308 Win 180 grain Norma Bondstrike

[SJB358]

Great field report. Thank you.

Are they being accurate for you, or finnicky?

 

[wvbuckbuster]

No argument there.

 

[DrMike]

Yes, I'd say the Bondstrike worked well for you. Congratulations on some fine dining.

the 143's in my 264WM shoot well, around .5moa with an easy development so could even be better
also shot in my a group in my 260 using my eldx load, if I recall they shot well there too.

I'll get some weights and measurements soon. But it looks like a tipped Oryx to me which ain't a bad thing..

What barrel length did you use to get that velocity? Were they factory loads or handloads with 49gn Hunter? Thx.

 

[SJB358]

22” Kimber Montana

And they were Norma factory loads.

What type of media did you shoot them into?

I think the Norma Bondstrike may be the same as the discontinued Hornady Interbond,they certainly are constructed alike and the mushroomed bullets look the same too.I have used the Interbonds on deer,hogs,elk and nilgia.They are a very tough bullet and they have all exited.I think they are a little tougher than the AccuBond.

The Accubonds suck imo. I’ve had them blow through several deer like full metal jackets. It’s when they first came out they might’ve changed your design in their alloy is softer sounds but I shot over a dozen deer that all stood there like they weren’t even shot. That was 180 grain out of my 30-06. I had the exact same experience shooting the 260 grain version out of my 375 rum. Shot two deer and they both ran over 100 yards before they expired.

I’ll take a plain old ballistic tip all day long over it.

I like the Ballistic Tips too.They will give you just a little larger wound channel than the AccuBond,tend to give you quick kills and exit as well.
