I have used them on 11 deer and only one did not drop at the shot. It made one leap and dropped. All have been pass throughs even when hitting a shoulder going in or out. Longest shot was 80ish yards. I have not used them on anything larger than deer. I love my 338Fed.

While I would use my 338-06 on anything in North America, I never envisioned this 185 Fusion as other than a deer bullet. Sounds like it'll be a great choice for deer. For bigger stuff, I have, well, bigger stuff. Cheers all, Rex

Every time I think I have enough rifles in the .338-.358 caliber range I read another guy touting his .338Fed …. I KNOW that I need an AR in that chambering to fully be considered a man. 😀
I bought into that great Midway deal and have 4 or 5 hundred and several 308s so it’s a logical leap that I now need a rifle to go with it, right? I think a suppressed 18” AR in that chambering would be a pretty wicked <350yds thumper. I can see keeping that onboard my 33’ trawler for all around SE AK use….I’m never without backup and being the practical sort I’d probably need a Howa Mini or whatever their lightest .308 (unless they do a LW 338fed) as a backup rifle.

I literally bought a Savage ar10 in 338 federal after buying 1k of these fusions for 18 cents a piece. Its now the cheapest thing I shoot believe it or not. It's tons of fun to shoot.
