First Look: Federal Fusion 6.5 Creedmoor

Here are five things you need to know about Federal Premium's new Fusion 6.5 Creedmoor soft-point hunting ammunition.

Gamo Launches New Whisper Fusion Mach 1 Air Rifle

Gamo Outdoor USA has announced the launch of its new Whisper Fusion Mach 1 air rifle. The new rifle features Gamo's latest technology, the IGT Mach 1. Replacing the standard spring powerplant with an Inert Gas Cylinder, the IGT Mach 1's 33-millimeter cylinder is designed to deliver more velocity and terminal penetration than ever before.

Bullet Bio: Federal Fusion

Some argue that .223 Rem. is not adequate for deer. They say the bullet is too small and the cartridge lacks power. They also claim it is not legal in most states. Factually speaking, they are wrong on all accounts. With the right bullet, .223 Rem. can drive to 20-plus inches and expand to double diameter. And, in the states that allow rifles for deer hunting, only eight do not permit the use of the .223 Rem. As far as the “right bullet” goes, one of the best .223 Rem. loads for deer is the 62-grain Federal Fusion.

Hardware: Gamo Whisper Fusion Pro

Gamo’s Whisper Fusion Pro air rifle possesses a rather futuristic appearance—especially if your idea of an air rifle is a Red Ryder BB gun. But times change, and the recreational airguns of the 1960s and ’70s have evolved into serious shooting machines, some even suitable for small-game hunting. The Whisper Fusion Pro exemplifies that development.
