- Today I Re-Test New Ammo sent to me by Federal Ammunition Co. To replace previously tested Factory Ammunition that was 300 FPS under the Stated velocity on their Box.

🎉 for Federal taking care of you.
But, what do you mean -- we don't need to see you shoot some 80gn loads??? Of course we need to see that, too 😅
Thanks Dave. You're going to make your Grandson extremely happy. He will never forget this Rite of Passage from you. Maybe we'll see him continuing your show 40 years from now.
Have a great week.
Thanks much. At my Granddaughters dance recital now.
That’s awesome, I’m taking my Savage 243 out today for sight in
That BCA is very impressive. Glad Federal fixed the issue. I will stick to loading my own Federal Fusion with Speer Gold Dots. Haha.
Sounds like a good plan indeed.
I can say that I've probably taken 20 or more Mississippi deer and hogs with this exact same load! Never an issue. Fusion bullets have been death stars on game from 0-250 yds in my experience!
Yes, the bullet is great but from the previous factory loadings, in my cases did not have enough powder. It appears Federal fixed the issue with the new ammo they sent me as replacements.
Happy birthday Dave. Your decades of experience and professional delivery is much appreciated. thank you
Thank You and Thanks for the kind words here.
Good Morning Dave!!! Happy Birthday another lap around the sun!! Good deal, Federal fixed the problem!
Thank You for the kind words here.
Good. Thank you. I am inclined to believe that the fusion is a rebranded Gold Dot.
Thanks for watching.
good morning dave
and happy birthday young jedi
Thank You! HaHa!
I have a bunch of this load put away. Its always shot consistent out to about 500 yards at the range and shoots about a 1 inch group at 100 yards
Better keep them then. Thanks for watching.
Nice of Federal to replace the sub par ammo .
It took some time about 8 weeks to get them, but Federal did make it right.
Looking for a review of the Federal Berger Hybrid Hunter and came across this video.
Glad it improved. Tickled that the BCA does well with it.
Always enjoy your content!
PS I just checked and it looks like they don't offer 243 anymore. Disappointed. I was about to order one
Thanks for watching and for the kind words here.
Good video. Thanks for the video. Enjoy It as always
Thanks for watching and for your comment here.
@@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009 no problem
Happy birthday
Thank You.
Dave its great when a Company backs their products. I have been using Federal Fusion for years now. My last box I bought was in 224 Valkery.I need to give it a whirl .Happy Birthday Dave!
Thank You for your comment here and for watching.
Good afternoon Dave. Glad to see Federal backing up and supporting its customers. Fusion is a good bonded bullet overall. Nice rifles. BCA is a sweet setup too.
And yes we want to see you shoot the 80 grain loads. That's one of the very reasons we follow your YT and watch your vids, too.
Thanks for watching and commenting here.
Dave. Good video. Good job on holding Federal accountable, also good that they reacted and made things right. And Happy Birthday. Thanks for sharing, take care.
Thanks Bobcat. Yes Federal did make the exchange OK.
I’m glad Federal took care of you! My 243 Win really likes those 95 grain Fusions. With a 22” barrel I get 2885 fps and 3/4” groups. I just wish I could buy those 95 grainers to reload since, in my limited experience, they do well on pronghorn.
Thanks for watching.
Glad they fixed the problem. I enjoyed the video as always! . That's why i usually add a superlative arms gb to my AR's. So i can adjust the gas system on the fly for any of my handloads or factory ammo. No need to mess with buffer weights, etc. for smooth operation.
Thanks for the kind words here.
Still kind of slow out of Camilla, if you ask me, but better at least. Almost FIFTY fps/inch off the box speed. 😮
I just got in a couple boxes of Sellior & Bellot factory ammo in 243. Will test in a couple different bolt guns.
Thanks, Dave!
Yes, Federal did come through with newer Ammo that did meet the box numbers on a 24" rifle. Best wishes with you S/B ammo.
Great video buddy
Thanks for watching.
Yes sir 👍
Happy Birthday Sir!!
Thank You!
Hey Dave, I’m sorry but Federal only got half way. 2801-2980=-179 so if we discount by half for a 20 inch your velocity should be ~2891. I’ve been chronoing a bunch since the Hornady light load fiasco and I’ve found most are extrapolating or showing a bit (-100/140fps) low. Powder is such a short resource that I’m afraid all manufacturers ammo is suffering
My 24" did meet or exceed the listed box Velocity. Yes, powder shortages are a pain and must be a major pain for ammo manufacturers to both meet expectations and demand. Fortunately us handloaders are able to be a little more versatile. Thanks for your comment here.
Happy Birthday Dave!!!!!
Thank You! Next year I'll lose count for sure. HaHa!
@@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009 Nah, you are sharp as a tack.
Thanks. Cool
Thanks for watching.
I believe you'll have to have thirty one hundred feet a second to have last round bolt carrier lock back happy sixty ninth birthday dave.
You maybe right. Thank Goodness I handload other, better rounds.
Great testing Dave! Do these do well on whitetail?
Absolutely! Usually compete passthrough. Of course shot placement is always paramount.
I'm in the market for a new chrono and was wonder which brand you are using in this video.
Magnetospeed Sporter. In use for the past 5 years.
@@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009 Thank you.
Any chance you pulled a bullet from the new batch and weighed the powder to see if it was different? A bit concerning that they would have such a wide spread from one lot to the other, unless they are switching powders between batches.
No I did not, because the velocity was close to the box numbers. Hornady recently had the same "change of powder and lower velocity" with their 7mm PRC. They owned up to this fact and blamed the shortage of powder that was used to develop the 7mm PRC and had to use another currently available powder. Several TH-camrs featured the lower velocity results.
You tube is up to no good again. I was unsubscribed on my account i use for my tv again. Check if you were. Happy birthday, mine was the 13th i just started rolling down the hill (41).
Happy Birthday.
