[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1023808, member: 52437"] my wife uses .243 win in 95 grain fusions. They are tack drivers in her 243, as far as performance goes I am not sure what to think. out of 10 deer, ALL 10 deer were recovered...however, 6 deer did not have pass throughs. All shots were under 275 yards with most being under 150. Of the 6 that did not pass through, I can think of 3 that were definitely under 100 yards. BUT some of them did hit shoulders which might be the culprit for those not passing through. All 6 were perfectly mushroomed and did lots of internal damage. 6 of the 10 deer, dropped right where they stood, 3 ran less than 15 yards and 1 deer managed to run 40-50 yards. The one that ran there was ZERO blood on the ground AND he was found inside a bush. We almost did not find him. So in theory the .243 and fusion combo did it's job, 10 out of 10 deer recoveries, BUT again, without exit wounds you do not tend to get good blood trails so I am not sure what to think? [/QUOTE]
