Anyone have any experience with this ammo? Accuracy, reliability, velocity results? For the same price, is it superior to the 150 grain variant? I know that Federal Fusion is very low pressure loaded in 223, is it the same with how it is loaded for 308?

 I centerpunched a PA whitetail with it from a 16 inch barrelled savage boltaction. He was standing facing me at 125 yards and he flipped over upside down and was DOAit also held a nice 1,5-2 inch group at 200 yards in my AR308 |

How did it print on paper out of your AR POI wise compared to your zero with 150gr ball? |

For whitetail, I prefer 150 grain .308 loads. They penetrate more than enough and kill really well. For brown bear, elk, moose, etc, I would probably want the 180 grain stuff. 165 is a nice compromise between the 2. |

As I recall from sighting in the 180 after establishing a zero with the 150, the 180 printed a similar sized group, just offset a few inches at 100.
I gave it a few clicks and got it centered on a 6 inch bull. A couple of weeks later, I was sitting on a stump watching the buck walk towards me at 125, parallax was set to 100, he paused, boom i saw feet in the air thru the scope as he flipped over.   |
