Federal Fusion Bullets/terminal performance

[Salavee]

Just wondering about any personal experience with these particular bullets.

Accuracy appears to be good but I have never used them on Game.

Would appreciate any info on terminal performance on Game . More than one example would be good from any hunting cartridge.

Thanks

I never got to use them myself, though I did buy (and still have) a few boxes, because I wanted to move away from lead. However, the feedback I heard from people that use them was excellent and that included .308, .30-06, and a couple of other calibers that I do not recall at the moment.

Edit: I should have added that I did shoot them out of my rifle and they grouped pretty well.

Myself as well as several friends have shot these.

While these weren't the "Most Accurate" out of my 30-06, one thing they did do very well was kill deer. They were very lethal. I would still be shooting them if they were more accurate out of my Xbolt.

I shoot these out of my 30-06 and they group very well in the Browning ABolt. I have also harvest one bear with a .300wsm in 165g federal premium and it dropped in its tracks. I haven’t recovered any of the bullets out of deer shooting the 150g 30-06 all within 50-75 yards

I got a nice Muley Buck with the 150gr fusions in my .308. Dropped it right were it stood. My rifle liked the cartridges, for accuracy. Took the lungs out major.

Never recovered a Fusion from either my 308 or 30-06. Big wound channels with complete pass throughs on the animals. Only one shot required for each kill, including a deep chested elk.

I've killed many deer with 140gr fusions with my 280 with great performance. They were quite accurate.

When i tried the same ammo on a moose I had poor results, 2 shots and both deflect off bone.

Have had better performance and accuracy with remington core lokts which are also cheaper.

I run mostly nosler and barnes now but they aren't very accessible if you don't reload.

There’s a guy on YouTube that does some good videos on speed comparisons and weight retention on this stuff. Seems to hold together on his tests into gel anyway. Accurate out of my 30-06 M77. Mason Leather is the YouTuber

Between my Winchester model 70's and my M18 the Federals shoot the tightest group
