Hey all, everyone who hunts here should dig this one.
I know I commented on it before but I hadn't understood as much about it then as I do now. Federal's new bullet, the Fusion, looks like its going to rock.
Its a bonded core bullet, but not as expensive as the others. Looks like a regular bullet, the kind that don't have exposed lead. But the bonding is electrochemical, and not mechanical like the others, so this one won't cost anything extra.
What they do is soak the lead in a tank of metal for 20 hours, so the jacket forms over it one layer at a time for a molecular bond. Then when its formed they smash it with a five sided punch to make the fault lines the bullet will open up along. Gives more than 2X expansion and retains 80% of its weight...Oh yeah, and its boat tailed
Should be like 18.00 a box or something.
