The old man tested that Fusion ammo a good while back before it came out commercially. Had my youngest sister dial it in for her .243 to take to Tennessee. She had no complaints with accuracy and she dropped both a Buck and a Doe in their tracks with them. We all reload and use Hornady bullets for most all of our needs, but for the .243, I don't think those 95gr would be a bad buy for anyone as long as they are accurate from their rifle. As far as dropping a black bear with them, I would try limiting your shots to off the shoulder and no longer than 150 yards. Black bear fold up pretty much as easily as whitetail but those shoulders are pretty thick and dense. Quartered away and tucked in the crease would be a beauty shot but broadside, just barely miss the shoulder and take out the lungs. If you are into archery hunting, pick the shots you would use for bow hunting.
