[QUOTE="Brent, post: 32567, member: 99"] I think the newer bonded polymer tip bullets have taken the first step into LR territory, as far as design goes. Made to expand a bit quicker, but still hold up if they hit bone probably better than a non-bonded bullet. If you forget the match, puff, non-bonded bullet stigma, and look at the bullet's construction and fit it to your need, or what you think you need to do what you believe is most desirable on impact, it isn't too hard to see what should fit the bill better than another, IMHO. An X bullet pretty much becomes a hair better than a solid at longer ranges, and a non-bonded poly-tip bullet isn't the best choice for up close and personal Bear hunting. If a bullet penitrated hide, muscle, bone and internals as it blows up all over inside to kill, is that less efective than a bullet creating a narrow channel to the off side and stopping under the hide? I think it depends on the critter we're shooting at also. If you need it to bust down the off side shoulder after destroying the on side shoulder, well... If you need to get through to the vitals, often through bone, consider the terminal velocity and bullet construction and pick one you think will work the way you want it too. My personal opinion, I think that a bonded core bullet using a partition, like the A-Fame or Nosler, but having the VLD shape of a Berger, JLK or Cauterucio would be [B]THE[/B] LRH bullet! It'll come! I'm surprised caliber isn't a bigger issue, but it's often pretty opinionated as well I guess. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
