I'd suggest that you use any of those three, or try them all and see which one your rifle shoots the best. The Fusion will retain more weight and penetrate a little better than the others under similar conditions, which if you take shots through denser bone and muscle, or shots that require greater penetration to reach vitals (like shoulder shots or highly quartering, frontal, or "TX heart shots"), go with the Fusions if they shoot ok in your rifle. If you discipline yourself to broadside shots aiming for the ribs, all three will be extremely deadly. Or you would go with a 130 grain Barnes TSX bullet and not worry about bullet performance, but they are really pricey (even if you handload).
