308 Winchester Federal Fusion Ballistics Gel Ammo Test
This is a ballistics gel test and review of 308 Winchester Federal Fusion 150, 165 and 180 grain ammo fired from a Ruger American chambered in 308 Winchester with a 22 inch barrel.
Checkout my leather gear handmade by me, just for you here: www.masonleather.com/store/c19/shop-all-gear#/
All shots are fired from a distance of 100 yards to encompass the majority of common real world hunting scenarios.
I will be shooting into 10% ballistics gel from www.clearballistics.com that has been calibrated to meet the FBI ballistics testing protocol.
While ballistics gel isn’t an exact proxy for big game, small game, predators or defensive situations, it does provide a repeatable medium through which to test various bullets and ammunitions against each other.
With each type of ammo tested I collect data on bullet penetration depth, bullet weight retention, bullet expansion, muzzle velocity and impact velocity.
For reference, bullet expansion is measured at the widest expanded point using a calibrated Frankford Arsenal Digital Caliper.
Bullet weight is measured using a calibrated Frankford Arsenal Digital Scale after having removed as much ballistics gel as possible from the expanded bullets.
Muzzle velocity is measured using a Garmin Xero C1 Pro Chronograph. Impact velocity is a mathematical estimate.
My goal with these ballistics gel tests is to provide hunters like you and I with the most objective information possible to help us make the best choice for our particular hunting situation.
The results of these tests are my own and I cannot guarantee the same or similar performance on your part. The views and opinions expressed in this video are solely my own.
All videos are filmed in a safe and controlled environment on a private range with all applicable safety precautions by a trained professional.

My Walmart regularly has the Federal Power Shok .270 Winchester 150 grain soft point now. I would really like to see this load tested here. I think it's an economy "sleeper" load that gets plenty of actual use by deer, bear, and hog hunters , but gets overlooked by those reviewing of ammo.
Those guys at Ruger.. They really have done good by the Marlin name. New innovation, quality engineering And construction...🤠
Good info. Thank you.
The performance of these was shockingly similar. Like you said, pick the one your rifle likes best. I’d like to see a direct comparison between these results and a test of the same bullets but loaded in 30-06.
I know what I am about to say is going to get on some people's nerves and I know that isn't what you are doing in this video but, please everyone do your research, I don't care what new caliber companies come up with and bring to the open market but the 308 has done it all, sniper round in the arm force's, it was the go to round for years loaded with the 168 grn bullets, just because you came up with what you think might be a new caliber (6.5 Creedmoor), like Hornaday did you don't have to dog the crap out of the 308, and just because some new caliber may do better doesn't mean the older caliber you keep dogging on will stop doing what it has been doing for year's, I mentioned the Creedmoor because that seemed to be the one everyone compares to the 308, well it's really time to stop because it has been around long enough that it should have already made a name for itself so........
Bull crap
The mini is still better looking
I remember they had shotguns to
I have been watching your videos for quite a while now and I really enjoy them and look forward to the new ones being released. This one is perhaps my favorite though. I like the side by side comparisons across the same line of bullet. Very informative and well done. Keep up the good work. I have even referred your channel to some other people to watch on a shooting chat forum where I belong. Thanks!!!
Excellent video. Thank you for clear and concise information!
Federal Fusion just seems to be about the best hunting ammo in the USA at this time. Thanks for the testing.
each one of the bullet weights has an ideal barrel twist rate to be matched to, therefore in order to do a fair test you would need three rifles all identical with except the barrel twist rates.
So the real difference would be energy @100 yards
Thanks for the video you did an excellent job on that. Can you tell me what you did to the stock on that gun thank you.
Did Ruger do away with the micro groove rifling? Are they using 5R or button?
That Federal Fusion loads are my factory loads of choice. Great bullets.
The bullets are Gold Dot one heck of a bullet
Stick to max 2 shots per block
Great start for the .308 comparisons. Love factory Federal if I don’t reload. Love the idea with the new metric and thanks for sharing Mason.
Your channel has been fantastic for comparing loads and pondering terminal performance. With your findings, I’d been leaning towards fusion .308, and wondered about the three loadings. Thanks for all the work you’re putting in!
Please stop supporting the atf! If you love the 2nd amendment you wouldn't give your money to the atf!
I use the 150 grain fusion.
Nosler BTs or Sierra TGKs next 🤔
Federal fusion bullets are just amazing. And they look damn good expanded as well.
I have used fusion many years on bucks ,,it stomps a big buck like a bolt of lightning
The only Federal I prefer doesn't have "government" after it
Glock is the Honda civic of pistols...they are reliable they don't break down and they are something you buy your daughter
My T3 300 wsm loves the 165 grain load, if i do my part a dime will cover up a 3 shot 100 yard group. They've worked well for plenty of whitetails and a few elk
That Fusion stuff is no joke!! Good video.
3 for 1 friday special. Nice. Excellent Video thank you sir!!!
ALLSSOOOOOOOOO THE GLOCKS GOT A TRIGGER SAFTEY SO IF IT FALLS IT WONT FIRE IF YOU CHUCK THE 1911 AT A WALL IT MIGHT GO OFF IT MIGHT HAVE A SAFETY BUT STILL A TRIGGER SAFTEY WILL DO JUST FINE FOR A GLOCK
Also, not all 1911 are 1911 they could be 2011’s that are made out of steel and plastic. ALSO, if the 1911 is pure steel it can heat up so your gonna need gloves 🧤 for if it’s summer 👍
Correction!! GLOCKS DONT ONLY SHOOT 9MM,THEY GOT 10MM ,40CAL 45ACP, AND IN WORK THEY GOT 50GI
IV been waiting for 308 for soooooo long! Thanks . I wanted to ask one favour is it possible to do a 50 yard test with these? I really want to use fed fusion but it's not available in Australia I find the only bonded I can get (Sako super hammer head 150gr) falls apart as if it's cup n core
Fusion is my favorite do - it - all round
I have had similar results from hundreds of Federal Fusion rounds. Very consistent, excellent accuracy, ballistics and terminal performance.
I’ve always wanted to see gel tests at distance. You are awesome!
Awesome
This is tt pistol
Now you're talking! I'd love to see Hornady 150g SST, I've never had a deer take a single step after being shot with that!
Another great video, awesome ammunition off the shelf. Thanks for sharing,
I'm in love with all.
I strongly agree with your conclusions. Living as I do in the Northwest, clearly these are excellent loads for blacktails and mule deer, but for big-bodied Roosevelt elk? They expand too much, as you noted. The Barnes and Swift A-Frame bullets are more popular for that purpose. The A-Frames have lately become crazy-expensive, though.
Fusion is my go-to factory choice for Kansas white tail 👍🏻
6.5 needmore 😂😂😂
New hunter here. Just want to say your videos are fantastic!!
Glad to be of service and thanks for your support!
Obviously you would have to choose accuracy over everything else here. Especially on deer class game at the typical deer killing ranges. I like the muzzle velocity range of all three for deer class game. I'm not a big fan of blistering fast hyper expanding bullets and fragmenting bullets for edible game anyway. These hold together, expand well, and do plenty of damage at fairly moderated speeds it appears.
I'm curious if the 150gr is the same bullet loaded in the 300aac and how it performs in the smaller casing
I use the Fusion in both rifles and handguns. If they make a questionable load, I haven't met it. It's stunning from a lever action in 44 Magnum Nice presentation
