[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1206451, member: 2736"] The others worked very well, the difference was consistency. I have also used other bonded bullets like the Speer Hot core with fare to good results. but It seems that no matter where the shot is placed with the Accubond the exit hole is pretty much the same. I did some test with the 140 grain Accubond in my 7 WSM by making a point of picking a different Point of impact, (Behind the shoulder, in the shoulder, high in the shoulder and spine, in the neck, and quartering away) and the exit wounds averaged 2" consistently. the other bonded bullets performed well and stayed together but depending on shot placement, exit wounds varied greatly in size. We all try to make a perfect shot every time, but sometimes depending on circumstances like a running shot, it is nice to know what the bullet will do if a less than perfect shot is made. Before Bonded core bullets, there were bullets with the lead core locked in place ether with the internal design of the jacket or the use of a heavy cannelure that actually crimped the jacket trapping the core. Most of these performed well at the time but bonding the core to the jacket made a big improvement. Just my experience with bonded bullets. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
