Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles What is Federal fusion or fusion msr?

Some stores sell 62 grain fusion from the federal company but I see some of this sold as 62 grain fusion MSR. The regular fusion is more expensive. Is it better?

MSR stands for Modern Sporting Rifle and is specifically designed for use in AR-style rifles. It has a faster burning powder to accommodate shorter (16"ish barrels) and, I believe, it also has crimped primers. If you're shooting a bolt-action, I'd choose the regular Fusion but if you're shooting an AR, I'd choose (and did) the Fusion MSR.

I use the regular Fusion with no problems.
