[QUOTE="Lou270, post: 2670789, member: 5352"] I have always gotten exits with 140 AB, but in 270 Win. Bonded bullets tend to have the widest expanded diameters of the different bullet types. Do great damage and penetrate well, but the wider front limits penetration compared to some designs, particularly poking through off hide which can stretch a lot before giving. A partition typically blows off most of front and jacket peels back along base. A mono, even if expands well has gaps between the petals. Both tend to have smaller frontal area - which is why tend to penetrate deeper than a bonded bullet that keeps a wider expanded front. These are generalities but more retained weight may not help in penetration. Depends what you like but looks perfect for me. More penetration may be narrower wound and more tracking. It is always a tradeoff despite what marketers claim:) Lou [/QUOTE]
