fusion bullets
previous to deer season i posted a question on bullets, ballistic vs solid core. im happy to report this year i used fusion bullets,150 grain in .270 and killed 4 deer. the shots were at 30, 40, 80, and 140 yards and all dropped where they stood with a shoulder shot. we all know about placement, angles, visibility, calibers and so on but the point is these bullets made a tiny entrance hole, mushroomed out, made a pass through and exited with a quarter sized hole. my experience with ballistics was the total opposite. yes they killed the deer, but some ran up to 100 yards and rarely made a pass through. upon dressing of the deer i might find a few shards of copper and lead indicating they "blew up" upon impact. not too long ago all we had was solid core bullets. think ill stick to proven performance.

I've shot the fusions for the past couple years and love them!!
|
i love the fusions bullets in my rifles and muzzleloader, can't ask for anything better
|
I to use the fusion and federals. I had some of the ballistic silver tips several years ago and lost a few deer back when winch ester recalled them. I will never use another bullet made by them. But to each there own. Gotta use what you are confident with.

Fusions are all I use in my 30-06 for hunting (180 gr.). I have shot several deer over the last few years with them, and I think the furtherest one went was 10 yards, and he was running when I shot him. They are positively devastating.

Ive shot 4 or 5 with 150gr fusions in a 270also. I love them I decided to try a premium bullet (140gr corlokt ultra) once and it didn't do no better so this year I went back to my fusions one shot dead deer this past season.

Shot both
I,ved used both in the past .
I use to reload my 270 with the 130 and 140 grain ballistic tip bullets . The gun shot great and I never lost a deer with the proper shot placement . There were times when the BT bullet would break into small parts instead of mushrooming . I tried the fusion ammo in the gun and had very good results . Although the reloads shot better the fusion ammo stayed together and mushroomed . I bought a new Browning shortrac 270 wsm and shott the fusion ammo in it with great results . Shot a 10 pointer this past season at 640 yards . My Browning groups very well with the fusion ammo . |
How about their slugs? anyone have any expeirence?

Used the 150gr. Fusions in my 7mm. Rem. Mag. in the 2009-2010 season on 3 deer with great results.
20 yard, 50 yard, and 125 yard shot. All relatively close range for the 7 mag. All 3 bullet held together very well. 2 penetrated completely with quarter sized exits. One entered the right shoulder and ended up under the skin of the back left ham in a perfect mushroom. They seemed to be very accurate in that particular rifle also. |
Fusion
Forgot to mention I also bought a new TC Encore and I,m using the fusion sabots 50 cal.
They shot great, Very acurate . Although I didnt get a chance to use it this last season .... |
