[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 1183006, member: 75933"] I believe I've read in the ELD information that they didn't use the bonding process due to the inherent accuracy of the grooved jacket process. I guess they found that the groove is more consistent than the bond as far as accuracy and balance are concerned. seems like if it were that big of a deal the interbond, accubond and whatever other bonded bullet wouldn't fly worth a darn due to this "inconsistency" from the hornady press release..... "Bonding a bullet’s lead core and jacket together can be useful for hunting bullets at conventional ranges, but there are some drawbacks. Bonding requires a soft, pure-lead core and a thicker jacket. There are various bonding processes but the result is a soft bullet that is inconsistent in its long-range accuracy and terminal effects. Current bonding methods don’t allow the kind of accuracy needed for extended range shooting. Case in point, there’s a reason you don’t see bonded match bullets." [/QUOTE]
