    Federal fusion?

    When I have used them, the exit wounds have NOT been small. Entry wounds are caliber sized, as expected with almost any bullet. Internet reports should always be taken with a large grain of salt. ;) Give the Fusions a try.

    trailer brake control

    I had to purchase an aftermarket controller when I borrowed a friend's 2019 Tahoe to pull my car trailer back and forth from MI to MN. HE had the trailering package but no controller.

    Federal fusion?

    I've used them in factory ammo, and I'm currently getting a load set up from my 6.5 CM by loading them as a component. They seem to hit WAY above their price point.

    Powder for 300 Weatherby with 180 grain bullets

    Anybody have an approximate load with Ramshot Grand? I have been trying to get "about" the same speed as I did with 7828SSC. It takes more Ramshot Grand as well as Vit 565 to get there, on a grain equivalent basis. Neither powder has "official" load data so far.
