[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 2408280, member: 879"] I'm also interested in the terminal performance of the Norma Bondstrike, so after you bludgeon your bear, please do an autopsy and let us know how the Bondstrike performed. Under a hundred yards, you probably don't want to use any bullet that might blow apart at high velocity impact. Bullets I have personally used that I know for sure will make an exit hole on a broadside shot: Nosler Ballistic Tip Nosler Solid Base (don't think they are made anymore?) Winchester PowerPoint Hornady SST Sierra Game King soft point (usually unless you hit lots of big bone) My son and I have been using Fusion bullets for about 16 years now, so I have lots of real experience with them on deer and hogs. No matter what angle they go through, I always get an exit hole with 150 Fusion from my 270 WSM. I would expect similar performance in your 7 Mag. They are pre-cut to always expand, even at slower velocities. The jacket is electro-chemically applied to the core; that bonds the copper to the lead. Fusion jackets do not and cannot get pealed away from the core. They just don't come off and it matters not what kind of bone you encounter. The bullet can be mashed flat and mangled but that jacket is still on it! They are just lethal well expanding well penetrating bullets. At the range you plan to hunt bear, there's nothing any better.
