Morning . Hot wifes rifle sorted out now for mine... its a old gen1 ruger american 308 . It used to shoot 43gr varget with sierra btsp pretty good . Then all the sudden it dont anymore . Cleaned barrel , checked rings , bases , action screws. Nothing !
Maby the scope is gone bad ? Either way...
So I had a box of Sierra Game King boat tail soft point that I use in one of my hunting rifles decided to try it in my wifes gun a ruger gen 2 308 . It was OK , the orange dot to the left is 1.5 in so I guess it's not too bad for a factory hunting rifle ? Was 100 yards.
but I'm more concerned...
Just found out federal offers the fusion as a component bullet now. Thay say there design for whitetail, but i hear a 50/50 on performance. Some say thay just pass through with small entry and exit wound. Other say thay leave golfball size holes . The idea is a rapid expansion bonded soft...

New to nosler bullets .
Just curious how the solid base compares to the partition? The solid base is think is used in the whitetail country loaded ammo ? Im guessing the solid base is more suitable for deer than the partition? As the partition is tougher for animals other than small whitetail...
Looking at a new BAR mk4 . Not sure if I want the 308 or 30-06 yet . I want to load for it , but never loaded for a automatic. Thinking 150g partition or similar bullet .
