Federal Fusion Tipped 300 Win Mag ammo pairs a 180 grain bonded polymer-tip bullet with the 300 Winchester Magnum cartridge — a combination engineered for elk, moose, and large-bodied mule deer at extended range. The 300 Winchester Magnum is a belted magnum cartridge chambered in bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles, delivering flat trajectories and high retained energy beyond 400 yards. This load exits the muzzle at 2950 feet per second with 3478 foot-pounds of energy, and the polymer tip raises the ballistic coefficient to 0.501 — reducing wind drift and preserving velocity downrange compared to flat-nose or soft-point bullets of equivalent weight.
Load Profile
Federal Fusion builds the Tipped bullet by electro-chemically bonding the copper jacket to the lead core under pressure — the molecular bond prevents jacket separation on impact, even when the bullet strikes bone or heavy muscle. The polymer tip initiates expansion at velocities above 1800 fps, and the skived nose cavity ensures the jacket peels back in controlled petals. Federal sources brass domestically, and all cases carry boxer primers for reloading. This is non-corrosive, new-production ammunition manufactured in the United States.

The 180 grain weight sits in the middle of the common 300 Win Mag hunting range — lighter than 200 or 220 grain solids used for dangerous game, heavier than 150 grain varmint loads. This weight balances sectional density (0.271) with retained velocity, and the BC of 0.501 keeps the bullet supersonic past 1000 yards at sea level. Shooters sighting in at 200 yards will see roughly 8 inches of drop at 300 yards and 24 inches at 400 yards, depending on altitude and temperature. More 300 Win Mag ammo options are available for comparison.
Safe Handling & Compliance
Federal law requires purchasers to be at least 18 years old for rifle and shotgun ammunition, and at least 21 for handgun ammunition. Ammunition cannot be shipped to certain states, counties, and cities — review our ammunition shipping restrictions before ordering. Store ammunition in a cool, dry location away from heat sources and out of reach of unauthorized users.
- Observe the four rules of firearm safety on every range trip.
- Verify current state and local ammunition laws before ordering — some jurisdictions restrict lead-core projectiles or impose magazine-capacity limits that affect ammunition purchase.
- This ammunition contains lead; prolonged exposure to lead dust or fumes during shooting or reloading may cause reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. California Prop 65 warning applies.
