I like the 62 Barnes and the 62 grain bear claws for pigs. Kills cshit or of them. 62 gr. Bear Claws? Where can you get those? in Texas.....  22 cal deer bullets.... guess I am old school once again...like stuff that has been around because it works.. 60 Hornady SP, 63 Sierra SMP, 70 Speer SMP.... guess Barnes have been around long enough now...so they'd pass my old stuff acceptance... but then you're talking to someone who would be using 3031 or H 322 to fuel them... I think on guns, & firearm stuff I'm lost somewhere between 1954 and 1974...

Although they look similar, I believe they're different bullets based on details like the position of the cannelure, etc.. Need more info on the Bear Claw if they are indeed different bullets than the Fusion. DF

Unless Federal stamps the base of the Fusion with a "T" like they do with the Trophy Bonded Bear Claw, I'd say no. There is definitely a "T" stamp on those bullet bases in those pics, which does at least lend some credence to them being a true TBBC... Interesting.

The old originals were all stamped with a t on the base. One of the members here retired from the FBI. He says the Bear Claw is the best glass penetration bullet. I have some original 55’s. They will hammer piggies. I haven’t shot a deer, but I know they would be just fine.

Even if they aren’t the same, the Fusions are pig hammers, too.

Shortactionsmoker posted a few years ago about his experience with the 64 BSB but out of a Tikka bolt gun. Varget did the trick.

Thanks for the info guys, keep it coming. Didn't know you could get TBBC bullets to reload. I'll have to look into some of them as well. So many good options these days.
