Federal Fusion .460 S&W Mag 260gr
The Federal Fusion .460 S&W Magnum 260-grain load is engineered for hunters using large-frame revolvers like the Smith & Wesson X-Frame and the Magnum Research BFR. Its bonded bullet delivers controlled expansion and deep penetration on deer, hogs, and black bear at handgun hunting ranges. Fusion is Federal’s dedicated handgun-hunting line where heavy bone and muscle are expected.
Bonded Bullet for Handgun Hunting
The molecularly fused jacket-and-core prevents separation on impact, so the bullet stays intact and drives deep even through tough shoulder bone. Expansion is controlled, not violent — exactly what you want when penetration matters most.
Optimized for Revolver Velocities
The Fusion bullet construction is tuned to expand reliably at .460 S&W Magnum velocities from 7–8″ revolver barrels — it does not rely on rifle-speed velocities to open up.
