Federal fusion

Anyone shoot federal fusion bullets? I haven't seen 30-30 ammo in stores for a long time, but Academy had some federal fusion 150gr soft tips this morning so I bought 4 boxes. I've always shot Winchester super X power points out of my 30-30 and they always served me well. I'm gonna shoot the target with the Fusions to confirm POI. I was wondering if anyone here shoots em and if y'all had any complaints about the Federal bullets.
I have used them for several years in my 308, no complaints. Shoot about 1.5 moa (as good as anything else I have used) and the deer don't run far
 
My 7mm-08 loves them and so do I. I've killed several deer with them since I bought that gun and they do the job every time. Longest track was maybe 30 yards. Maybe.

Better send some down range. My 30-30 cant hit a basketball will rem corlokts, but is lights out with win power points.
 
So far this morning it's done great!!!!!

Took my 223 coyote AR-15 deer hunting this morning. Took 3 does, first one I knocked her off her feet at 30 yards, she got up and fell down for good 20 yards away. Second one I hit her broadside at 50 yards and she ran across the field about 40 yards and died just inside the woods. Third one I also got her at 50 yards and she dropped on the spot. Got to go back out to cut them up and get ready for tomorrow.
 
Have shot them in 243 and 308, both rifles loved them. Made a 297 yd shot on a 8 pt a few years back in Maury county. Complete penetration with the 243 and Federal Fusions. They are a bonded bullet and have a coating on them as well. It's good factory ammo if your rifles like it. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe it's a Speer bullet.
 
Killed several with them in 7mm Mag and .280 Remington. They group well and have seemed to perform well. My only complaint was a doe I shot very close with the .280 and the bullet just plain exploded. Made a heck of a mess, but other than that, no complaints.
