I'd choose the 140gr and not look back. Oh now I see, 120gr is a Barnes ttsx. Should hold together better than a cup and core bullet. But I don't feel I can afford the price of speciality bullet's so stick to heavier cup and core bullets. Actually, don't know if they are around or not, but in 7mm I go nuts to find a factory 160gr load. I reload so I'd go with a 1660gr Speer Hot Core.Question for you guys that shoot a 7mm-08. I only hunt whitetails and am looking for suggestions between 2 different rounds. Both group great out of my gun and shots will be under 300 yards, what one would you shoot and why?
Federal fusion 140 grain or Barnes ttsx 120 grain.
I believe the Fusion is a bonded bullet, like the Partition and Accubond.I'd choose the 140gr and not look back. Oh now I see, 120gr is a Barnes ttsx.

Nope, at least not bonded ...copper covered lead. Federal claims a unique electroplating process. IMO they sit between true cup and cores and standard bullets in penetration. Depending on what you are shooting that's not necessarily a bad thing.I believe the Fusion is a bonded bullet, like the Partition and Accubond.
Maybe Federal should take the word “bonded” off of their boxes then. They sure look and act bonded to me.Nope, at least not bonded ...copper covered lead.
