I took my Remington 700 100 year anniversary CDL to the range today to sight in after I had it bedded and scope installed.I'm very HAPPY to report the Fusion 150gr ammo shot last 4 shots,I could cover with a quarter the last 3,I could cover with a nickel and for a 64 year old fart that wears trifocals I'm EXTREMELY Happy.Skeeter

If it's .270 Win ammo, my buddy's mod 70 shoots 1/2" at 100 with 'em!
The people wringing their hands over Trump's rhetoric don't know what time it is in America.

I have always had an appreciation for Fusion ammo's accuracy and its on game performance is to be recognized as well. I have use 130gr .270 Fusions on deer and bull moose with great effect.
AF Let your work be shown to your servants, and your glorious power to their children.

Fusion has been quite accurate in just about everything I've shot it in to date, and terminal performance has been excellent on deer-size game. It's also easy on the wallet. What's not to like?
If you're fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.

The .243 has been very good for my Kimber. The 150's have been great for us Tikka, Rem 700, Howa all grouped them very well.

It shoots well in an AR here as well. If I remember right, it was a 64gr offering Fusion bullet.

The 200gr Fusion out of a 338Fed works well on camels.

The 150gr. fusion is one of the most accurate loads for my Sako A7 in 270WSM.....not much of a test but it put down my biggest whitetail to date at 45yds.....he went about 20 yds.....

The most accurate factory ammo out of my 260 so far. Performance on game was better than expected; good expansion and a clean kill, despite less than optimal shot placement on my part.
Best Regards

I've been using the 62-gr version in one of my .223Rem rifles for three years. It's the most accurate of the big game bullets I've tried for that cartridge. The factory load as been so accurate (<3/4", 3-shots @ 100yd) that I haven't considered handloading. Terminal performance has been stellar to date as well. I'm up to around 10 deer with the load -- complete pass throughs and quick kills.

The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

I saw a movie where only the military and the police had guns. It was called Schindler's List.

LOL - good one. Re: 260 above, is that a 120gr? What rifle, and groups? Details one your field results? Thanks. If close enough, I bet a Winchester PowerPoint would be good on a Camel, right behind the ear. What round? 22LR of course Seriously, where did you hit the Camel - (and nobody say it's Toe! Lol).

Seriously, where did you hit the Camel - (and nobody say it's Toe! Lol). He was hit just behind the right front leg about 15in up from the bottom of his chest. I know little about camel anatomy but I think it's safe to assume it was probably heart/lung. He went about 10m and went down.

I just purchased a Tikka 338 WM from a follow member and plan to try it out on ELK hunting next year using the Fusion .225 gr. From all the reports the Fusion AMMO seem to do the job.
