I was wondering the other day if anyone has used the new Fusion bullets by Federal on Deer yet? I sent them an email asking if they are going to start offering the bullets to those of us that reload. I hate the current prices of the 30 cal 165gr Nosler Balistic tips at ~18-19 dollars per 50. If they were 10-12 dollars per 100 I would be very happy. I can live without the plastic tip.
I haven't used them before, but it would be nice if they offered the bullets separate. They'd probably be closer to $23-$28 per 100 (for 30 cal) would be my guess.
I think that they would have to be cheaper than 28 per 100. I think the last price I saw for Remington Core-locks was around 14 per 100. I was hopeing for similar pricing for a better bullet. It might be to much to ask for. I had used Remington factory ammo before I started reloading and always liked it. Once I started loading the other bullet choices looked superior even if they did cost more. The only place where I have saved money on bullets is my hardcast lead ones for my pistols in 357 mag and 45acp.
You are probibly right on your estimate. I just checked and the Remington core-locks 30 cal 165gr are 26 dollars/100. The Federal Fusions I am sure would be priced similar at best.
i shoot the 62 grn Fusion in both my ARs for hogs. Also shoot them in my 25-06. Trying them in my new .308 this weekend. I like them. Open nicely and retain alot of their weight. ( have only recovered 2, from hogs i have shot)
