Thanks for all the responses. Kinda figured the Fusion wasn't up to par with Nosler's Partition, and thought you folks would be the ones to ask for confirmation. Thanks again, my son shoots the 270 win., myself 7mm weatherby magnum. and partitions are all we've ever used hunting the wapiti / mule deer of Colorado for the past 12 yrs. We're from Ohio so we do all whitetail gun huntin w/ shotguns and blackpowder. Good information posted - much appreciated!
