143 Norma Bondstrike compare

[Slimfinn]

I got a box of 143 norma bondstrike to try out, haven't loaded any yet but laid them side by side with some other 6.5's
150-ABLR, 143-Bondstrike, 143-ELDX, 129-ABLR
Then filed down the Norma and Hornady.
When I get them loaded i will update with more.

Looks to be a substantial bullet. I will be interested to see how they perform for you. Are you intending to send some into jugs?

Jugs and hopefully game

Looks quite possible that the Norma Bondstrike is a rebranded ELD-X or at least built for Norma by Hornady

As far as I know the ELD-X isn't bonded.

Have some loaded up at my ELDX charge and different brass, still 1.5gr below max just to see what they will do

 

[TackDriver284]

Results should be interesting.

They shot under moa, and about 3/4 lower than the eldx. I will try the same load with the now once fired brass and go from there.
I was happy, hadn't shot that rifle since November hunting last year
