Evidently, Fusion bullets are plated rather than copped jacketed in the traditional cup-and-core process that we're familiar with.
They've got a base unlike anything that I've seen in traditional reloading components. Neither flat-based nor boattailed, they're sort of a hybrid and should act like FB bullets.
Doesn't that look odd? Still, they're good looking bullets and should work just fine in our rifles. It may be a while before I get a chance to play with them. The hunting season is in full swing around here, and the holidays are fast approaching.
I'm sure that I can find something to use them for. .30 caliber, 150 grain bullets won't last long around here.

Positively wierd. Like the back end was cut off a lathe after turning. I've seen a lot of bullets in the raw, but that's a first for me.
I shot them at Boomershoot '09 and '10 in my Winchester Model 70 (.243).
The 95-grain Fusion is the most accurate load I've ever shot out of that rifle, easily capable of sub-MOA results at 385 yards, and near-MOA at 600.
If the 30 caliber Fusions have the same results from a similar decent rifle, they should be your go-to factory ammo. Handloading, try to duplicate Federal's powder loads, since Federal seems to have it down pat.
