Not the Federal Fusion but I use Federal Premium Triple Sock and I really like the grouping. I am just a Big federal fan. If I did not handload the ammo everything else I shoot is Federal made from my pistol to my varmint to my long guns.

I have never used them, but I am not going to argue with Brock Lesnar.

I shot two deer last year with the 30-06 Fusions, both DRT. I am hunting with a 7mm-08 this year, and so far they patern the best. Core-loks were horrible in it, but the fusions stack up.

Fusion was the least accurate factory loaded ammo I tried in my 7-08, .35 Whelen and my wife's .243.
It was mediocre in my .22-250.
My son swears by it in his 30-06.
If your going to use factory ammo you just have to try it and see how it works for your rifle.

I shoot a .270 and I use the Federal Fusion 130 grains. Love 'em! Shot my first buck ever this past weekend in LA (a 7 pointer. He dropped like a rock. For what it's worth, that's my opinion.

I am trying it this year in my 25-06. It shot great at the range. I hope it does just as well on game!!

My 270WSM Vanguard loves the 150gr. Fusion load. All animals DRT. Groups are fine.

I sighted in my AR in 308 and 7mm mag with Fusion this year. Both guns loved it as far as accuracy goes. Have yet to shoot it at a live animal.

I have been using F.F. for 4 years now and I would not think about changing to something else . Like said -DRT .

I shoot Federal Premiums in my .270. Been thinking about switching to Fusion since they are somewhat cheaper.

I have seen them used and used them in .270 & 30-06 and I will have to say that they perform very well.
You cant complain about the price and they bonded so seperation is not an issue, if I didnt load my own then I would buy fusion.
