[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 2118908, member: 10178"] In my experience the Gold Dots are GREAT BONDED bullets. I use the 120 gr in my 6.5 Grendel. Be careful and DO NOT substitute a bonded bullet in place of a standard cup and core bullet or you will run into pressure quickly. It is kind of like substituting a mono bullet using cup and core data. There is more resistance in a bonded bullet than the standard cup and core bullets in my experience. Back way off a max listed cup and core load and work up SLOWLY and use a chronograph. Also take into count your barrel length when reading velocity. Most of the data that you find for the 264 Win mag is done using 24" barrels and that just kills one. The 264 Win mag needs at least 26" of barrel to start to do it's thing. I have a 27 3/4" barrel on mine but it only has a 9 twist. I use Retumbo and 130 Accubond's and average 3350 fps with sub MOA accuracy. SMOKES DEER. [/QUOTE]
