I bought a new rifle just after Christmas and have had it at the range twice now. It's a Ruger M77 MkII chambered in 7mm Rem Mag.
I bought the dies and bullets, but had to fire off some factory loads to get the brass to reload. I thought I would see what it could do, so I bought the following:
(1 Box) Remingtion 150 Gr PSP Core-Lockt
(1 Box) Winchester Premium w/ 150 Gr Nosler Ballistic Silvertips
(2 Boxes) Federal Classic w/ 150 Gr Speer Hot-Cor
and 1 box of this funky looking "Fusion Ammo". Upon closer inspection, the box has a few federal logos real small between the pshycedellic colors and deer antlers. Real wierd box.
Shot 'em all. They all performed well, but the Fusion is outstanding!
After sighting in the scope I started shooting groups onto the color changing targets. When I got to the fusion, I could not believe it. 5 shots of factory ammo from a factory rifle inside a 1.5 inches on the bullseye!
This was from a bench with just basic sandbags under the foreend of the stock. No fancy vise or benchrest devices.
We started taking shots at a few old pumpkins that we put on the 200 yd berm. Only took one shot to hit a softball sized pumpkin. Yeah, there wasn't much left.
I'm impressed.
