have any of you used federals fusion 165gr bullets in a 30-06 on elk? my sons rifle seems to like these rounds and was looking for a little more info.
Amen!The Ballistic Tip and the Accubond are totally different animals.
Never used that particular bullet, but I loaded a 165 gr PSP for a friend who took an elk with a lung shot no problem. It went about 50 yds. and then fell over. Shot placement is everything. I had a guide friend who had physical restrictions regarding high recoil, and he has killed numerous elk and black bear with a .243.
The 3 most important aspects of taking big game, shot placement, shot placement, and shot placement.
