re: Federal Fusion vs Core-Lokt

My son uses Core-Lokts in his .308 and I use them in my .270 - the Core-Lolts drops them everytime. My primary rifle is a 7mm WSM and I use Federal Premiums in it (1/2" grouping @ 100yrds) - tried the Federal Fusions in it and the accuracy we horrible (3" to 4" groupings @ 100yrds). But, every gun has its own characteristics; some guns will shoot all brands accurately, while others will only shoot specific brands accurately. If they both shoot well in your rifle, try both on deer this year and see what results you get - if there's not much difference, go with the cheaper ones.
