Has anyone tried federal fusion 165grn .308 ammo? just wandering if it was worth switching from sierra gamekings for deer.

Tried them in my kimber 84m and they shot well. I haven't tried them on game yet but being a cheap bonded bullet they should do really well. I like the idea I'll try them when I get a chance.


Straight shootin to ya

I haven't tried the Fusion, but would state that the 165 grain weight is a winner in the .308 with nearly any bullet!

Don't bother trying them in an ar10. I picked up a couple boxes for cheap plinking and got nothing but jams (between homes so I can't reload). Wish I could be of more help.

I harvested a doe whitetail and doe antelope with my .308 and 165 Fusion factory load last fall. Not only were the Fusion bullets extremely accurate but they dropped both animals in their tracks.

Used my 7mm-08 with 140 TSX on my antelope buck and cow elk during the same hunting season. The Fusion bullet is a winner in my book. Wouldn't hesitate to use it on elk.
