Fusions

[ellensburgpo]

I wouldn't write off a bullet/company because of performance issues with one gun/barrel length. I have two Savage model 99C's in 308. Same barrel length, same year of manufacture. They are as close to identical as two guns will get. One will shoot 150 gr core locks beautifully. The other one patterns like a shotgun at 50 yards. The core lock is a great bullet, it just doesn't get along with that particular barrel.

I have a Weatheby Vangard in 22/250 that hates every bullet I've ever feed it. Except for 50gr moly coated vmax bullet from Hornady. But with that bullet it is the second smallest grouping rifle I own. And the one that does better cost one whole heck of a lot more money.

I have no experience with the Fusion bullet, but federal is a top seller so I'm assuming they have their act somewhat together. And the ammo ive used of theirs will get the job done. I'd recommend trying the Fusion bullets in another gun sometime down the road.

A .2" .308" group measures .508"......you are thinking in terms of gross.....groups are measured in nets.

Ah, I understand now. I had to use google for some help but now I get it.     I have always measured the extreme spread for my group sizes. 















This is Awesome
I have been wondering for a long time how my "internet friends" could shoot .2" groups or .3 MOA out of big bore rifles.
I am so going to start Bragging about 1/4 MOA groups.

Sorry for the thread jack BTW  (Back to our regularly schedualed programming)

looking at the doubleJ's target the first thing I think of is the bullet not being stabilized but we are still guessing on the Caliber/ weight?

Oh yeah good point.  I remember a guy on here asked for recommendation on a round for hunting and everyone was recommending a round that was too light for the twist he was shooting.

SkyBuster, looks like your biggest group is 0.5 inch.

HUH... WHAT ? What Cal. you shooting ? I rarely buy factory ammo BUT if I had to buy factory ammo it would be Fusions .. I shot them out of my .270 and my sons 25-06 and they shoot extremely tight groups ..One thing I have to say is this  if your trying to group bullets to brag to your friends about I recommend using a bench and sand bags ...Trying to hold tight groups from shooting sticks just is crazy and not counting the fact at 150 yrds ...All I know is my kid has used Fusions on 3 different deer and they layed them out ....

Shooting a .308  Not grouping for bragging, I was grouping to make sure the rifle was tight for hunting.  We use shooting sticks to hunt with so I used what we use in the field.
