tried fusion

[catchdog]

have any of you tried fed fusion ammo on hogs? if so how would you rate it ?

My buddy swears by them. I've watched him drop 2 hogs and an axis buck, all went down like they were poleaxed.

My buddy shoot them out of 300 win mag, shot an antelope at 175yds and the bullet blew up. From what I saw it didn't hold together.

feelinducky what gr bullet was he shotting ? i have heard a couple of stories like that from the 300 mag . im shotting a 30-06 with 165 gr

He was shooting a 180g. He has also shot a few deer with them, I didn't see the deer he shot but he said the same thing, they came apart. He doesn't shoot the fusion anymore.

I use the fusion with my 30-06 165 grain, used it on pigs dropped them dead in their tracks every time bullets that I recovered held together like a bullet should. Had the same results with deer too. most shots were between 60 to 250 yards

heavyhitter, how is penetration, what size hogs have you killed ? they shoot better out of my gun than anything i have tried want to use them on bear and hogs. i have heard that pigs are tougher than bears but i really dont know . i have shot both and they die the same when you take out ther lungs or spine. but i havent shot anything but paper with the fusion and just want to know how it works on game. and since you are using the exact thing as me any more info would help. thanks
