[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 898277, member: 39801"] I could be wrong, so please someone correct me if needed. I read somewhere (NOT directly related to the LRAB) that bonded bullets require a softer type of lead to facilitate bonding to the jacket. So while bonding definitely increases weight retention, one of the trade-offs is that once the jacket opens up the lead itself is relatively soft and pliable compared to some other bullets. This is potentially the reason for the low expansion velocities, and the extremely rapid expansion at high velocities. Like everything - no free lunch. Another reason these bullet performance threads help us all get smarter. [/QUOTE]
