Surprisingly when I ran the fusion ammo over the magneto speed this summer it was slower then advertised.
Federal says 2500 fps avreage from a 16 inch barrel. My AA barrel was just barely over 2400 fps at the muzzle.
Still found it interesting to see that happen. I'm not a vital zone shooter for sure but figured it would be a good chance to see what it would do at a longer range then last year's deer.
If I get anouther chance this year to get a shot like this again I will take it just to compare it but after that I'm going to start shooting the high shoulder again with this bullet and then try a diffrent bullet on a few vital zone shots.
Lil testing never hurts.
Something I have seen a few times over the years is if you shoot an animal in the lungs that has exhaled you often get a lights out DRT result and the lungs and sometimes heart are basically liquid Shoot a similar sized animal that has lungs full of air in the same location and have a hole through the lungs and they run a ways. I have been able to do this on a few occasions and watch it on a few other ones. When the lungs are not full of ait they are much more "liquid" than if they are full of air. Lung sacks full of ait do not transmit energy as readily as ones devoid of most of the ait and are thus more dense.
Watched a bull elk that was shot right at the end of his bugle and he was DRT from a double lung hit from a 257 WBY 110gr accubond 287 yards from the shooter. Lungs were liquid. I shot an elk similar placement at 110 yards with a 7mm STW 160gr partition that went about 70 yards after the shot and there was about a 1.5 inch hole through the lungs. Does make you think about hydrostatic shock.
