Default RE: Federal Fusions

My friend shot a nice 8 point that dressed out just over 200 pounds with him 30-06 using 165 gr. Federal Fusion ammo. The deer was walking away from his stand. He shot it inthe back of the ribs, pretty far back. The bullet went through a lung and stopped in the neck. It went through about two feet of deer back to frontbefore stopping. He showed use the recovered bullet.The expansion was perfect. We didn't mic it, but I'd be willing to bet (and I don't bet) that it expanded to .650" or so. It was more then double,you could tell by looking at it. I was very impressed to say the least. [/align]
