You did get a very informative response, from me. 
You seem to think that it's "fun" to ignore the rules. Well you're new here so I'll just let you in on a little secret. Follw the rules and be repsectful and you'll do just fine.
Perhaps taking the time to read the rules may be a good first step.

You nancys sure do make life fun - it didnt get any response in the other forum so I added it somewhere that it might get some response. I am just glad you guys are so helpful and on top of things - you are the kind that really make asking questions fun. Glad you can add to the discussions.
I'm glad someone besides me is finally starting to take offense at this issue. The mods never seem to do anything about it though.

Seriously just stop trying to be a dunce over the whole thing. I added it to a forum where it would get a response and I got some opinions - if you continue to feel the need to be an a hole over something like this then just ignore this thread all together - dont know why you need to act like this.

RE: Federal Fusion vs Premium VitalShok in 308?
I have been using the ballistic tips for some time now and have nothing but praise for them.
I have used both Winchester and Federal versions and would not hesitate to use Remingtons ballistic tip round.
I use Federal Power Shoks for sighting in and would use these for hunting if I did not have any ballistic
tip rounds. Remington Corelokts would be the next to use. I use the 150 grain bullets where I hunt in New York.
The ballistic tip, I feel, is the perfect bullet fo whitetail. All the deer I have shot went down within sight. My brother
has been using the Corelokts with the same results.
I would stay away from the Fusions. I have tried them in four rifles and have not had good results at the rifle range.
Group sizes average one to three inches larger in all rifles.

Irregardless a fusion or controlled expansion bullet is not needed unless one is using a Super mag at close range. Just buy the cheapest Remington or Federal,Winchester ammo you can find with a 150 grain bullet on it and be done.

JMHO ,And not trying to be a smartA$$.I live in Va. Hunt Va.& N.C. The deer are not armor plated........LOL Just find out which 150 or 165 pill shoots the best out of your rifle and Katie bar the door.Anything from Rem. corelockt to ballistic tips to federal premiums,to hornady customs .If you pop it with a .308 it WILL bite the dust.They all just have different expansion characteristics.
