I love the Fusion line. I have Fusion rounds for every centerfire rifle I have that these are available for and 357 Mag, 44 Mag and 41 Mag.  Federal released earlier this year Fusion bullets as a component for reloading rifles. I got some for my 308 and have good success with them. I would love it if Federal released the bullets for handgun as a component. I didnt know they released this round for 10mm. So I went looking. I am currently bidding on 100 rounds on gunbroker. So hopefully I can give a report soon.

Looking forward to your report @Rooster41

Seems the 180gr Federal Trophy Bonded Bear Claw was one of the best handgun bullets ever designed but this load is 200gr and definitely full power. It says 1200fps and the Trophy Bonded I believe was 1175fps. Underwood lists their 200gr XTP at 1250fps but I don't know how they really compare ... close enough for me.

Underwood does push the XTP a bit fast, if this 200gr is designed to penetrate deeply at full power that will be great and I might switch to it.

Can't wait to see a ballistics gel test with it.

I didnt win that auction. Keeping an eye out for some. But Im am willing to bet it will be a while.
