  Last year went to wyoming lope hunting.  Killed 4 with 165 grns out of my 06.  Longest shot was 386 yards shortest was 123.  No prob!  I also shoot them out of my Springfeild socom.  Like them alot!

My savage .308 won't eat them worth a damn

The 243 fusions work great when a guy can find them. I bought a box for my mother-inlaw and she has killed 2 or 3 deer with them.

I've got four mulies and one spike elk with them. They seem to do the job just fine, Browning BAR .300 win mag 180 grain. Shots ranged from fifty yards to three fifty.

I use the Fusion 165gr. 300wsm.  Never had a problem with them.  Last year, took a Muley thru and thru @ 330yrds.  Flat shooting.

My pard flattened a bull with a 150 from a 30-06.....recovered it and it held its weight and looked picture perfect.

Deadly and accurate ...I reload my own bullets but have used them out of my sons 7mm-08 in a 140 gr bullet and they worked just fine ... :tup:

150's in my '06 worked well!.  an elk and a couple deer fell to them.
