[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 68627, member: 319"] Yeah, that's a good point people should know: The bonded core doesn't agree with forming the boattail. So one needs to choose between bonding and the RBBT. Another--jackets thicker than .030 don't form in the ULD ogive well. If you want .040 or .065 jackets for some reason, stick with the tangent ogives. Johnny, I agree with Kirby--talk to Richard and he'll help you out. In your situation, I'd like to try the bullet I [i]almost[/i] ordered: A 225, .030, bonded FB with the ULD ogive. I would [i]think[/i] that would be outstanding for Moose, at least. If it turns out to be too tough for deer, have him make some unbonded. Anyway, when Richard told me he could make the same thing in 240, I changed my order to those but they're for a RUM. I primarily want them for elk at the moment (if I get them in time) and will just have to do some expansion/penetration testing to determine if I need something softer for deer. Until I do some testing, I'm really just speculating. [/QUOTE]
