95 grain Fusion here as well. I wont enter the woods without em.


They shot well for me too. Good round. I had best groups with the 95 grain Fusion along with the 95 grain Winchester Ballistic Tip
 
Yep-

Another 95 gr fusion fan here too.

Probably the most accurate factory loaded round I have ever shot.

No need for me to reload for my daughters .243
 
i shoot rem 100 grains as well. they are cheap and i can group 1.5 inch at 120 yards. never had a deer run over 30 yds. never not had a pass through. probably 50+ deer with this round and gun.
 
If you can handload I shoot a 100g Sierra Gameking. The issue with using factory ammo in the Rossi is that it is basically free bored. The groups I got with shelf ammo was not very good. I reloaded some and seated them out as far as I safely could--the group size tightened up a lot.
 
Hornady 100 gr bullets have always been one shot kills on deer for me. Sierra 85 gr and lighter have killed deer but bullts did break apart and penetration was not as good as Hornady.
Most of my friends prefer Nosler ballistic tip bullets but my Howa 243 rifle does not give good accuracy with that bullet.
If money is a factor and you do not reload, I would go with soft point in Remington or Winshester. They may not be the most accurate, but they do the job and won't hurt the pocket book.
 
I've been using cor-lokt in my Son's but I'm gonna really tyry the Fusions. Alot of people on here have seemed fond of em. The cor-lokts have been somewhat sporadic for us. What does a box of the Fusion run?
