Federal Fusion ammunition #13833480 05/19/19 OP Bivouac Regular Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 572 I needed some brass for the .243 and then bought some Federal Non-typical and some Federal Fusion. took both to the range today and burn down iv shots from each The federal Non-typical four shot grouping measured 1.5 inches - certainly adequate. The Fusion ammunition measured 4 shot for one inch - WITH 3 SHOTS TOUCHING. WOW, I accept never ever seen accuracy like this from Factory ammunition. I will be curious to meet how it performs on game. Anyone used this load on deer, etc? Any caliber Concluding edited past Skatchewan; 05/19/19.

It worked also as whatsoever other bullet I've used. I've used it in 416 Rigby though not annihilation bigger than deer. It killed them pretty expressionless too. I bought it as it was the least expensive ammo I could find.

I haven't had any problems with it on deer size game. Only one didn't go out. Information technology was right under the skin on the offside shoulder.

Information technology has shot very well in all of them and has performed well on fox, coyote, groundhogs, and deer. I tried the 150 gr xxx-06 ammo in a 30-06 Fieldcraft and information technology shot acceptable, probably ane i/4" just I didn't measure the groups....need to get dorsum to that rifle and meet what it will do.

They have been great on deer/hogs in 7mm and .30cal. My personal preference in .24/.25 calibers is to use a tougher bullet for more reliable exits, but a Fusion should be a fine killer.

Well, I merely intend to load the brass 5 times so discard, then I am certain it volition be fine Re: Federal Fusion armament [Re: Skatchewan] #13834369 05/20/19 Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: ane,416 Bbear Campfire Regular Campfire Regular Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 1,416 Used some of it years ago in my 25-06. Accuracy was effectually one" or slightly better. I saved the brass equally well. It volition reload ok but if y'all push the pressure the primer pockets enlarge as well quick.

He bought some Fusion ammo in the 115 grain weight, and shot a few "Micky Mouse Heads" with them at 100 yards. Last twelvemonth he killed three white tails with that ammo. Worked wonderfully. 2 bullet recovered. I weighed 113 and i weighed 112 grains. I have to say, they did them correct. Re: Federal Fusion ammunition [Re: Skatchewan] #13835644 05/twenty/19 Joined: Jul 2016 Posts: 49 LukefromBC Member Member Joined: Jul 2016 Posts: 49 I shoot that same load the 243 95 gr fusion load through a Tikka t3. Information technology shoots extremely accurately for me also consistently 0.5 to 0.75 MOA at 100 yards. It is almost tempting not to bother to load for that rifle since information technology shoots and then well. But now that I've run a few more than boxes of that load but unlike lots I've noticed that it runs painfully slow in my Tikka, as low as 2760 fps in some lots, and the ES is pretty bad at over 110 fps. It strings vertically noticeably at 300m. So I'k back to loading the Sierra 85 gr btsp over H4350.

They had gotten them in bulk and the price was proficient. I've been loading them in the .223 and am impressed with how well they grouping.. I had tried the Bonded Solid Base Noslers, only 1 1/2" groups were about the norm. These Fusion bullets shoot inch or better our of an AR, not a target version, just a std carbine length, Colt lower, Olympic Arms upper. From what I've heard the 62 Fusion has terminal performance equivalent to the 64 BSB and I've observed accurateness to be much ameliorate, around half the group size.

Yup, several truck loads of antelope over the past years and a few mule deer thrown in also. My Kampfeld congenital .243 loves them. I don't take pics of all my targets but hither are a few. And FYI the "flyer" isn't a flyer on the targets, I read a post once stating yous needed to shoot a shot to punch a hole showing the actual size of said hole so you lot could get an accurate measurement once you shoot a group if that makes sense. 5 shots in that group to make information technology count:) 5 shots iii Dead antelope You go the idea:) Terminal edited by Oregonmuley; 05/20/19.

How so? DF Biggest trouble I've had wth Federal contumely was a instance-head separation. My 7mm RM leaves a light scratch on the brass when it is ejected from the bedroom, providing an accurate count of the number of time the case has been chambered, which is generally close to if not the same as the number of times fired. When I got the separation, the count was 17. That means xvi full-length resize operations. I always check the cases for incipient separation but toss the brass every bit 12 scratches on principle. The accuracy possible with Federal brass sucks, though. My all-time my .22-250 could do is 4 shots into 0.5" at 200 yards and the best my 7mm RM has been able to do is three shots into .262" at 100. I'm sure "expert" brass would chop those group sizes by to at least half. (laughing) Coyote Hunter - NRA Patriot Life, NRA Whittington Center Life, GOA, DAD - and I VOTE! No, I'g not a Ruger bigot - only an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #one'south. A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
