Information about the Recent Federal Bullets Needed

I'm seeing Federal Fusion bullets for sale here in Canada and am wondering how they compare to the other more-recent Federal bullets like the Trophy Bonded Tip and Edge bullets. The description indicates that the Fusion bullet is a bonded core projectile, and so I'm wondering whether it differs much from the Trophy Bonded Tip.

Can someone explain the differences between the Federal Trophy Bonded Tip (which I believe is a plastic-tipped version of the original Trophy Bonded Bear Claw), Edge, and Fusion bullets.

The edge tlr and the trophy bonded tip are both lead core, copper jacketed,bonded bullets. The rear 1/3 on both is solid copper. The trophy tip is a tougher bullet while the edge is designed to open at long range and low velocities. Both will stay together and offer exceptional penetration.
The fusion is only bonded in the barest sense of the term. A lead core is sprayed or plated with a copper alloy to form the jacket. That does not mean its a bad bullet, just that it wont hold up like the other two.
