RE: Federal Fusions
No need to buy expensive bullets for deer. I use the $11.00 per box Federal Power Shock ammo and have had great success, including this 260 pound buck I shot last fall that dropped on the spot from a .30-06 150gr. at 60 yards. Just the right amount of expansion, and they shoot clover leaves at 100 yards on paper through my Remington 700XCR.

I also use the 165 grain in my 308, thats all we have ever used inour guns were 165s. They get the job done right away.

I shoot the 165gr fusions in my .308. I am very pleased. Last year I shot a buck from 16 yds with incredible expansion. The chest cavity looked like a bowl of melted jello. bang, flop. By the way, the .308 with fusions is my only rifle, I don't reload for.
I really like the 100 gr sierra gamekings in my .243 for deer.
