[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1281290, member: 30902"] No, I don't find that Hornady lied anywhere in their data about the tips melting, no, the ELD-X is not a bonded bullet in anyway as the core is not bonded by heat or chemical process to the jacket. The same AMP jacket is used for the ELD's as is used for the Amax, the difference is in the cannelure which is supposed to prevent the cup and core from separating but as many of us found out, it doesn't. Yes Nosler has been inflating their BC's for years. I've found lots of bullets that shoot well, the lack of same has never been a complaint of mine. My issue has been with Nosler's flat lying to us about their BC's and their proprietary rounds as well as with bullets that fail to live up to what they are supposedly designed to do. Finding a bullet that shoots well isn't hard, finding one that consistently does so along with giving predictable, controlled expansion has been where I've had issues. Terminally the Accubond and Accubond LR have performed pretty well for me with decent accuracy though not quite what I'd prefer. The Interbonds have flat never let me down and I find that Hornady is usually as honest as possible with respect to their published BC's and they've spent a boatload of money and resources on making them even more accurate while other manufacturers kept BS'ng their way through hoping to fool as many of us as possible before independent tests revealed their actual BC's. I have only two complaints about the Interbond, first, they ceased producing it to launch the ELD series and second they don't make them in the heavy for caliber offerings that many of us would prefer. Right now I have five different types of bullets on my loading bench and I'll continue shooting all of them at targets and varmints but as long as I keep getting the kind of performance I've had out of them so far I won't be shooting anything but the Peregrine VRG4 and VLR's at game. I've shot them in 260 Rem, 7mm STW, 300wm, and 300 Rum and in each of them they have proven to be the most accurate bullets I've ever tried and the most consistent controlled and predictable expansion I've seen in any bullet.
