-to-large game. At the heart of this load is Federal’s Fusion bonded soft point bullet, where the copper jacket is molecularly fused to the lead core for near-perfect weight retention and consistent expansion at all practical hunting ranges.
This 260-grain load delivers the hard-hitting power of the .450 Bushmaster with a trajectory optimized for short to medium distances, making it a top choice for deer, hogs, and similar-sized game. The bonded design ensures that the bullet holds together even when encountering tough bone or dense muscle, guaranteeing deep penetration and a quick, ethical harvest.
Premium Federal brass cases, non-corrosive Boxer primers, and clean-burning propellants provide dependable ignition, smooth feeding, and consistent ballistics in both bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles. Each round is manufactured under strict quality control to ensure consistent velocities and pinpoint accuracy from shot to shot.
