[QUOTE="mechengr, post: 1330824, member: 75894"] Wanting to get others' opinions on Federal's Trophy Bonded Tip bullets. I see they recently decided to start selling them as components for reloading. The design seems intriguing to me, lead front core and solid copper shank would seem to provide sufficient weight retention at short range while expanding at further ranges than full solid copper bullets. Does the bonded lead not open as easily as cup-core? As someone who's currently only hunting out to 500 yds or so, these seem at first glance to be another viable option. Minus the likely inaccurate BC's reported by Federal, am I looking past anything else? Along the same vein, their new TLR line appears to be a slightly tweaked TBT. [/QUOTE]
