Actaully, petersons hunting mag had a bit on them a few issues back. They seemed to like them alot. I would have to see more from them before trusting them to my precious hunting time.

RE: Fusion rifle ammo.
The bullet idea is soud.
I have not shot any ,I reload all my ammo and will wait till the bullets are avabile to reload ( I read after hunting season)
I believe 1/3 to 1/2 of the BS some of the gun writer post
To many bad reviews and they are looking for a new job

RE: Fusion rifle ammo.
Basicaly it is a bonded bullet with out having to chemically bond the lead to the jacket.
They have a lead core and are able to apply a copper jacket one molecule thick at a time. The copper essentially impregnates itself onto the lead until the copper is the desired thickness. This allows them to produce a bullet that exibits all the terminal performance characteristics of a bonded bullet but in a much more cost effective way and is actually a much more precise way of applying the jacket to the lead core than conventional methods of copper tubing..
Speer uses this same process on their Gold Dot line of hand gun bullets.
