I shot some bonded powerglides one last season and I didnt care for them. I did get two deer but only the two that were really close when I shot them. I lost one because I know I hit it but it left no blood. I got another but it left no blood for a ways, these things didnt open up they just went through. I have always used TC xtp black mags and have never lost a deer and never had one go more than 20yrds. I must admit I havent tried the standard shockwaves but I wont be using bonded anymore.
