I got a thousand 62 gr Fusions from Rocky Mtn Reloading for a good price. They are much more accurate, at least for me, than the 64 gr Bonded Solid Base (BSB) from Nosler. Terminal performance is pretty close. I’ll take the more accurate bullet every time.

IME the Nosler Bonded Base is not an accurate bullet. I’be worked a lot with the .277 90gr Nosler BB in several 6.8SPC ARs.
I’ve tried several different powders and yet to find a load that gives anything very accurate.

Comparatively, the 90 gr Gold Dots are easy to find accurate loads.

I’ve set the Noslers in the back of bullet storage because I’d have to be hard pressed to use them for any purpose when GD are readily available.
