Default FUSION Rifle rounds??

Anybody shot many of these?? Any reviews....good or bad?? I was thinking of switching to these from my vital-shoks in 165gr. out of a 300winmag. They are half the price of the Federals I shoot now.......do ya get what ya pay for or are they worth it?? They are hitting with in 1 inch of my federals so I am happy with accuracy but dont know about the bullett performance on Deer/Bear.


Thanks guys

I shoot the 165 gr. Fusions in my Browning Classic bolt action 300 wsm .
Very acurate .
I,ve shot 3 bucks with it , One went in its tracks and the other 2 went abought 45 yards or so .
Very impressed with them , I,ve also shot the 180 gr. but I think its a bit much for deer .
Soon as I find some 150 gr. I want to try them also .
I,m getting a new rifle soon in 270 wsm and will definatly be trying these in it .
Only problem I,ve had is finding 165 gr. on store shelfs .

I use the vital-shok also but I see now they are almost $50/20! I was also looking into the Fusions and heard good things. I bought 2 boxes of Power-Shok b/c they were cheap mainly for "plinking" with my 300winmag if you can call it plinking... I have heard good things about Fusion and I might have to give them a try.

Thats all I shoot. Fusion 165 gr 308 and .35. very accurate, they pretty much took place of the Federal Premium Sierra Game Kings if im not mistaken.

From what I have heard they are great go to midway usa and read the reviews when you find them on there. Remember all guns don't like the same bullets let your gun pick its own ammo it doesn't take much to kill a deer.

My rifle, Rem 7600 7mm-08,did not like them. Best I could get them to group was about 1 1/2" @ 100 Yds. With my handloads, this rifle averages around 3/4" three shot groups at 100 Yds. I'll stick to my handloads for now.
