[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 1850583, member: 66917"] With bonded bullets you can sometimes get small voids with the bonding process. A void in one side of the bullet might cause it to fold/split oddly. This might cause the bullet to fail. What I do with bonded bullets is I weigh them and keep the ones way out of bounds for fouler rounds. I recently went through 50 6.5mm 142gr Nosler ABLRs. I saw bullets as much as .5 grains light, not many that went over 142. I would be suspicious of these light ones for use on critters. I kept all the 141.9-142.1 bullets for loading and using on game. I am still working on loads with the 142, I never could get the 7mm 175 ABLR to shoot to my accuracy needs in my 7mm LRM. It seems to like the Berger 180 VLDs, 180 Hybrids and 195 EOLs. A note about bonded bullets. On elk at normal distances 395-430yards I have failed to see pass throughs on elk using 180 Nos ABs starting at 3000 fps from a 300 WSM. So they don't always give you 2 holes, but better than a Berger would, they always disappear on elk and they both kill. [/QUOTE]
