[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2999164, member: 75451"] I have no personal experience with the bonded or controlled expansion (other than a Nosler Partition) bullets. I was generally pleased with Nosler Partitions and the Hornady SP performance on game. I was however disappointed with the Nosler Partition with high velocity impacts as the front end would lose all of it's lead with the jacket "folding" rather tightly back around the base….leaving the remaining bullet not a great deal larger than the bullet starting diameter. The Hornady SP's with a high velocity impact, would expand back to the interlock area, giving a great deal of frontal area, but also shedding about 40% of their original weight. The large frontal area and the substantial weight loss reduced the penetration. These two examples, and having been "turned onto" the Barnes Original X Bullet around 1991 or 92….is how I became an advocate of the mono bullets! As Barnes improved their technology with new bullet introductions, I followed along by purchasing and using their new bullets! But, if they're constructed as advertised…..I see them as a bridge between the typical cup and core and the monos! So, likely pretty good bullets for most hunting scenarios! JMO memtb [/QUOTE]
