🎉 for Federal taking care of you. But, what do you mean -- we don't need to see you shoot some 80gn loads??? Of course we need to see that, too 😅 Thanks Dave. You're going to make your Grandson extremely happy. He will never forget this Rite of Passage from you. Maybe we'll see him continuing your show 40 years from now. Have a great week.

Good afternoon Dave. Glad to see Federal backing up and supporting its customers. Fusion is a good bonded bullet overall. Nice rifles. BCA is a sweet setup too. And yes we want to see you shoot the 80 grain loads. That's one of the very reasons we follow your YT and watch your vids, too.

Dave its great when a Company backs their products. I have been using Federal Fusion for years now. My last box I bought was in 224 Valkery.I need to give it a whirl .Happy Birthday Dave!

Thank You for your comment here and for watching.

@usafret4709 Месяц назад

That BCA is very impressive. Glad Federal fixed the issue. I will stick to loading my own Federal Fusion with Speer Gold Dots. Haha.

@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009 Месяц назад

Sounds like a good plan indeed.

@nmelkhunter1 Месяц назад

I’m glad Federal took care of you! My 243 Win really likes those 95 grain Fusions. With a 22” barrel I get 2885 fps and 3/4” groups. I just wish I could buy those 95 grainers to reload since, in my limited experience, they do well on pronghorn.

I can say that I've probably taken 20 or more Mississippi deer and hogs with this exact same load! Never an issue. Fusion bullets have been death stars on game from 0-250 yds in my experience!

@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009 17 дней назад

Yes, the bullet is great but from the previous factory loadings, in my cases did not have enough powder. It appears Federal fixed the issue with the new ammo they sent me as replacements.

Glad they fixed the problem. I enjoyed the video as always! . That's why i usually add a superlative arms gb to my AR's. So i can adjust the gas system on the fly for any of my handloads or factory ammo. No need to mess with buffer weights, etc. for smooth operation.

It took some time about 8 weeks to get them, but Federal did make it right.

@luvtahandload7692 Месяц назад

Still kind of slow out of Camilla, if you ask me, but better at least. Almost FIFTY fps/inch off the box speed. 😮 I just got in a couple boxes of Sellior & Bellot factory ammo in 243. Will test in a couple different bolt guns. Thanks, Dave!

@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009 Месяц назад

Yes, Federal did come through with newer Ammo that did meet the box numbers on a 24" rifle. Best wishes with you S/B ammo.

@user-pv9ep8gf9w Месяц назад

Hey Dave, I’m sorry but Federal only got half way. 2801-2980=-179 so if we discount by half for a 20 inch your velocity should be ~2891. I’ve been chronoing a bunch since the Hornady light load fiasco and I’ve found most are extrapolating or showing a bit (-100/140fps) low. Powder is such a short resource that I’m afraid all manufacturers ammo is suffering

@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009 Месяц назад

My 24" did meet or exceed the listed box Velocity. Yes, powder shortages are a pain and must be a major pain for ammo manufacturers to both meet expectations and demand. Fortunately us handloaders are able to be a little more versatile. Thanks for your comment here.

Absolutely! Usually compete passthrough. Of course shot placement is always paramount.
