How does the Federal Fusion MSR .308 150gr stack up?
[the MSR version, not the regular one]
Ballistically they look pretty good. I know the .223 version has gotten a couple thumb's-up from a few of our resident BTDT types.......what about the .308 MSR version? I would think that it is essentially a larger caliber with the same bullet design only larger in diameter and weight, and therefore better terminal effects (?). Like the .223 version on steroids.
Opinions? Thinking about ordering some, no bolt guns involved.

Now that you mention it, yes. Those would be the most direct analog.
I suspect Federal dropped them because they had to pay royalties for every single projectile they used. They all had the "T" stamped on the base of the bullet just like very TBBC you ever saw.
Their new series (Edge?) seems to be very similar construction, but permitting them to get out from under the royalties.
