#1: Federal Fusion .270 Ammo Author: Strick, Posted: Thu Nov 15, 2007 7:22 pm ---- Can anyone tell me about the Federal Fusion bullets? I bought me a 270 barrel for my pro hunter and will be sighting it in in the next couple of days and was looking for a good load. I saw the Fusion and was wondering if anyone can tell me about them.

By plating the jacket, there is a bonding that occurs and the jacket thickness can be controlled to exacting specifications. I have several friends that have used Fusion this year on mulies and bull elk and they report very good accuracy, excellent penetration and good expansion.

I haven't shot a dear yet because I haven't seen a buck yet. Sighting it in and practicing with it, I am very impressed with the accuracy.
